Sophisticated fabrics and imaginative 3D textile structures enliven the surfaces. Washable wool blends keep the wearer pleasantly warm or ensure a cool touch. Sportswear becomes even more fashionable and fashion more functional. In the colors of the forest, the world of science fiction or classic streetwear, the universal functional fabrics are equally at home on a bike or in a stylish coffee bar. PRINTED MYSTERY Things will be colorful, mystic and spacey in winter 2015/16 – simply surprisingly different such as forest camouflage blend ® on three-dimensional schoeller -spirit spacer fabrics with traditional glen checks. ® Cozily warm schoeller -WB-400 soft shell qualities with fantastically-printed inner and outer sides catch the eye both on the ski slopes or on a stroll through the city and can be wonderfully combined with the matching plain colors. Whether as an animal print in earthy shades or a tree trunk motif in warm tones of brown and red on the inner fleece and the same print on the matching pants weight: Sophisticated prints are the major theme in the new Schoeller fabric collection. NEW CLASSICS The classic look is interpreted anew and looks refreshingly young and dynamic. Always with the degree of functionality attuned to the end use of the textiles. For example, in the vibrant red ® schoeller -WB-formula jacket fabrics with a perfectly matching printed multicolor forest pattern on the reverse, in which a c_change TM climate membrane provides additional wind and weather protection.

EMBOSSED FANTASY Sportswear has become increasingly fashionable and for some time now, function has been steadily making its way into the fashion world. The borders are becoming more and more blurred – multifunctionality ® is the magic word. In the elegantly embossed schoeller -shape golf pants weights with a snakeskin look or geometric rhombus structure in berry shades, you are still perfectly dressed for the ensuing ® aperitif. The schoeller -spirit jacket fabrics with c_change ® TM climate membrane or the bonded ® schoeller -WB-400 cotton fabrics with ecorepel looks just as chic on the bike ride to work. 3D STRUCTURE In addition to prints and embossing, the fascinating 3D fabric structure provides new looks, for example on pleasantly warm ® schoeller -WB-400 soft shells with herringbone design in dazzling turquoise or as a rhombus look in Bordeaux red with a contrasting royal blue reverse. A very futuristic and technical ® look is also captured in the abrasion-proof schoeller -dynamic 3D ripstop in vibrant red with effect ® yarn. Inspiration for experimental ideas continues with the unusual schoeller -spirit spacer threedimensional fabric in rich colors. And just as fascinating is the One of a kind fabric finished in an ® individual dyeing process with the fluorocarbon-free ecorepel finish for ecological water and dirt repelling or the corkshell 28.01.2014 TM technology for an extra helping of natural warmth.

The company is based in Switzerland and active licensing its technologies globally since 2000. Schoeller Technologies is a subsidiary of Schoeller Textiles and focuses on the development of textile technologies that are made available to production partners in the form of patents and trademarks. Our textile technologies have received numerous international awards and are featured in functional clothing and textiles of international premium brands. The major emphasis is placed on sustainable, environmentally conscious and responsible manufacturing. www.schoeller-tech.com contact: Shannon Walton phone: 970.260 [email protected] PRESS INFORMATION Contact: Shannon Walton Phone: 206.265.2421 [email protected] www.schoeller-textiles.com bluesign® roots, responsible manufacturing and long term thinking Schoeller Textil became the first bluesign® partner in 2001 and won the first bluesign® award in 2008. The independent bluesign® standard was created in response to growing environmental concerns in terms of health and safety throughout the textile production chain without compromising functionality, quality or design. bluesign® certified fabrics and products ensure confidence at each stage, from raw material to final product and from chemical supplier to consumer. In the last 10+ years, more than 700 bluesign® approved fabrics have been developed at Schoeller Textiles. For humans and the environment: "pure ideas + pure materials = benefit". bluesign® approved textiles are found throughout the Schoeller range including stretch fabrics, soft-shells, lifestyle, protective and workwear fabrics; each constructed of different yarn combinations and coating processes. "bluesign® reviewed each thread, each dye and each chemical or nanoparticle in regard to health systems," said Detlef Fischer, VP of bluesign®. "For a company with a low complexity, it is relatively easy to work according to our specifications. However, as complex as Schoeller is, this partnership proves that a model of sustainability is (almost) universally possible when each new idea begins with sustainability and/or ecology”. With hundreds of different articles, Schoeller has an incredible depth and breadth in this field. "Our designers and developers always first consider bluesign® when developing new fabrics and technologies," says Schoeller CEO Hans-Jürgen Hübner. "Yet, there are always new items such as some crazy fabric creations or very complex, highly technical protection fabrics that do not meet the standard in one way or another. Here is where our customers have the chance to decide if a look or performance is maybe more important than the textiles being bluesign® certified”. Currently 80% of the Schoeller Textile range is bluesign®. Thus, sports enthusiasts, furniture manufacturers, fashion designers and workwear specialists may find many beautiful and highly functional Schoeller fabrics that can be worked with or worn in good conscience. 28.01.2010 PRESS INFORMATION Contact: Shannon Walton Phone: 206.265.2421 [email protected] www.schoeller-textiles.com Schoeller products are sustainable Two aspects that Schoeller always considers are the influence of production on the environment and a product’s ecological footprint. Our textiles are of a high quality and "live longer" than cheaply produced goods. They can therefore remain in use for a long time. Due to water and dirt repelling finishes, they stay clean longer and therefore need less frequent washing and can be washed at lower temperatures. This reduces water, detergents and energy use. Schoeller takes a long-term and networked view We are not one of those companies hopping aboard the bandwagon of the "eco trend". Schoeller thinks in terms of both the beginning and end of the product lifecycle. This requires, among other things, the appropriate infrastructure, major organizational input and precise eco audits. For years, Schoeller has been proactively making its own contribution including continual environmental updates to the mill and reworking formulas to take advantage of ecological advancements in chemistry and we will carry on doing so in the future. We continue to put responsibility into practice. The focus of all schoeller developments and actions is people and the planet. We aim to support our customers at work, in leisure and during sporting activities with sophisticated, intelligent and ecologically safe textiles. At every product development step, the questions we ask ourselves relate not only to functional enhancement but also, and of equal importance, to ecology. As a Swiss company, we have been living these two aspects for many years, and doing so every day, powering our every innovation. bluesign® in practice In 1994, we launched our first 100% recyclable stretch fabric and no PFOS-containing products are used in our manufacturing. With the installation of state of the art dyeing machines and a solvent washing machine permitted a further 65% water reduction from 2001. In addition, we have considerably reduced the CO2 – emissions since 2002 and achieved further energy savings by converting to natural gas and recovering energy from exhaust air and wastewater. Moreover, we have succeeded in increasing production capacity and saving energy with an expansion project and the installation of modern tentering frames, an exhaust air purification plant and air weaving looms. All of these are just some examples of how the five tenants of bluesign®: resource productivity, occupational health and safety, consumer safety, air emissions and water emissions are put into practice at Schoeller. 28.01.2010 Schoeller Textil USA sponsors the following organizations:
