Schoeller Textil AG announces strategic cooperation at this year’s Outdoor in Friedrichshafen. At fair stand A4-402, visitors will experience the debut of Taurex® technology on Tuesday, 20 June, 2017. Tuesday, 20 June, 2017: Taurex® - a development from Red Bull and Schoeller Textil AG Red Bull and Schoeller are proud to unveil the jointly-developed Taurex®-finishing technology at Outdoor in Friedrichshafen. The Taurex® garment material and fabrics feature different types of fibers that encapsulate the essence of Red Bull into clothing – living up to claims of increased performance. The innovative Taurex® fabrics increase physical and mental performance capacity. Taurex® reflects the body’s energy back to the garment’s wearer. As a result, it provides improved wellbeing, greater concentration, reduced fatigue and speedy regeneration.
For some time now, Taurex® has been featured in the Red Bull clothing brand, AlphaTauri, but can now also be applied to other clothing brands, providing certain criteria are met. On 20 June, 2017, together with Red Bull staff, the Schoeller Competence Team provides detailed information on the Taurex® technology at the Schoeller fair stand A4-402.

The sustainable wear2wear concept is synonymous with high-quality, responsible clothing. In Europe, textile fibres from used garments will be used to produce new functional fabrics. Depending on the area of intended use, they also meet strict waterproofing, breathability, protection and comfort requirements. To ensure that the raw material cycle comes full circle, these textiles can be recycled again when they reach the end of their service life. As a result, there is no waste, and they go on to be used in the production of additional garments. All wear2wear partner companies guarantee that – from the quality of the raw materials to the guaranteed recycling end process– these are 100 percent recyclable, functional fabrics made of recycled textile fibres. Water- and dirt-repelling technologies based on renewable raw materials, along with the most advanced membrane technology, will ensure that the textiles are developed and manufactured entirely without the use of PFC in the future too.
