FERAX operates in accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 system . This is an international standard specifying the requirements that a quality management system in an organization should meet. All of these requirements are met, and annual audits are a confirmation of maintaining high standards.

The quality of the offered women's clothing is guaranteed by the OEKOTEX Standard 100 mark , which confirms the quality and safety of the components used in production, that they do not contain any harmful substances and heavy metals that pose a threat to health. As one of the few, FERAX has this certificate for final products and all raw materials used.

   

For almost 30 years of its activity, FERAX has gained extensive experience in the knitting industry , mainly in the production of women's clothing and women's underwear. It has an extensive research, development and implementation department , with a modern laboratory equipped with devices allowing for constant quality control, its own dyeing house and a highly qualified team of technologists and designers . The team is constantly improving its qualifications, constantly monitoring technological and design novelties, overseeing the current production of women's clothing, developing new products, recipes, and also monitoring the latest trends appearing on the fashion market. It is thanks to this that FERAX is the undisputed leader on the Polish market in introducing product and technological innovations.

Long-term cooperation with the LYCRA® concern and other leading manufacturers of yarns for the textile industry gives the company access to all the latest news and innovations in the knitting industry. The result is "product" successes - underwear and women's clothing. As one of the first manufacturers in Poland, FERAX used 3D TECHNOLOGY in the production of women's tights , which gives the products exceptional elasticity and fit as well as a velvety grip. It introduced to the market hosiery products resistant to the so-called flying eyes, made in the LYCRA® Fusion technology . Another success is the use of LYCRA Xceptionelle - another revolutionary technology developed by the LYCRA® concern. Thanks to it, having a modern machine park, it is possible to produce hosiery products in very large sizes without using the so-called panel wedge, with a special construction of the panty part. This is a very friendly solution for plus size women. Another unique feature are anti-cellulite tights made of innovative FIR (INFRARED) yarn, which were created using a unique technology combining a mineral additive with the yarn structure.

FERAX has one of the largest machinery parks for the production of underwear and women's clothing using seamless technology. It manufactures products from natural fibers (wool, cotton), mixed fibers (viscose, miyabi) and synthetic fibers (polypropylene, polyamide).

This allows for the production of women's THERMO underwear - which provides thermal comfort in all weather conditions. It is ideal for the autumn and winter seasons for physically active people who do sports, both as a hobby and professionally.

One of the latest projects (for public orders) is the creation of underwear designed for uniformed services and for professional groups working in extreme weather conditions, or requiring special protection. They have special properties, e.g. they protect against insects, mosquitoes, ticks, have special hydrophobic and antibacterial coatings, are made of special yarns such as Coolmax, Thermocool, Prolen-Siltex.

As the first in Poland, GATTA produced BIO-ECO TIGHTS women's tights in 2015 from ecological EVO yarn, which consists partly of production waste - castor bean plant, from which castor oil is obtained. To produce this yarn, technology was used that reduces CO2 emissions by 7 kg per 1 kg of yarn.

The brand continues to work in this direction, considering that ecology is not only fashionable but also necessary these days. Modern and technologically advanced companies producing fibers and yarns focus on using used raw materials to reduce the degradation of the natural environment. Together with Fulgar GATTA, it meets these activities and, taking care of the planet, offers the Q-EKO women's clothing line made of ecological Q-nova fibers obtained from recycling. The ecological aspect of women's clothing from this line results from the applied production process, which ensures lower water consumption and lower CO2 emissions per kilogram of yarn produced and the use of secondary raw materials. In addition, the brand also invests in the production technology itself, reducing water consumption, saving energy, and uses environmentally friendly dyes.

The brand has been GRS certified since 2021 - Global Recycled Standard is an international standard that specifies requirements for the certification of recycled fibers . The aim of the GRS program is to increase the use of recycled materials while taking care of the environment, social conditions, or control of the chemicals used that are safe for humans and the environment. To receive this certificate, the company had to undergo a very restrictive audit and separate the production part dedicated to production in accordance with GRS principles .

Receiving this certificate means that FERAX meets all standards and requirements and has women's clothing in its portfolio that contains at least 20% recycled raw material.
