SIEMENS ENERGY
AND BLÅKLÄDER
Siemens Energy, a listed electrical and energy technology manufacturer based in Munich, Germany, has chosen Blåkläder as its supplier of workwear for employees around the world. Through close collaboration and high-quality products, Siemens Energy ensures that their staff, who work in demanding environments, have the best protective clothing. The partnership, which includes fast deliveries and a focus on sustainability, guarantees top-notch safety and comfort.
A PARTNERSHIP FOR SAFETY, COMFORT, AND SUSTAINABILITY
Siemens Energys portfolio includes power generation, power transmission and industrial solutions in both conventional and renewable energies. The company is heavily focused on building infrastructure, distributed energy systems, and digitalisation within the process industry. With a vast workforce, this places high demands on workwear that must be both safe and comfortable to support employee performance.
Previously, Siemens Energy used another supplier for their work and protective clothing, but they encountered difficulties with delivery and stock management. They began searching for a new supplier who could offer standardised garments with a high level of protection and comfort. This is where Blåkläder came into the picture.
WHY DID SIEMENS ENERGY CHOOSE BLÅKLÄDER?
"Blåkläder conducted a successful wear test, and their workwear proved to be both lightweight and breathable, which is especially important in warmer environments," says Udo Weber from Siemens Energy, who is responsible for purchasing workwear.
Another important aspect for Siemens Energy is fast delivery. Blåkläder can deliver work and protective clothing directly to employees' private addresses or to construction sites when necessary, streamlining the entire process. This is coordinated through system supplier SSV-Kroschke.
FOCUS ON SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY
For Siemens Energy, sustainability is becoming increasingly important. The company values Blåkläder's efforts to reduce their environmental impact and maintain ethical working conditions in their factories.
"Blåkläder ensures that their sustainability efforts adhere to ethical and environmental standards, such as the SA8000 certification, which includes unannounced inspections of working conditions," explains Udo Weber.
When it comes to protective clothing, Siemens Energy is particularly interested in products with high durability and long-lasting protection, specifically inherent multinorm garments that retain their protective properties over time.
"It is crucial for us at Siemens Energy to have inherent multinorm garments that maintain their protective functions over time," Weber explains and continues: "We also require metal-free workwear, as metal poses an explosion risk in many of the environments where our staff work, such as power plants and factories."
EMPLOYEES' EXPERIENCE WITH BLÅKLÄDER WORKWEAR
Siemens Energy staff have expressed great appreciation for Blåkläder’s workwear, especially in terms of comfort and design.
"The garments are of high quality and very comfortable to wear. They are lightweight, breathable, and don't feel like traditional workwear. Blåkläder’s multinorm protective clothing is so comfortable that it hardly differs from regular workwear, which has led to employees no longer requesting other brands. The design is both functional and attractive," says Udo Weber.
A STRONG PARTNERSHIP
The collaboration between Siemens Energy and Blåkläder has proven to be highly successful. Udo Weber describes the relationship as partnership-based, where personal interaction and close cooperation between Siemens Energy, SSV Kroschke, and Blåkläder have been key.
"We at Siemens Energy greatly appreciate Blåkläder's high delivery frequency and their ability to quickly meet our needs," says Weber.
It is clear that Blåkläder has become an important supplier for Siemens Energy. Together, the companies work to ensure the safety, comfort, and sustainability of Siemens Energy’s employees.
