Under fair standards, strict environmental regulations and lived sustainability. DONE WITH RESPONSIBILITY Around 220 employees generate around 80 percent of the total value added at the Löffler site in Ried im Innkreis – from development to final production. The majority of the fabrics processed come from the in-house knitting production. What we cannot produce ourselves, we produce almost exclusively in Europe, and we also pay attention to this when purchasing parts. The materials and working conditions are strictly regulated by the production site through the legal framework and standards, and on the other hand are also confirmed by independent organisations: All products carry the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label, which confirms that the materials are free of harmful substances and are in perfect health. Löffler also has OEKO-TEX® STeP certification for sustainable textile production.
