For more than 80 years Barco Uniforms has fused innovative fabric technology and fashion-forward design to create medical and corporate uniforms and customized work apparel that inspires individuals and enhances company brands. Today, this acclaimed leader is launching its ground-breaking arcTechnology, four unique fabric technologies created to enhance the wearer's experience and leave customers looking and feeling their best, and debuting its new brand that reflects the ardor, innovation, and leadership that will carry it through the next generation of the apparel industry.

"Barco Uniforms has been grounded in the belief that things can always be better. Driven by the imagination of our team and honed by a passion for quality, we are known for continuously reshaping the uniform apparel industry," said Kyle Weiner, Executive Vice President and COO of Barco Uniforms. "Our new brand symbolizes our rich heritage of leadership and quality while pointing to a future of ongoing excellence and innovation like our new arcTechnology, which blends style, fit, feel and performance."

Barco Uniforms' Advanced Research Clothing Technology, or arcTechnology, is the science that redefines what professionals expect from their work wear and ensures that every garment works as hard as those who wear it. It is a strong indication of the company's enduring dedication to research and development. Initially, arcTechnology comprises four unique fabric technologies, arcFlex, arcLux, arcRelease and arcDry, each specifically formulated to provide exceptional quality for professionals working in high-pressure, demanding environments where performance is critical.

arcFlex is an exclusive fabric that stretches and moves with a person, leaving them looking and feeling their best through even the most difficult shift. It adapts to ease movement freeing individuals to act quickly, and delivers an extraordinarily comfortable fit. arcFlex infuses the NRG by Barco Collection for healthcare professionals with the freedom of movement that's essential to performance.

arcLux is an ultra-soft fabric that wraps professionals with a feeling of luxury and pampers professionals even as they care for others. Grey's Anatomy Professional Wear by Barco uses arcLux and is designed especially for the nurse who is passionate about her work, committed to her profession, and who expects as much from her uniform as she expects from herself.

arcDry is specially formulated with superior moisture-wicking properties that help keep professionals dry and comfortable in virtually any situation.

arcRelease is a premium, easy-care fabric with a soil-release finish that helps lift the most challenging stains. This unique fabric is available in Barco Uniforms' Identity apparel and is ideal for environments that deliver the unexpected.

"At Barco Uniforms, we are driven to innovate partly because we are always looking to advance the industry, but primarily because the people who wear our uniforms want comfort and need fabric functionality to match work environments that are becoming more and more demanding every day," added Mr. Weiner. "Our new brand speaks to our customers with energy and enthusiasm and mirrors the real, emotional connection we have with them and the work they do."
