In 1933 Triumph established a further production site in the border triangle at Zurzach in Switzerland and, in light of its internationally-focussed company philosophy,transferred the headquarters of the family business there to a neutral country. After the end of the war the company continued its rapid development by successfully expanding into other European countries.

In 1953 the company name was expanded to become "Triumph International". Triumph again demonstrated its entrepreneurial long-term vision for global expansion as early as 1960 when it set up a subsidiary in Hong Kong which placed it in an ideal position to meet the requirements of its female customers in the Far East. By constantly adapting its lingerie designs to the physiques and wearing customs of women in the Far East, Triumph International has gradually established itself in the markets of Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, China,

Sri Lanka, Vietnam, India and the Philippines. The company followed the principle of decentralisation, with the international brand being marketed locally according to the country and region, and if possible, also with local production. Dieter Braun explains: "Our mission is to be able to offer lingerie designs to men and women of all ages and all nationalities which are perfectly suited to them. We are able to take geographical preferences and customs, such as those relating to fit, into consideration in exactly the same way as individual tastes for colour schemes and materials. Whether theyare sporty, functional or lacy and seductive, Triumph International offers fascinating products for all requirements."

Confidence in Textiles – Extra Safety

The entire Triumph International range has been tested for harmful substances and complies with the human/ecology requirements of OEKO-TEX Standard 100. The first successful certifications date back to 1993 shortly after the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 was established. For Hans-Peter Grosch, senior department head raw material management at Triumph, this additional product safety is very important: "Precisely in the sensitive product area of lingerie, underwear, sleepwear and swimwear which is always worn next to the skin and usually for many hours, it is important that harmful ingredients are consistently excluded from the outset. Our customers place their trust in our products when they place them directly onto their skin."

A comprehensive quality management system which applies across all production sites undertakes the relevant controls of the materials used and therefore guarantees compliance with OEKO-TEX test criteria from the time of development right through to the packaging. These controls are undertaken primarily by the company's own laboratories but also through external laboratories. All the test values are filed and can be queried and traced using the codes stored in the washing and care instructions.
