Timberland PRO gets an injection of new products in workwear range
P
footwear, trousers, tops, jackets and accessories. All products benefit from the brandʼs latest innovations in workwear, such as new fabrics designed to offer optimum durability and comfort throughout the working day. Clothing technology developed by Timberland PRO includes Rain Repel, a fabric with an outer layer that resists moisture penetration, plus WickWork, which is used in T shirts to help pull sweat away from the body and move it to the shirtʼs surface for faster evaporation.
Every item in the new range has been created with particular trades in mind, incorporating features designed to meet the demands of a typical working day in those industries. Cassie Hepner, global marketing director at Timberland PRO, said: “Each design is of premium quality and engineered with technologies to provide the best in comfort, durability and performance. By using the best fabrics available – and creating our own where they arenʼt – our products work as hard as those that rely on them, helping tradespeople to conquer their working day.” As with all Timberland PRO products, the new items have been designed with the companyʼs longstanding commitment to environmental and social responsibility at the forefront. For example, a number of the brandʼs products include the use of materials such as recycled PET plastic, organic cotton and recycled rubber.
Ms Hepner added: “Responsible innovation is at the heart of our product design and we strive to be environmentally aware when creating a new style – from using renewable and recycled materials wherever possible, to ensuring a responsible supply chain.

Permaset now powered by solar energy A
s the go-to ink of choice for eco-conscious screen printers, Permaset is now powered by
solar energy.
Permaset's eco-friendly ink range is manufactured in Australia by Colormaker Industries under strictly controlled conditions, where all paper, water and wastes are recycled and power is sourced from 100% renewable energy including 356 solar panels on the roof.
The solar installation was officially opened on Friday, September 25 by Federal MP for Warringah and champion for renewable energy in Australia, Zali Steggall.
Colormaker Industries managing director, David Stuart, said: "The energy generated by our solar array is enough to power 15-20 homes and will save the production of over 100 tonnes of greenhouse gas per year. "Sustainability is something our customer base cares deeply about. We're delighted that from now on a little bit of Australian sunshine will be going into every pot of Permaset, Permatone and Permaprint Premium ink we produce."

This announcement comes following disruption caused by Brexit and the demise of the textile industry. The Horton family made the decision as a result of reduced sales of UK made products and the cost of maintaining machines in Worthing, Sussex.
As of October 1, Coolflow Schoolwear will distribute the Charles Kirk brand from its business operation in Leicester, with the aim of achieving a shorter and leaner supply chain, allowing the products to remain competitive.
