Rasmus Munk Chef, Restaurant Alchemist, Copenhagen I had the chance to take part in creating our uniforms together with the designer form Kentaur, and I’m very happy with the results. Apart from looking smart the material is breathable with a lovely light feel to it which makes it very pleasant to work in. The apron solution that eliminates the need for straps feels very liberating. Performing at the front line. undefined Have your logo or name embroidered onto your workwear Made for people. At work.

Vivi Møller Madsen The mobility in the clothes is optimal because they are stretchy, allowing for better movement. They fit comfortably. Great pants, both the summer and winter ones. It is important that there are pockets for the things we need to carry. The residents have commented a lot on how the colors are nice and calm, which somehow also soothes them.

From concept to counter. Kentaur equips textile service providers with retail workwear that performs in the store and in the laundry. Scandinavian design meets durable functionality, creating collections that look sharp and stay strong wash after wash. With one trusted supplier, every element fits together through design, development, logistics and service. Discover how we make retail workwear simple to manage, rewarding to deliver and effortless to wear. From insight to innovation. At Kentaur, every development begins with the people who wear and handle our workwear. Through user-driven innovation and close collaboration with laundries and textile service partners, we learn how workwear performs in the real world. We combine these insights with fashion trends, responsible initiatives and high-durability fabrics to create designs that feel natural, move freely and stand the test of time. Our goal is to make workwear that support both the atmosphere customers meet in the store and the pride professionals feel when wearing them. Features made for retail Behind every Kentaur design lies a purpose. Each collection includes thoughtful details developed for real retail work. Here are just a few of the features that make a difference in daily wear. Breathable piqué panels bring comfort and freedom of movement, while pull-up cuffs and functional pockets make work easier. Wide aprons ensure full coverage and ease of wear. CiCLO® technology is used in the knitted piqué panels, helping synthetic fibers naturally biodegrade and reducing microplastic pollution without compromising quality or longevity. Every feature adds to the experience, creating harmony in the store, confidence for the wearer and value for the service partner. ICA Medis, Stockholm When ICA Medis in Södermalm, Stockholm, reopened after a full renovation, they wanted their uniforms to reflect the same fresh energy as the store itself. Together with Tingstad, we developed a modern clothing concept that captures the spirit of their team and their neighbourhood. Seeing our workwear in action at ICA Medis fills us with pride and reminds us why we do what we do.

Our Wing-Jacket is a very popular jacket among chefs and service personnel from various parts of the world, as it merges the simple chef jacket with the classic double-breasted chef jacket. We call it our chef and service jacket because it is also often requested as an element for clothing concepts aimed at retail, catering, and bakeries. The light fabric weight (175 - 180 g/m²) makes the jacket comfortable to wear in often warm environments. It comes with many different details, which overall give it a more relaxed, down-to-earth appearance. The jacket has a single visible snap button at the neck, which helps to make this design truly unique. The Wing-Jacket is available in different qualities and five different colors: white, black, green, sand, and blue.

