The Austrian luxury brand Wolford has been awarded this years Vorarlberg Innovation Award for its Pure 50 Tights. The prize-giving took place as part of a gala event at Bregenz Festival Hall on 16 September. The prize honours Wolfords commitment to development, especially in regard to new technologies and workmanship of materials.
The development team of Wolford AG welcomes the Innovation Award 2014.
We are especially pleased to receive this prize as it is a symbolic reward for the outstanding achievement of our development department over the past two years, said board spokesman Axel Dreher. Wolford has always set benchmarks with technical innovations in the past. As the critical driving force behind the companys success, they create the core element of our corporate strategy. With the Pure 50 Tights, we have reached yet another milestone.
This time its the worlds first tights where, due to a special technique, the seams of the panty section are smoothly bonded, ensuring they are invisible even underneath tight clothing. Furthermore, the elasticity of the fabric is retained even after numerous washes. As these quality requirements are not feasible with machine manufacture alone, manual techniques play a vital role here.
This is the 14th time that the innovation award, presented by the Federal Economic Chamber, has taken place. The aim of the competition is to make people aware of the innovative power of companies within the state of Vorarlberg and to show which market successes can be achieved through unusual new products and services. This year, awards went to seven companies in Vorarlberg.
