Sustainable Initiatives

Sustainability,
designed into
the building.

Beyond certifications, our sustainability commitments are engineered into how the campus is built, powered, ventilated, and run — from the choice of machine fleet to the thickness of the walls.

Our environmental and social commitments are not a corporate add-on. They are decisions that shaped the machine fleet, the architecture, the energy plant, and the daily flow of 2,400 employees through the campus.

The following seven initiatives summarise where we have measurably reduced energy, water, and carbon — and where the next phase of our sustainability roadmap is heading. Verified figures are published annually in our ESG report.

01 / Knitting Technology

Advanced STOLL knitting fleet

Our facility runs around 400 STOLL flat-knit machines — including 12 GG–180, 7 GG–200, and 3 GG–20 units. Globally recognised for higher durability, advanced design capability, and a 25% energy advantage and ~20% longer operational lifetime over conventional jacquard machines.

02 / Energy Systems

Energy-efficient production

High-speed servo motors and advanced linking machines deliver ~25% energy savings and improve working efficiency by nearly 20%. A Bus Bar Trunking system distributes power efficiently across the campus, while magnetic-bearing chillers cut cooling energy by ~30%. Energy meters in every section enable continuous monitoring.

Live metering
03 / Renewables

1 MW solar with net metering

A 1 MW rooftop solar system feeds the campus grid with net metering to maximise renewable use and minimise wastage. Rainwater harvesting is installed for water conservation, and a dual-flush system is planned across the facility.

04 / Carbon Reduction

Clean transportation on-site

EV charging points are installed within the premises to support clean transportation. Bicycle stands across the campus encourage employees to choose eco-friendly commute options and contribute to reducing carbon emissions.

05 / Green Environment

Two-thirds green open space

Nearly two-thirds of the total factory premises consist of green open areas with trees and landscaping. Employees pass through greenery and open space before and after work — a deliberate design choice that supports wellbeing and reduces mental stress on the floor.

06 / Building Design

Daylight & passive cooling

The production facility is planned to maximise the use of natural daylight through carefully placed windows — reducing daytime dependence on artificial lighting. 15-inch brick walls maintain a naturally cooler indoor environment and lower cooling energy demand.

Daylit production floors
07 / Fire & Safety

Four smoke-free staircases

The entire production building is designed with four smoke-free staircases and no internal stairways inside the production floors. This minimises smoke-trap risk during emergencies and supports faster, safer evacuation in the event of a fire.

4 smoke-free stairs
0 internal floor stairs
The Facility

One campus. Every step of the knit.

Vertical integration is what allows us to commit to short lead times and predictable quality. Visit the floor — we host European buyers for full-day audits any week.
