Quality that delivers long-term value

Quality may cost more on day one. Over time, it can change the whole calculation. By developing durable garments together with end users, we help companies reduce replacement frequency, improve wearer satisfaction and get more value from every garment purchased.

But long service life is rarely about the garment alone. It is the result of quality, the right garment circulation and, where available, a laundry concept that keeps workwear in use for longer.

30% FEWER GARMENTS PER WORKER*
50% LONGER SERVICE LIFE*
80% OF GARMENTS STILL IN USE AFTER 4.5 YEARS*

*Based on a collaboration with a major player in the European forestry industry. A new structure for garment circulation and laundry reduced the number of garments per worker by 30% and extended service life by 50%, from around 3 years to more than 4.5 years. After that period, 80% of the original garments were still in circulation. Results may vary depending on garments, tasks and working environment.

When glove lifespan becomes profitability

Gloves are often treated as a low-cost consumable. Until lifespan is counted. Then the picture changes quickly.

One of the Nordics’ leading construction and property development companies switched from a cheaper glove to Blåkläder’s 2850 Supreme Strong. The task was demanding, demolition of plasterboard walls, day after day. The previous glove lasted about one week. The 2850 lasted eight.

Even with a higher purchase price, the total cost was significantly lower. Fewer purchases. Fewer changes. Less administration. And far less waste.

8x LONGER LIFESPAN*
128,100 SEK LOWER COST PER YEAR*
157 KG LESS WASTE PER YEAR*

*The example is based on real user data and refers to a company with 100 employees and 52 weeks of use per year. Low-cost glove: 270,400 SEK/year, 190 kg waste, one-week lifespan. 2850 Supreme Strong: 142,300 SEK/year, 32.6 kg waste, 8-week lifespan.

Damage restoration

Mibag

Whether out on site handling fire and water damage restoration, or working in the office, workwear is about far more than protection for Mibag.

The decision to introduce new workwear was made with clear intent. Blåkläder emerged as the clear choice.

Stainless steel

Outokumpu

In Outokumpu’s smelting environments, there is no room for half measures. When the working day involves high temperatures, sparks, molten metal, and heavy wear, protective clothing has to perform throughout. But for an operation of this scale, the garments themselves are not enough. The partnership behind them has to work too.

That is where the relationship between Outokumpu and Blåkläder began to take shape.
