Traceability in the work, corporate and event clothing sector

Lack of traceability is a major challenge for the global textile and clothing supply chain.

With an audience growing increasingly curious about the origin and composition of the goods they buy, EgoTrace traceability gives them the answers they are looking for.

The textile industry involves many stakeholders throughout the supply chain and it is difficult, if not impossible, for a brand to ensure the effective governance of all stakeholders and the manufacturing process.

EgoTrace has a fast, effective response for these issues.

Traceability has always been on our radar: for many years we have been working in a “sustainable” way.

We therefore must demonstrate the real added value of our products, created with respect for social and environmental factors.

Transparency is essential for our customers to gain their trust.

The fact that this solution is 100% Swiss really helps, both in terms of credibility and data security.

It allows me to build trust among the market and have a team nearby to help solve my problems.

Lavalan

Sheep farmers supply their freshly shorn wool to collection points, where it gets sorted by color and quality and pressed into bales. The wool is then scoured in traditional factories in Belgium and the United Kingdom. Plant residues, dung and lanolin are eliminated to obtain a clean, soft and homogeneous laval wool filling. Back in Baur Vliesstoffe in Germany, around 60 experienced employees with a knack for wool later take care of the production of lavalan.

EgoTrace certifies our supply chain so that we can prove the origin of our sheep’s wool to the finished product – true to our motto, “from sheep to shop.”