Silhouette guide It should be easy to find the right fit. For you to experience the comfort that our workwear offers right from the start. And for you to feel comfortable in your clothing while at work. To make it easier to find the right fit, we have created symbols that show you the fit of our pants. This way, you always know what fit to expect. At Kentaur, we offer 4 different fits: Relaxed, Regular, Shaped, and Slim. With these 4 fits, we aim to make it easy for you to find the pants that best match your personal preferences and ideas. This way, you get the look you desire. At work. Relaxed silhouette Our relaxed silhouette is loose from top to bottom, allowing room for the legs. The loose cut provides a relaxed, casual look Regular silhouette Our regular silhouette fits snugly around the hips and then becomes loose around the thighs and down to the ankles. Like our relaxed silhouette, the regular silhouette also provides room for the legs. Shaped silhouette Our shaped silhouette is snug from the bottom up and becomes looser towards the ankles. Compared to our regular silhouette, the shaped silhouette is tighter around the ankles, better highlighting the figure. Slim silhouette Our slim silhouette is tailored from top to bottom. The slim fit flatters the curves in a complementary way.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bernt Dahl, founder and longtime director of Kentaur.   Bernt was not just a leader. He was the heart and soul behind our company. Over the past 35 years, he built and developed Kentaur from a one-man business into a leading name in the European workwear industry. His passion for innovation and functionality has left a legacy – not only within Kentaur but across the industry as a whole.  - We are shocked and deeply saddened by Bernt’s passing. I had the privilege of working alongside Bernt for over 30 years. He was an exceptional leader, mentor, and partner. His ability to inspire, listen, and bring out the best in others made him truly unique. His absence will be deeply felt, both professionally and personally, says Christian Beirholm, Kentaur’s Commercial Director.  Despite this immense loss, Kentaur remains a resilient and forward-focused organization.  - Our plans for 2025 are well established, and we are prepared to carry forward Bernt’s vision. We are a strong and united team, supported by a competent executive leadership group and a dedicated board. Together, we will ensure Kentaur’s continued growth and success, says Mie Krog, Chairman of Kentaur’s board.  Lars Bundgaard, lawyer and board representative, emphasizes that plans are in place to guide the company through this transition. - We are now implementing the contingency measures Bernt helped shape, ensuring that Kentaur continues to operate in the spirit of his leadership and dedication to excellence.”  Our deepest condolences go to Bernt’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.   May his life and legacy be honored and remembered.  Questions about the above should be directed to Chairman of the board Mie Krog at [email protected] or +45 53781606.

With our Snap-On collection, we have redefined workwear for chefs by creating unique chef shirts, jackets, and aprons with ergonomic benefits. The collection was developed in collaboration with a renowned Michelin-starred chef. The goal was to develop a collection that had not been seen on the market before. It should reflect the concept of the restaurant, creating a common thread all the way around. Ergonomics were crucial. Therefore, solutions were sought to make the chef wear more comfortable. The main focus was on the neck area, which can often be uncomfortable when wearing a regular apron. The solution was to develop a completely new apron that does not need to be tied around the neck. Instead, the apron is fastened to the chef's jacket with snap buttons. By relieving pressure from the neck, discomforts such as headaches, neck pain, and numbness in arms and hands can be avoided. The snap button fastening also makes it easy to change the apron if it gets dirty. Thus, you can easily maintain a flawless appearance and focus on what's important - your craftsmanship. Our Snap-On collection offers a variety of colors, designs, and materials that you can use to underline your style. Whether you prefer a classic aesthetic or a modern style, there is a solution for everyone.

DIN 10524 – HACCP DIN 10524 – HACCP is an industry standard that describes hygiene requirements for workwear used in the food industry. Kentaur’s HACCP collection is certified according to DIN 10524 across all three hygiene risk classes.

