Quality We learn from the Commercial Department that the industry sector is increasingly aware of the advantages of 100% cotton fa- brics while for health-care gowns and pajamas, fabrics need to look as good as new for much longer even while subjected to in- tensive washing. Facel’s workwear and uniforms are medium-high quality crea- tions, well designed, based on excellent patterns, in selected fa- brics that will not pill, and heavier than standard fabrics. Finishing details also stand out, as is the case with the double show seam reinforcing those parts exposed to wear. Colour has become very important to the hostelry and health- care sectors, as quality and differentiation play a major role in cli- nics, veterinary clinics, hospitals, laboratories and private services. Facel’s production process involves strict controls. All products by this company will resist industrial washing while remaining durable. Seams are also guaranteed to be resistant, even in workwear or uniforms for sectors involving physical activity. As fabrics do not fray or pill, clothes look as good as new much longer. JOBWEAR 66
