From PPE to sound absorption and 3D technology: Sales employee Andrea Handstanger gives an insight into the variety of Getzner Textil products that await visitors at Techtextil in Frankfurt from 23 to 26 April 2024.

Over the past two weeks, a small sensation has been observed at our Getzners Buntspechtle nature childcare centre: Two blackbirds were sitting in their nest and caring for their offspring: three little blackbird chicks.
 

Mums often have the best ideas - like David Nesler, whose mother pointed him to a job advert in the IT department at Getzner Textil. Five years later, the trainee has become a team leader with a lot of initiative and internal support. 

Getzner Textil's district heating network has been in operation since 2001 and utilises the waste heat recovered from the compressor systems, the flue gas heat exchanger of the steam boiler systems and, more recently, the waste heat from the lye recovery systems. This creates a triple win-win situation, because it is good for the customers, for Getzner Textil as an energy supplier and for the environment.

At the end of last year, the TÜV Austria surveillance audit for certification of the energy management system in accordance with the ISO 50001 standard was successfully completed. You could also say that we were once again able to prove that energy consumption, CO2 emissions and resource-conserving production are important to us. Getzner Textil has been certified since July 2021, demonstrating that we systematically manage energy efficiency and take responsibility for the environment.

The joint story of Sandra Manser and Getzner Textil almost came to nothing. Which would have been a shame - for the 27-year-old native "Wälderin" and the 206-year-old family business in Bludenz, both are certain.

Getzner Textil is one of the world's most creative manufacturers of shirt and blouse fabrics. Gabriele Rossi, Head Designer at Getzner Textil, and his team have been responsible for this for around 20 years. In this interview, he explains why this job requires a lot of openness, experience and a bit of courage.

On Wednesday, 17 January 2024, the fabric specialist's apprentice team hosted the traditional New Year's reception for the apprentices. Numerous guests, including the apprentices' families, enjoyed a five-course meal cooked by the apprentices themselves.

December saw the launch of the new "Runway Dakar" campaign, in which our brocade meets the beauty and liveliness of West Africa. It follows "the most beautiful runway in the world" from Morocco to Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal.

Getzner Textil’s success has always come down to courage, openness and curiosity – qualities that are crucial particularly in economically challenging times like these. In this interview, our Management Board looks back and ahead.

„La Lutte“ is the national sport in Senegal and is similar to Swiss wrestling („Schwingen“). Impressive photos were taken on the beach in Dakar, showing the athletes in damask from Getzner Textil.

Getzner’s own brand “acunic” stands for attractive and highly functional sound absorption using acoustic textiles. Architects, interior designers, and interior decorators were able to get a personal impression of the possible applications at the first architect’s evening. 

Getzner Textil presented an innovative fabric made of bio-based polyamide at the last trade fair and thus a sustainable alternative for synthetic yarns. In an interview, development coordinator Barbara Paul talks about the potential and necessity of sustainability in the textile business.

VRASQA revolutionizes the way we experience spaces. How does that work? This is where acunic's acoustic textiles come into play. Getzner Textil's innovative brand makes it possible to improve room acoustics with sound absorption of up to 90 percent. A promising collaboration.

In cooperation with the city of Bludenz, Getzner Textil opened the first company nature childcare center "Getzners Buntspechtle" on October 20, 2023. All those involved were invited to the celebrations, which were followed by a blessing and tour. State Governor Barbara Schöbi-Fink delivered words of greeting.