These garments can be washed in a similar way to 65% polyester/35% cotton garments but there are a few things to consider. Differences between 50-70% cotton / 30-50% polyester (cotton-rich) to 65% polyester/35% cotton garments: Because of the increased amount of cotton in the garments, they will take longer to dry, although still quicker than 100% cotton. Colored garments may appear to lose color more quickly as the cotton is removed, although at a significantly lower rate than 100% cotton. Garments made from cotton-rich fabrics will not have the same appearance after tunnel finishing as polyester-rich fabrics. White and colored garments should be separated and classified according to the level of soiling and their color. Polyester/cotton garments must be washed separately from other fiber blends, e.g. 100% cotton or 100% polyester. A) White garments Consult your detergent supplier: In consultation with your detergent supplier, a wash process should be developed to remove the soiling and staining. This should involve the use of a blend of anionic and non-ionic detergents. Soap-based products should not be used, to avoid the formation of scums which cause greying of the garments. Brightening and stain removal: Optical brightening agents can be used to enhance the whiteness if required. Either chlorine or oxygen-type bleaching agents can be used to remove stains; these must be completely removed from the garments (especially chlorine) before the garments are tunnel-finished, to avoid yellowing. Rinsing: There must be sufficient rinsing to remove all chemical residues from the fabric before tunnel finishing. The pH and alkalinity of the garments after rinsing should be checked, not only the rinse water. Softeners: If softeners are used, it must be remembered that excessive softener build-up can contribute to premature damage, like pilling formation or fiber hairiness on fabric surfaces, as well as in some cases causing a yellowing effect. This may affect propensity for soil catching. B) Colored garments Brightening agents: When washing colored garments, the use of optical brightening agents is not necessary. If used, they can give the impression of color loss because of their masking effect.  Bleaching agents: The use of bleaching agents should be avoided except in exceptional cases as they can affect the colour and have the potential to damage the fabric if not fully removed during rinsing. Bordeaux (401) and dark colors: Bordeaux and dark colors are more susceptible to color bleeding. It is important to allow enough water in pre-washing and main wash to make sure that excess dyestuffs from the dyeing process are dissolved and washed out of the garments before wearing. If excess dyestuffs are still attached to the garment after laundering, it can increase the risk of color bleeding during wear. It is recommended to pre-wash bordeaux and dark colors 2-3 times according to specified temperature in a single washing machine where loading capacity and liquor ratio can be adjusted. Loading capacity: maximum 50% Liqour ratio main wash: minimum 1:5 Liqour ratio rinsing: minimum 1:6 C) General The wash load should be roughly 2/3 of the machine loading capacity to allow sufficient mechanical action and to reduce the chance of creasing. Washing: The washing process can be split into the following stages, depending on the level of soiling: pre-treatment of the garment pre-wash – to remove solid matter so that detergents act on the soiling and staining effectively main wash – at a temperature and pH that reflects the level of soiling bleaching for white garments rinsing – which can include anti-chlorine treatments, softening or other additions. Caution: To avoid setting creases (thermal shock) when the wash load is being cooled down from temperatures of 50-60°C, the rate of cool-down should not exceed 3-4°C per minute. It is recommended to have a sufficient rinsing process, when using bleaching and disinfection chemicals in the washing process, to avoid corrosion on metal trims e.g., buttons and zippers. The hydro extraction of the garments should not be excessive, otherwise creases can set in. The extraction should also be set to allow 35-45% water by weight to be left in the garments for optimum tunnel finishing. Press-extraction is not recommended nevertheless if the garments are being press-extracted, the pressure should be kept as low as possible to avoid creasing, breaking of buttons and zippers, and imprinting onto the fabric. Any tumbling to open the press cake should be done at room temperature. Drying: Garments can be dried or finished by tumble drier or tunnel finisher. If they are tumble-dried, the load should only be 50-60% cotton/40-50% polyester, otherwise there is a possibility of over-drying, which can cause damage to the garment or shrinkage problems. The tumble-drying cycle should include a cool-down period so that creasing is avoided. If the garments are tunnel-finished, they should be fed into the tunnel finisher separately from other blends and finishes so that efficient drying and finishing takes place. A fabric surface temperature of 130-140°C is adequate for good appearance. Bone-dry garments (garments where no water is left after washing) must not be tunnel finished as this can cause problems such as shrinkage and scorching (change of surface color and texture due to heat).

We understand the critical role hygiene plays in the food industry. That is why we have developed our HACCP-certified workwear collection – to support food professionals with garments that meet the highest standards of safety, comfort, and functionality. What is HACCP? HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety management system used globally to identify, evaluate, and control hazards throughout food production. It focuses on preventing contamination rather than reacting to it after the fact. Compliance with HACCP is often a legal requirement, especially in regulated industries like food manufacturing and processing. The role of DIN 10524 DIN 10524 is a German standard that outlines hygiene requirements for workwear in the food industry. It supports HACCP implementation by ensuring that garments used in food environments meet specific hygiene and design criteria – such as using easy-to-clean materials, eliminating pockets in high-risk zones, and minimizing seams where bacteria can accumulate. The standard divides workwear into three hygiene risk classes, depending on the risk of food contamination in different environments: Suitable for areas like food storage or packaging of non-perishable foods, where there is minimal contact with food. Designed for environments where unpackaged food is handled, requiring higher hygiene standards. Meets the strictest requirements for work in direct contact with sensitive foods, such as meat or dairy processing. Kentaur’s Commitment to hygiene and safety Our HACCP collection is certified across all three DIN 10524 hygiene risk classes. Each garment is designed to minimize contamination risks with hygienic materials and functional, seamless designs – without compromising on comfort. This makes it easier for businesses to stay compliant with food safety laws while keeping their teams comfortable and productive. Keep in mind that certification applies to the combination of top and bottom garments, not to individual pieces alone. Not all products are suitable for all risk classes, so it is important to select the right garments for your specific environment.

