Our China-based company is a German-Chinese joint venture: we have been working together since the company was founded in 2008. The production is GOTS certified. As a particularly versatile specialist for sustainable materials, we value the cooperation with the factory very much. The proximity to the raw material and the excellent quality of the production facility have convinced us during our personal visits for decades - together we prove that "Made in China" also works differently.

Polyester is used at LANIUS in a very selective and exclusively recycled manner. In the course of the recycling process, polyester residues from yarn and fabric production are collected, decomposed into a high-quality raw material and used for new yarn. The use of recycled fibers conserves the limited resource of crude oil and our environment.
