INSPECTION
Design and creativity, quality fashion products and technical goods of high added-value have been identified as major competitive advantages of the textile and clothing industry. In a framework of global competition, research and innovation are crucial elements to further develop the knowledge base of the sector and to provide fresh impetus to a sustainable and competitive industry.
To satisfy the high demands of our customers and for continued renewal, Peak Performance engages in on-going development of materials, design and technical solutions. Our R&D labeled garments undergo extra tough tests before being introduced on the market. The garment tests are performed by professional sports people affiliated with our Peak Friends. Very often, the solutions and techniques first developed and tested in our R&D, are later found in garments from Peak Performance’s other collections.
