Metal sector: textile sharing relieves burden on company management

Shortage of skilled labor, digitalization, competitive pressure - those who run a company in the metal sector often work under great stress. This is why it helps to delegate organizational tasks wherever possible. For example, by entrusting the supply of workwear and cleaning cloths to a professional textile service provider such as Mewa.

Full service package

The Mewa Textilsharing service for professional clothing not only helps with the selection of appropriate garments, but also ensures that all applicable standards and protection requirements are taken into account. Purchase, storage and care, as well as size changes, reorders and repairs are part of the package. Unlike a "do-it-yourself solution," the costs incurred are transparent and plannable from the outset thanks to the service contract. What is also important: extensively certified textile service providers such as Mewa not only ensure that customers receive hygienically impeccable clothing, but also guarantee the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly processing possible.

Safe, durable and environmentally friendly

Investment in the development of new products and advanced technologies is an essential part of Mewa's business philosophy. The textile service provider continuously optimizes its resource-saving process technologies, making it the industry leader. This also applies to the development of textiles. Only high-quality materials are used that meet the high requirements of the working environment. New collections are designed in the in-house R&D department and existing clothing is further developed in cooperation with fabric manufacturers and research institutes. The resilience and durability of the workwear are intensively tested in the in-house technical center and in certified institutes. The result: improved and durable fabrics with new, additional protective functions.

Modern professional clothing can do more

Workwear for the metal sector must first and foremost be hard-wearing. Mewa offers a wide selection of heavy-duty workwear. Elastic, breathable fabrics and ergonomic fits already ensure maximum freedom of movement and optimal wearing comfort. But Mewa goes one step further and with Peak has recently developed its first collection of workwear made from recycled materials. The polyester yarns used for it are made exclusively from recycled PET water bottles. These are combined with organic cotton. In total, about 75 percent sustainable and resource-saving materials are used to manufacture Mewa Peak. A relevant collection for companies looking to strengthen their sustainability efforts.

Polishing cloth system

In addition to workwear, Mewa has also developed a Textilsharing concept for cleaning cloths. By choosing these reusable cloths instead of disposable ones, companies produce a lot less waste. Moreover, the certified SaCon safety containers are an integral part of this cleaning cloth system: they ensure safe disposal of the dirty cloths. To this end, the SaCon has been tested by TÜV according to the international requirements of the ADR regulations and approved by BAM as packaging for hazardous materials. 

Number one in customer satisfaction

Last but not least some special news from Germany. In the annual study by television channel WELT TV and consulting and analysis company ServiceValue GmbH, Mewa has been awarded the "highest customer satisfaction" score in the "Hygiene and textile service" category for the second time. A great award that once again puts Mewa at the head of its sector!
