At Milano Unica 2025, Getzner Textil AG will present enhancements to its white and black shirting fabrics — delivering qualities that stand out in the market thanks to increased durability and improved visual brilliance.

Getzner Textil AG is establishing itself as a solution partner in the area of personal protective equipment for forestry workers with several new developments. The technical fabrics are more robust than comparable standard products, and are custom-developed according to individual requirements.

The traditional New Year's reception for apprentices at Getzner Textil took place at the end of January. Parents and guests of honour were invited to a ‘magical evening’ - including a magic show and a three-course meal. 

Due to the reduced volume requirements and the cost structure in Switzerland, Getzner is considering the closure of its Swiss site.

With getzspace®, Getzner Textil AG is providing the answer to the latest trends in the area of local public transport. With this 3D technology, passenger seats in regional trains can be made more sustainable and more budget-friendly. It also unlocks many other potential areas of use beyond this. 

The Austrian family-owned company Getzner Textil is hard at work exploring the possibilities of the circular economy in the textile industry. Initial successes are currently being achieved in the recycling of textile waste: Polyester waste is turned into yarn, which can ultimately be used to re-produce the original product.  

Getzner Textil was honoured with the national "Family and Career" award, making it the most family-friendly company in Austria in the category "Private commercial enterprises with 101 or more employees". 

The company childcare centres ‘Getzners Buntstiftle’ and ‘Getzners Buntspechtle’ were awarded the MINT seal of approval for their special support programme.

Getzner Textil is supporting the Vorarlberg non-profit association again this year with a monetary donation.

Just in time for the start of the new childcare year, the company nature childcare "Getzners Buntspechtle" opens the garden gate. Energetic support was needed from all sides, so parents were invited to lend a hand with the final preparations at the beginning of September.

With the expansion of the health centre CSCOM (Centre de Santé Communautaire) by a maternity ward in Bamako, the capital of Mali, thousands of people gain access to faster and safer health care. Women and children in particular benefit from this.

In cooperation with the city of Bludenz, the family-owned company will open the first company-run natural childcare facility in autumn 2023, once again setting an example for the compatibility of family and work.

Getzner Textil is expanding its premises in Bludenz by an area of 4,320 m² and with an investment sum of 27 million euros. During the planned two-year construction period, a production hall for the finishing division will be built. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for this summer.