Washing guide Kentaur designs and manufactures work wear that conforms to the user’s requirements as well as the requirements of industrial laundries. We only produce work wear with high quality materials and accessories, and we only supply good, proven and consistent quality that meets the demands of Textile Service. Kentaur does not own its own production facilities, so it is important for us to build strong and trusting relationships with our suppliers and thereby ensure that we are familiar with the entire production chain. We use relatively few and well-known fabric suppliers, as we are confident they can meet our customers' requirements. Kentaur tests all newly sourced fabrics in our own laboratory for e.g. durability, pilling and colour fastness, and it is important for us that our carefully selected materials also function well in the finished product. The industrial laundries are therefore an essential part of our entire approval process in relation to the final selection. For us, it is important that appearance and fit are preserved for as long as possible. We therefore recommend that you follow our laundry instruction.   Please see our washing guides: Garments in 65% polyester/35% cotton Garments in 50-70% cotton/30-50% polyester (cotton rich) Garments with TENCEL™ Lyocell/polyester Garments in polyester Garments in quality 4300

We have never believed in standing still as a state of being. Instead, we continuously challenge the conventional and the common. Always looking at the needs of professional laundries and users with fresh eyes. From new angles. And into new details. When we talk about innovation and progress, we mean serious business. Because we believe in staying at the forefront. Always being steps ahead. Unceasingly attentive to the factors driving the workwear market, now and looking ahead. We want to offer unique designs. Designs that show the effort we put in – all the way through. With us, nothing is left to chance. Every little detail contributes to the whole. Our designs reflect our Scandinavian heritage, where clean lines and simple, timeless cuts form the foundation of our entire range. We need to know the user. To understand the needs of each industry. That’s why we work with focus groups. With people from the industries, we develop clothing for. For them to give us insight into their daily life. And what features their workwear requires to ensure a fulfilling day on the job. Ergonomics and fit are two crucial factors. The clothes must fit – on all kinds of shapes. Therefore, we use our colleagues in the development process. And adjust the clothes according to them. To ensure that everyone wearing Kentaur is wearing it with pride. To ensure comfort, we choose materials that are comfortable against the skin. That lets the skin breathe and regulate body temperature. That are lightweight and thus do not weigh the user down throughout the day. We place pockets where they are easy to reach – without obstructing tasks during the workday. We design cuts in the back and neck areas to enhance flexibility and alleviate pressure. To avoid discomfort and tension and to make the workday more enjoyable. We develop features that make it easy and effortless to work in all kinds of temperatures. That easily can be taken on and off. That do not shift despite workdays with a lot of movement. We think about the environment. And choose new materials based on their impact. To ensure a positive development in our company. And to offer you better alternatives to conventional materials. In short, we are constantly exploring new and smarter ways to create utmost joy and foster growing success. For people at work. Masaaki Minamishima Designer For me, the design process is about creating a fresh and new design that sparks the user's curiosity. A desire to see more. To try the design. It's about creating the perfect balance in the combination of a new detail, a new quality, or a different cut, so the user can still see themselves in the clothes.

