Full Description
The company is a Belgian manufacturer of textiles for the general facilities and nursing care of healthcare institutions and medical wholesalers in Western Europe and this for more than 40 years. 'Wearing meets caring' has been the driving force for generations! Within patient clothing, the focus is no longer just on being functional, but also beautiful and stylish. Coloured clothing or with prints and jeans that look casual. All with respect for people, the environment and society.
They offer a wide range of aids for the elderly, people with special needs and psychiatric patients. For example : adapted nightwear and bodies, sleeping bags, nursing blankets, side rail protectors, anti-tear linen and clothing, weighted blankets, textiles for sensory integration ... Residents and patients will feel more at ease in or with convenient, comfortable and protective clothing and products, which at the same time make work for caring personnel as practical as possible.
They take their inspiration from the industry and from consultations with care-givers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Based on their input, they design their collections which are produces in their own factory in Geel.
Quality and durability are very important to the company. They find it very important to produce the clothing and nursing aids with respect for people, the environment and society. That is why they anchor sustainable entrepreneurship in their DNA and why they have also participated in the Voka-Chamber of Commerce Charter for Sustainable Business since 2020.

For them, creating a safe and healthy working environment for their own employees is also part of sustainable enterprise.

Expected Role of a Partner
The company looks for partners in the local market who are visiting healthcare institutions, hospitals, psychiatry,... and for whom the collection can be a nice addition to their own range.

To partners, the company is giving a first offer to put together a sample package at greatly reduced prices. They have photos available of all models and videos of some articles for proper use. They do not work with minimum orders and always have most items in stock. As a partner, you can simply order what you need, but of course, it is best to group as many items as possible so that shipping costs do not become too high. Collaboration is based on a distributorship agreement.
Shipping is handled by DHL.
