ENGEL SPORTS
ENGEL GmbH
The functional garments from the Engel Sports brand are made almost entirely using merino virgin wool and silk. No environmentally harmful substances or manufacturing processes are used along the entire value creation chain. The concept emphasises adherence to social standards, the avoidance of unnecessary transport, and animal welfare. The antibacterial properties of the wool-silk mixture naturally counteract odours, which in turn leads to savings in detergents over the lifetime of the garment.
Award winner 2015 in the category »Produkt«»Creating functional sportswear with merino wool — Engel Sports shows that it’s possible! Here, instead of synthetic fibres, a fine blend of wool and silk provides insulation and absorbs moisture without feeling clammy. The sourcing of the wool is strictly controlled and rigorous consideration is given to animal welfare. Finally, a super-ecological alternative for the sportswear segment!«