At Kentaur, we strive to understand and make a difference for our customers. This is especially true for the Textile Service- and Industrial Laundering industry.  This cornerstone of our business guides every dedicated employee at Kentaur.   Through our standard program and by winning prestigious projects with our Textile Service customers, we have become a strong brand within Europe.   In all our efforts, we strive to be a reliable partner that delivers quality workwear with unique design. Which is why we from the first point of contact to initial design proposal all the way to the end of contract, want to support your business model through:    Product design & development  We design and develop workwear based on our more than 30 years of experience. This experience does not only support the business model of Textile Service companies but also adhere to the wants and needs of the end users.  We source and develop fabrics and accessories to meet the requirements of durability, functionality, look and feel. Ensuring that the workwear last throughout the contract period and the end users continued satisfaction with their workwear and supplier.  Through design and development, we want to not only meet the current requirements of the Textile Service industry but also make workwear for tomorrow. This is for example how we started creating unisex models in double sizes as we understood the economic considerations many of our customers face.    We have successfully incorporated focus groups of end users into our product development. We invite professionals from the segments we develop workwear for. This approach has led to numerous functionalities and details that lighten the wearers’ workday. This is a key step in remaining relevant and innovative.    Testing  Testing is our assurance that the finished product not only meets the requirement of durability but the look and feel as well. Which is why we rigorously test fabrics as well as products before releasing the finished article of workwear. Among the key aspects we evaluate are durability, shrinkage, and color fastness.  Durability is crucial. We conduct thorough abrasion tests to ensure our fabrics can withstand extensive use without compromising their integrity. This involves simulating everyday wash and wear to see how well the material holds up over time.  Shrinkage testing is another vital component of our quality assurance process. We subject our fabrics to various washing and drying cycles to measure how much they shrink. By understanding the shrinkage behavior, we can also provide accurate care instructions and ensure that our products maintain their shape and size throughout their lifespan.  Colorfastness testing ensures that our fabrics retain their vibrant colors even after repeated washing and exposure to sunlight. We perform rigorous tests to check for color bleeding, fading, and resistance to washing agents. This helps us guarantee that our fabrics remain looking fresh and new for as long as possible.  By conducting these comprehensive tests, we can confidently offer high-quality fabrics that meet the demanding needs of our customers. Our commitment to excellence ensures that you receive products that are not only beautiful but also built to last.  Our test efforts would, however, not be possible without our partner laundries. The knowledge and insight we gain throughout the tests and dialog is a vital part of our product development.   Production facilities  With our own production facilities in Poland, we can offer the agility and flexibility our Textile Service customers need. Here, we can react quickly, produce smaller quantities and have the capability to finish stock items in our service center in Poland.     Responsible business model  In all our actions, we strive to maintain a responsible supply chain and conduct ourselves responsibly in close collaboration with partners in the industry and, of course, our customers.  We aim to do more than just comply; we strive to do better.  Kentaur is working on creating circular workwear solutions by developing a take-back solution that keeps products as high up in the waste hierarchy as possible and provides customers with accurate ESG data documentation.   A team of dedicated colleagues focuses exclusively on this important issue ensuring that we actively support collective sustainable development by timely implementing and anchoring the wave of new regulations. We will do more than is legally required of us, becoming the driving force to steer the industry towards a more responsible direction. 

White and colored garments should be separated and classified according to the level of soiling and their color. Polyester/cotton garments must be washed separately from other fiber blends, e.g. 100% cotton or 100% polyester. A) White garments Consult your detergent supplier: In consultation with your detergent supplier, a wash process should be developed to remove the soiling and staining. This should involve the use of a blend of anionic and non-ionic detergents. Soap-based products should not be used, to avoid the formation of scums which cause greying of the garments. Brightening and stain removal: Optical brightening agents can be used to enhance the whiteness if required. Either chlorine or oxygen-type bleaching agents can be used to remove stains; these must be completely removed from the garments (especially chlorine) before the garments are tunnel-finished, to avoid yellowing. Rinsing: There must be sufficient rinsing to remove all chemical residues from the fabric before tunnel finishing. The pH and alkalinity of the garments after rinsing should be checked, not only the rinse water. Softeners: If softeners are used, it must be remembered that excessive softener build-up can contribute to premature damage, like pilling formation or fiber hairiness on fabric surfaces, as well as in some cases causing a yellowing effect. This may affect propensity for soil catching. B) Colored garments Brightening agents: Ved vask af farvet tøj, er brugen af optiske lysningsmidler ikke nødvendig. Hvis de bruges, kan de give et indtryk af farvetab på grund af deres maskerende effekt. Bleaching agents: The use of bleaching agents should be avoided except in exceptional cases as they can affect the colour and have the potential to damage the fabric if not fully removed during rinsing. Bordeaux (401) and dark colors: Bordeaux and dark colors are more susceptible to color bleeding. It is important to allow enough water in pre-washing and main wash to make sure that excess dyestuffs from the dyeing process are dissolved and washed out of the garments before wearing. If excess dyestuffs are still attached to the garment after laundering, it can increase the risk of color bleeding during wear. It is recommended to pre-wash bordeaux and dark colors 2-3 times according to specified temperature in a single washing machine where loading capacity and liquor ratio can be adjusted. Loading capacity: maximum 50% Liqour ratio main wash: minimum 1:5 Liqour ratio rinsing: minimum 1:6 C) General The wash load should be roughly 2/3 of the machine loading capacity to allow sufficient mechanical action and to reduce the chance of creasing. Washing: The washing process can be split into the following stages, depending on the level of soiling: pre-treatment of the garment pre-wash – to remove solid matter so that detergents act on the soiling and staining effectively main wash – at a temperature and pH that reflects the level of soiling bleaching for white garments rinsing – which can include anti-chlorine treatments, softening or other additions.  Caution: To avoid setting creases (thermal shock) when the wash load is being cooled down from temperatures of 50-60°C, the rate of cool-down should not exceed 3-4°C per minute.  It is recommended to have a sufficient rinsing process, when using bleaching and disinfection chemicals in the washing process, to avoid corrosion on metal trims e.g., buttons and zippers. The hydro extraction of the garments should not be excessive, otherwise creases can set in. The extraction should also be set to allow 35-45% water by weight to be left in the garments for optimum tunnel finishing. Press-extraction is not recommended nevertheless if the garments are being press-extracted, the pressure should be kept as low as possible to avoid creasing, breaking of buttons and zippers, and imprinting onto the fabric. Any tumbling to open the press cake should be done at room temperature. Drying: Garments can be dried or finished by tumble drier or tunnel finisher. If they are tumble-dried, the load should only be 65% polyester/35% cotton, otherwise there is a possibility of over-drying, which can cause damage to the garment or shrinkage problems. The tumble-drying cycle should include a cool-down period so that creasing is avoided. If the garments are tunnel-finished, they should be fed into the tunnel finisher separately from other blends and finishes so that efficient drying and finishing takes place. A fabric surface temperature of 130-140°C is adequate for good appearance. Bone-dry garments (garments where no water is left after washing) must not be tunnel finished as this can cause problems such as shrinkage and scorching (change of surface color and texture due to heat).

