Quality

Our Workwear and Uniforms are characterized by a high-quality, comfortable, and functional design. Behind every design, seam, choice, and detail there is careful work and extensive knowledge. When you buy a product from Wenaas, you can be certain that quality is paramount throughout all production processes - from sketch to approved end-product.

The functionality and durability of the product defines in many cases the quality. High quality products that last longer are adaptable, maintainable, and repairable. A design cared for a longer product life provides healthy ecosystems with lower consumption of natural and raw materials, environmental production operations and less waste. To lower our impact of textile production and waste on the environment we use environmentally friendly materials such as Lenzing TENCEL™ Lyocell, Lenzing FR®, merino wool, recycled polyester, and organic cotton in our garments production, as well as Blue Sign dyeing process.

We ensure that our entire supply chain and production of Workwear and Uniforms - from raw material to finished product follows international requirements and standards. In all our developments we are conscious about the quality terms that are important in the production of our products. We therefore emphasize that the right quality for the purpose of the product not only can increase user experience, but also reduce cost and at the same time have a positive impact on the environment.
