Maximum Data Security Through Local Servers

To further strengthen the protection of sensitive information, our company relies entirely on local data storage. All business data — from internal documents and customer information to system backups — is stored exclusively on our own in-house servers.

By deliberately avoiding the use of cloud services, we maintain full control over all data flows and significantly reduce external access risks. At the same time, our internal IT infrastructure enables continuous monitoring and rapid response whenever security measures need to be adjusted or expanded. With this approach, we ensure that the data of our partners, and customers is safeguarded at all times.

From private rooftops to our operations: green energy from EVA

More and more households are turning to photovoltaic systems, making an important contribution to the energy transition. Often, however, more electricity is generated than can be consumed at home.

The regional energy cooperative EVA (Energie Vision Alpbachtal) has a solution for this: We buy surplus solar power from private system operators and use it directly in our company. In this way, we secure a sustainable energy supply, support private producers with fair remuneration and at the same time increase the share of renewable energies in our everyday lives.

Our goal is to take responsibility – for a clean, decentralised and future-oriented energy supply. Together with committed citizens, we are making the energy vision a reality step by step.

We're 70!

When our company opened in 1955, it was the typical start-up period with its unrivalled spirit of optimism and hope for a better future. We have remained true to the textile industry, but almost everything has changed in the last 70 years.

Fashion for customers in the countryside became uniforms for airlines and corporate fashion for well-known companies. Retail became industrial production, regional customers became international clients.

Only one thing has remained the same: Our enthusiasm for what we do.

NEW: The uniform trousers that adapt to the flight level!

Based on our years of working with uniforms for airlines and feedback from pilots, we know: Before the crew takes their seats in the cockpit, the belt is loosened and possibly the top button on the waistband is undone. The reason is provided by flight physiology: At an altitude of 30,000 to 40,000 feet, the pressure in the cabin still corresponds to an altitude of 6,000 to 8,000 feet which causes the abdominal girth to increase by about 4 cm. That's a whole clothing size!

We now solve this inconvenience with uniform pants that have a stretch waistband that adjusts to changes in the body and a matching leather belt with the same function. The pants fit during the preflight check just as well as during the cruise section and then also during the engine shutdown and the post-flight inspection, when the aircraft is already back in the parking position. The uniform trousers with stretch waistband guarantee a constant and comfortable fit. More than ever before, pilots can concentrate on their task without being distracted by a constricting waistband. The uniform pants with stretch waistband thus contribute significantly to the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