At Kentaur, our primary objective is to produce workwear that lasts. Our garments are designed to withstand numerous wears and washes before reaching the end of their lifecycle. This commitment to longevity is not just about delivering high-quality products; it is also about minimizing our environmental footprint. By creating items that are resilient and long-lasting, we reduce the consumption of raw materials and the production of textile waste.  However, like all textile products, our garments eventually reach the end of their lifecycle. Rather than discarding them, we believe in giving them a second chance through circularity.  That's why we have partnered up with recycling experts who specialize in transforming textile waste into new fabrics.     CIBUTEX  Founded in 2022 by companies like Blycolin, Dibella, Edelweiss, Lamme, and Nedlin, CIBUTEX is dedicated to promoting circularity in business textiles.  CIBUTEX collaborates closely with upcyclers who require significant quantities of B2B post-consumer waste/resource textiles for their upcycling processes. These textiles must be white and composed of 100% cotton or blends with a maximum of 50% polyester.     Renaissance  Like CIBUTEX, Renaissance also reuses our white cotton and polyester textile waste. In 2024, we sent the first cutting waste from production in Poland to Renaissance and are planning to send more in the future.   While not all our garments can be reused through CIBUTEX and Renaissance, we are proud to contribute to the circular economy in every way we can. Moreover, we will continue to work on finding solutions for our colored textiles.     Fabric Cutting waste   Although we aim to use as much of our fabrics as possible when creating new products, we still produce pre-consumer waste in the production process. To make sure that our cutting waste is used in new ways, we collaborate with:    Rester  Rester recycles both post- and pre-consumer waste. The company recovers fibers and turns them into new fibers or various non-woven materials, such as insulation, acoustic panels, and filter fabrics, as well as composite.   In addition to our collaboration with recycling specialists, we are continuously seeking other alternatives to help minimize waste. For instance, we have created bags and other merchandise from discarded fabrics, and aprons and outdoor jackets from cutting scraps. We have passed on discarded fabrics to companies like Vær and Amolia, who have utilized these materials in their production to create shoes and toiletry bags. Moreover, we have donated products, including fabrics, to nonprofit organizations like the Red Cross.    There is still a long road ahead, but our drive to minimize waste and push the industry forward never wavers. At Kentaur, we are sewing the seeds of a more sustainable future, one stitch at a time. 

