Unisync to Launch Second Airline Uniform Program Certified to Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX®
03 March 2022 - 12:30AM
Unisync Corp.(“Unisync")(TSX:"UNI")
(OTCQX:“USYNF”)") is pleased to announce that WestJet will be
launching its new custom-designed uniform collection certified to
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, which is manufactured and distributed by
Unisync and designed by Juli Grbac. Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® is
the highest industry standard for safety and will make WestJet the
first Canadian airline to achieve this certification.
“WestJet has long had a reputation for
prioritizing safety and the launch of this new uniform collection
for their employees is no different,” said Michael Smith, President
of Unisync’s managed uniform division. “We are extremely excited to
partner with WestJet to set this new standard for safety, while
refreshing the collection to better reflect the WestJet brand.”
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® ensures that garments
meet or exceed global safety standards with regards to harmful
substances. Not only are finished garments tested and certified,
but every single raw material and supplier is tested and audited
before the finished garments are even manufactured. STANDARD 100 by
OEKO-TEX® was developed in 1992 by an international consortium of
textile research and testing institutes. OEKO-TEX® now includes 18
institutes in Europe and Japan with offices in
more than 60 countries. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® testing is known
for ensuring that textiles are tested for potentially harmful
substances and allergens. This standard is used by many retailers
including Pottery Barn, Calvin Klein, Target, Macy's and
children's-wear company Hanna Andersson.
“Safety was the starting point for every
decision in this new uniform program,” said Leah McDonald, Director
of Learning and Program Manager of Uniforms at WestJet. “It was a
top priority for us to work with WestJetters to design a new
program that not only would be one they are proud to wear, but one
that all WestJetters could feel absolutely certain adheres to the
highest safety standard in the industry. Unisync was a wonderful
partner in helping us deliver our objectives of a safe, high
quality, great looking uniform.”
The new uniforms are being rolled out to
employees in the summer of 2022. Unisync will be responsible for
all aspects of the program including manufacturing, quality
control, inventory planning, online ordering, customer service,
warehousing and distribution.
