MIBAG
UNITY, QUALITY AND A STRONGER SENSE
OF BELONGING
Whether out on site handling fire and water damage restoration, or working in the office, workwear is about far more than protection for Mibag. It is part of the everyday working environment, shapes how the business is perceived externally, and plays an important role in employee wellbeing. In Blåkläder, Mibag found a partner that not only understood these demands but also met them convincingly and practically.
“Our workwear combines maximum comfort with long-lasting quality, ensuring our teams are well protected and perfectly equipped every day for fire and water damage restoration”, says Thomas Augustin, Responsible for Central Purchasing.
Why Mibag chooses Blåkläder for its workwear
The decision to introduce new workwear was made with clear intent. A number of suppliers were evaluated before Mibag – a leading Austrian provider of restoration services following fire, water, and natural disaster damage – conducted its final internal selection process, including a blind test by the management team. Appearance, material feel and quality of workmanship were all given close attention.
Blåkläder emerged as the clear choice. Premium materials, robust construction, and carefully integrated stretch elements were among the factors that stood out most, especially in the demanding site conditions Mibag teams work in every day.
CLEAR BENEFITS IN THE WORKING DAY
Since the changeover, feedback from the branches has been consistently positive. Employee satisfaction has been high throughout the organisation, as regularly confirmed in conversations with colleagues.
The qualities most often highlighted are:
- High wearing comfort
- Very good fit
- Robust, long-lasting quality
- A modern, premium appearance
The benefits are not only felt by the wearer. Several site managers report that workwear now requires noticeably less administration while also helping Mibag achieve a goal it has been aiming for over time: a consistent workwear profile across the entire company.
“This consistency is a key priority for us – it significantly shapes how we are perceived as mibag externally and is also a crucial factor in enabling our employees to identify with us as an employer,” adds Ing. Wolfgang Resch, Managing Director and Owner of Mibag.
THE RIGHT RANGE FOR A COMPLEX BUSINESS
A broad product offering was another important factor in the selection process. Mibag needs workwear for a wide variety of roles and working environments, from installation teams facing heavy daily wear to office-based colleagues.
With Blåkläder, the business found suitable solutions across the organisation. The addition of Black Edition also created another option, particularly well-suited to more representative environments, giving Mibag a level of flexibility that not every supplier could offer.
For Mibag, durability is not a marketing phrase, but a practical requirement. The realities of damage restoration demand garments that withstand tough conditions over time and do not need to be replaced prematurely.
Lower annual garment consumption is good for cost control, but it also helps reduce resource use. That long-term perspective is something Blåkläder shares and supports through a clear and consistent focus on quality.
A SOLUTION THAT WORKS ACROSS BORDERS
In damage restoration, response times matter. That applies not only in the field but also when new teams or additional staff need to be quickly equipped. Short lead times are therefore essential, and another reason why Blåkläder has proved to be the right fit for Mibag.
This is further strengthened by the online shop, which has made ordering much easier. Its clear structure and strong overview support fast, accurate ordering across multiple locations.
What started successfully in Austria has continued beyond it. Blåkläder is now also used by Mibag in Germany, and the consistently positive feedback from both countries shows that the decision has delivered value not only locally but also across borders.
