Schoeller will soon be commissioning a new and highly modern automated washing system for stretch woven and knits at the Sevelen site. This will give maximum consideration to the highest environmental standards and economical use of resources. Production will continue to comply with bluesign – the world-wide most stringent ecological standard for textiles.
Siegfried Winkelbeiner, CEO Schoeller Textil AG, views this merger as an investment in the joint future. “We are convinced that there will always be a global market for premium Swiss textile products. With the combined innovative power of these two companies, entirely new perspectives are opening up for the cooperation with our joint customers,” he emphasizes, and looks optimistically towards the future.
