“CHT’s Garment Capsule Branding does the same perceptible/visible level as some important competitors which are fully/only focused on garments. Giving customers a very strongly brand-oriented comfort. The brands act in their own way to look and feel the world – again it has to do with perception, very essential. E.g. as a chemical manufacturer, it is still difficult to be accepted by fashion brands.”

Our existing customers should be ‘reassured’, CHT is growing strongly and not only in textiles but in the other areas of the garment too,” Thomas Aplas added.
“Through LAB102 – it promises optimization of treatments/reduction of chemicals. Also, new technologies’ output can be improved by smart chemicals. Moreover, LAB102’s chemical auxiliaries support technology and it is innovative.”

LAB102 is not only chemistry, but also technology is the focus for ensuring sustainability. Fogging, laser and ozone techniques are innovations that are currently paving the way for new ways of treating jeans and garments and are at the highest ecological level. Their use can lead to extreme savings in water and energy. The use of chemicals can also be reduced if processes are optimized and adapted to the new requirements. To this end, the “Jeans & Garment” team of the CHT Group works together with the leading machine manufacturers worldwide on further developments.
Earlier, CHT globally launched the LAB102 denim brand at the trade fair Kingpins Show in Amsterdam.
