Rökona’s patented cut protection, integrated into the front section of work trousers, sets standards in the field of occupational safety clothing.

Our clear recommendation to manufacturers: Incorporate Contracut in six layers! In this way, you can provide the wearer not only with the highest level of protection but also unmatched comfort and excellent breathability. By choosing the right garment manufacturing techniques and using high-quality outer and lining fabrics, it’s even possible to achieve Cut Protection Class 1 with just five layers of Contracut.

The revolutionary functionality of Contracut is truly impressive: When the saw blade comes into contact with the trousers, special threads are pulled out by the chain. These then get caught in the sprocket. This stops the chainsaw in milliseconds. The bottom layer of the Contracut fabric remains intact, ensuring the forestry worker exits the work situation unharmed.

Sustainable protection for you and the environment: Contracut is 100% polyester and is therefore recyclable and environmentally friendly.

We are setting the standard for sustainability and environmental protection in the textiles industry with these values. Our latest certification in accordance with ISO 14001 verifies that we are a reliable partner in relation to the constantly increasing expectations for sustainability in companies.

This environmental management system makes it possible for us to take a preventative approach to environmental issues and to replace or augment expensive technologies with integrated production solutions through careful planning. Our environmental management comprises the planning, control, monitoring and improvement of all operational measures for the protection of the environment and for environmentally-oriented operational and employee management. We make a direct, positive contribution to the global challenge of climate change by minimising the negative environmental effects of our textile production with reduced resources, emissions and waste. Headquartered in Tübingen, a city with a Green government, we are meeting our local responsibility for sustainability with this voluntary contribution.

Microbiological purity: ≤10 KBE/g

Our premises in Tübingen conduct full-scale production that requires electricity. A photovoltaic system went into operation there on May 10^th, 2022 to facilitate our entry into generating renewable energy. The system’s peak power is 75 KWp. In comparison, a single-family house with a PV system supplying four persons generates peak power of around 6 KWp. The calculations indicate that with this new system we will eliminate approximately 40,000 kg of CO₂ emissions each year. An expansion of the system is also planned in the upcoming years.
In addition to the development of our Rökona location in Tübingen, this undertaking also contributes to the development of the city of Tübingen and its planned „Lustnauer Ohren“ solar park located nearby.
“Tübingen’s city government and above all Mayor Boris Palmer absolutely want this system, given that Tübingen is aiming to be completely climate-neutral within eight years.  Measures for achieving this include having so many photovoltaic systems in Tübingen that their combined power output is 200 megawatts. Large roofs on company buildings along with land on the sides of busy roads where no buildings can be constructed anyway offer good location opportunities for these types of facilities.”…

The information area of the design studio wd3 Design displays the intelligent application diversity of Xbrick®, along with our partnership-like collaborative work. The MOON article’s homogenous, shiny surface is ideal for printing, and its Trevira CS certification provides the best conditions for its use in public spaces.

The theme of sustainability welds us together. The Xbrick® concept is single-origin and recyclable, our textile surface has the same properties, and the special sheen is achieved without steaming. Both companies work toward the goal of achieving the highest possible level of sustainability for the products. Xbrick® has been awarded the Focus Open GOLD 2018 prize, while the Moon article is part of the “EFFECTIVE” collection and was equally awarded the Focus Open GOLD prize in 2021.
