Many years of stretch fabric expertise and the most modern textile technologies
Thanks to many years of Schoeller experience in the areas of protective fabrics for active wear, motorcycling and extreme sports, as well as a unique level of proficiency in manufacturing bi-elastic and crosswise elastic stretch fabrics, maximum clothing comfort remains a matter of course. The fashionable function fabrics are produced with the highest quality materials and many of them can easily be washed at up to 60 °C.
Upgraded with finishing technologies such as energearTM (energy recovery system), 3XDRY® (moisture management), NanoSphere® (water and dirt repellence), schoeller®-PCMTM (active temperature regulation), coldblack® (UV and heat protection) or the bionic climate membrane c_changeTM (wind and waterproof), they all guarantee the highest functionality, durability, long service life and ease of care.



Tested according to EN norms and sustainably produced
schoeller®-works textiles conform to the major norms for workwear and in some cases vastly exceed the statutory stipulations. Therefore, Schoeller is a reliable, competent partner for any garment manufacturer who, when the fabric is processed accordingly in his garments, will undoubtedly pass the EN test while also providing protection and ensuring highest performance capabilities at work, even under extreme conditions.
The majority of the fabrics in the schoeller®-works collection conform to bluesign®, the world’s strictest ecological standard for textiles. Due to the extremely long life cycle of Schoeller textiles, less strain is placed on the environment. Moreover, Schoeller fabric finishes that are water and dirt repellent require less frequent and lower temperature laundering.
