Oeko-Tex certification for Lion Brothers
Lion Brothers Company, which specialises in apparel brand identification, has been Oeko-Tex tested and certified. This means the company’s products are free from dangerous levels of more than 100 substances believed to be harmful to people. Because Lion’s products do not contain hazardous chemicals, they are safer for consumers as well as for manufacturing employees and the environment.
“Oeko-Tex certification is an important part of Lion’s ongoing corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives,” says Mickie Holden, vice president of market development at Lion. “Oeko-Tex is a globally respected resource for product testing and certification.”
Getting Oeko-Tex certification fulfils the requirements of Lion’s global branded clients such as Nike, Adidas, and Puma who require third-party, independent textile safety verification. “Oeko-Tex certification is important for the continued growth of Lion’s global business,” continued Ms Holden.
“Europeans have been demanding safe textiles for decades,” says Dr Manfred Wentz, senior policy advisor at Oeko-Tex. “As demand grows in the rest of the global market, especially here in the US, Lion Brothers will be superbly positioned to respond and to enable their customers to benefit as well.”
