ENGEL’s approach to workwear blends innovation, precision and meticulous attention to detail. Building on a heritage that dates back to 1927, we draw on decades of textile expertise to craft garments designed for exceptional durability. Every material is the result of extensive research and rigorous testing, ensuring our workwear can withstand even the toughest conditions.
With ENGEL’s signature function-first design and its commitment to producing quality workwear apparel since 1927, there’s every reason for the thorough and rigorous testing of fabrics, colour retention, hardware, finishes and special repellent and protective treatments, to ensure that the final product makes the working day as safe, efficient and comfortable as possible.The result of this process - which can take days, weeks and in some cases months - results in a line of workwear that is 100% certified to the right quality and standards.

REPREVE®
ENGEL is proud to incorporate REPREVE® into our collection. REPREVE is a leader in field of recycled fibre innovation, transforming discarded plastic bottles and post-industrial fibre waste into high-quality, traceable recycled polyester. It is the only eco-fibre with U-Trust verification, certifying that recycled content requirements have been met.
Across the supply chain, REPREVE’s unique FiberPrint™ tracking technology ensures that products contain genuine REPREVE fibres and meet strict recycled content standards. This advanced verification enables ENGEL to validate the authenticity of products containing REPREVE, offering complete transparency.
Currently, 72% of our GALAXY and Safety collections contain REPREVE. See more on these products here: GALAXY and Safety collection.
The choice to integrate REPREVE forms part of ENGEL’s broader commitment to using materials not only sourced from regenerated post-consumer and post-industrial waste but also certified by independent third parties. Certification plays a vital role in ensuring transparency and integrity across our environmental claims.
This innovative material brings several key benefits to the development of our workwear
We have incorporated Sorona into seven products in the GALAXY range, using both Sorona Agile and Sorona Aura variants. This reflects our commitment to integrating advanced materials that embody our ethos of quality wherever possible.
