"We want to be as close as possible to our end consumers, explains Dr. Christoph Maier, the company director, elaborating "and we want to find out exactly what our customers want at first hand."

The Comazo product range encompasses hundreds of items. The selection ranges from basic underwear (comazo) to classy lingerie (comazo black), functional underwear for sports and leisure (comazo active) as well as underwear for the specific requirements of the young at heart (comazo platin) and fair trade underwear (comazo earth). Special collections have also captured new clientèle: For example, the work underwear and protective underwear produced by Comazo provide protection against burns for fire-fighters.

The specially developed health care underwear produced by comazo med is tailored to the specific requirements of a range of medical conditions such as neurodermatitis. Dr. Christoph Maier is confident that this set-up allows them to satisfy the needs of as many of their customers as possible: "In line with our motto We make favourite underwear, feel-good factor is our driving force. For a special 'feel-good factor', the manufacturing process is also of primary importance.

The sustainability of our planet and its preservation for future generations must be our most important concern. That is why a part of the philosophy of Comazo is that the production of our underwear meets the highest social, human and ecological standards.

For this reason, Comazo places maximum emphasis on environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes in the company production facilities. Waste water is tested, pre-treated and then fed into a separate purification system. In 2009, a heat recovery system was introduced at their headquarters in Albstadt, improving the balance of CO2 on a sustained basis through optimising their level of energy efficiency.

"At Camazo we take pride in the fact that we use the most up-to-date technologies available worldwide for environmental protection," says Michael Nädele, the company director. Their most recent promotional campaign, "Staff as Models", received a large amount of media attention throughout Germany: The Comazo Online Shop exclusively uses pictures of its staff in their favourite Comazo underwear. This fantastic idea came about in 2009, when Comazo celebrated its 125th anniversary.
