The production process has very special requirements for yarn quality, technology, color, ecology und social structure. Thereby we develop carpets of highest quality, innovation and longevity.

Quality:

The quality of our carpets ranks at the best produced qualities on the world market. We use the best raw material, colors and woolen yarns.
The sense of responsibility of all people who take part in the production process bring in a high measure of knowledge and experience relating to crafts. Constant quality is guaranteed by the highest level of quality assurance and the examination of every single carpet.

Philosophy:

The interior of your environment influence on your satisfaction and motivation in life and your general achievements. One result of it is your health. For this reason we produce carpets that motivate, give comfort and wellness. Therefore we work together with very good designers. In addition we have experimental phases throughout the development process, when new ideas start their way.

Ecology:

The colors of the carpets should be full and brilliant. Color nuances have to be well recognizeable. The colouring of the woolen yarns take place with Azo free colors from Bayer in closed stainless steel systems. Waste water is not impaired. This preserves the environment. Recycled materials can not be used, only new materials apply. Each functional part such as basic fabrics and flor require the highest quality because they are in constant contact with the user. Wastes from the production consist mainly of woolen yarn. The natural characteristics of wool are not harmful to the environment. We produce carpets of high quality for high requirements and endurance and longevity which is our contribution to the environment.
