Fristads GmbH

<h2>About Fristads GmbH</h2>

<p>Fristads is a Swedish workwear company with 100 years of heritage, having driven the development of <a href="https://droppe.com/de-en/products/category/c_clothing/c_jackets">durable and functional workwear</a> since 1925. The company started producing workwear in 1925 in Sweden, and has grown to become Sweden's largest workwear manufacturer by the late 20th century. Fristads offers functional and durable workwear for all industries, establishing itself as a globally recognised brand that stands for quality, innovation and reliability.</p>

<p>The company was founded by John Magnusson, who started manufacturing workwear himself after his attempts to import garments from America failed. By designing in-house and employing skilled seamstresses from local farms, thousands of garments were quickly made and sold across Sweden, with the garments growing in popularity among dockers, bricklayers, carpenters, painters and other professional craftsmen.</p>

<h2>What Makes Fristads GmbH Special?</h2>

<h3>Innovation and Quality Heritage</h3>
<p>In the 1940s, John Magnusson developed a material called FAS®, an exceptionally dense and durable cotton weave well suited for workwear, and the classic FAS® cotton has stood the test of time.

<p>Fristads emphasises sustainability that matters – OEKO-TEX®-certified materials, reduced-water dyeing and transparent supply-chain audits minimise environmental impact without compromising performance.</p>

<h3>Durability and Performance</h3>

In 1925, Fristads' founder, John Magnuson, started manufacturing workwear in the village of Fristad near Borås, Sweden. We believe that every working person deserves durable clothing that fits comfortably and protects the wearer from the first minute to the end of the day. We believe that good workwear should protect the wearer, but not unnecessarily at the expense of the environment. We strive to minimize the negative impact of our operations and have set ourselves the ambitious goal of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.
