lower impact of down vs. synthetic fiber

The scale

3,000,000+ kg of down a year, one lot at a time.

4 washing lines served by 5 machines, 11 Lorch sorting machines and 6 blenders. Industrial scale that never gives up traceability of the single batch.

The four pillars

We supply processed, certified down and feather to fashion, outdoor and bedding brands, and make finished products in our bedding atelier.

A public lot register

DTS® — every lot, verifiable by anyone.

Traceability is not a brochure promise: it is a public record. The lot code printed on the hangtag opens the data we published for that lot, with no need to go through us.

Approved plant
Plant authorised to process category 3 animal by-products, supervised by the competent health authority (art. 24, Reg. EC 1069/2009).
Sterilisation end point
Steam at 100 °C for at least 30 minutes on every feather: the threshold set by Reg. EU 142/2011, beyond which down is no longer an animal by-product.