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, comfort is key. Especially when it comes to the comfort of your workwear. Our ergonomic neck design was developed with this aspect in mind. Tested by the Hohenstein Laboratories and approved by a focus group, our design alleviates the daily discomfort often caused by workwear. By relieving the C7 cervical vertebra, our design can reduce discomfort such as headaches, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as numbness in arms and hands. This is particularly advantageous in healthcare- or other industries where tools need to be accessed quickly but can cause discomfort due to pressure on the neck when wearing them in the pockets of your top.  Our ergonomic neck design is a solution that evenly distributes weight across the entire upper body, thus reducing neck strain. And since it's a patented design exclusively developed by Kentaur, you can be sure you're getting a unique and reliable solution for your needs.

The abbreviation for responsibility is ESG. We live in a world with increasing social and environmental challenges. Therefore, it is crucial for us as a company to focus on sustainability. We not only understand our obligations - we act on them. Our collaboration with production sites is based on a selected number of suppliers with strong relationships. This enables us to guarantee our customers thoroughly tested and consistent quality. Similarly, our clothing is designed for long life. Through close dialogue with our suppliers and customers, we ensure that our production takes place under responsible working conditions, thereby enhancing sustainability.

For us, it is essential to choose just the right materials for our workwear. Our demands go beyond color and pattern. We also place a high value on the material's environmental footprint, its quality, and its suitability for handling by industrial laundries.  We aim to create workwear that brings joy to the user for a long time. Workwear that is put on with a smile and worn frequently in various work situations. That supports the natural workflow with smart, innovative cuts and features. Thus, the choice of material plays a crucial role.  We ensure the best qualities by testing the materials we select. In our tests, we assess aspects such as abrasion resistance, color fastness, and durability. Our workwear must maintain its shape and color – for as long as possible.  To ensure a quality that can be handled by laundries, we also send our materials to be tested by them. This way, together, we can determine whether the material can be included in regular washing procedures.  We only choose to use materials in our production that have passed all our tests. Thus, you can feel confident that choosing Kentaur means choosing an enduring quality. At work.   At Kentaur, you can find workwear in various materials. Get an overview of them below.    Our Choice Materials Our Choice Materials encompasses materials we have hand selected due to their characteristics. Whether it be innovation, circularity, social and/or environmental impact. In other words, it is materials that go beyond the conventional. And they are our recommendation to you.   TENCEL™ Lyocell   TENCEL™ Lyocell is known for its innovative closed-loop production process. Wood pulp is transformed into cellulosic fibers, while more than 99.8% of the solvents are recovered and fed back into the loop, resulting in close-to-zero wastage. According to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (Higg MSI), TENCEL™ Lyocell has a significantly lower environmental impact than generic lyocell in the categories of abiotic depletion of fossil fuels (up to 39%), global warming (up to 53%), water consumption (up to 69%) and eutrophication (up to 60%).    TENCEL™ Lyocell x REFIBRA™ Technology   To produce TENCEL™ Lyocell with REFRIBA™ Technology, wood and cotton textile waste are used as raw materials. The fibers contain a minimum of 30% recycled materials. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers with REFRIBA™ Technology offer the same benefits as standard TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers. Like TENCEL™, REFIBRA™ is also a trademark of Lenzing AG.    Better Cotton  Kentaur is a proud member of the Better Cotton Initiative. With our membership, we have committed ourselves to improving global cotton cultivation. Better Cotton operates as a mass-balance system. Hence, purchasing a product with the Better Cotton logo is not a guarantee that the product itself contains cotton from Better Cotton-certified farming. However, by buying a product with sourced Better Cotton, you contribute to a more sustainable production ofcotton.  Many of our cotton-containing products are made with cotton obtained via the Better Cotton initiative. However, we only mark products with the Better Cotton logo when cotton is the dominant material in the product.  If you want to learn more about Better Cotton, visit bettercotton.org/ massbalance. We are committed to sourcing 50% of our cotton as Better Cotton by 2025.   REPREVE® recycled polyester (rPES)  REPREVE® is polyester made from used PET bottles. REPREVE® works to create a cycle where waste is recycled.  We are looking for alternatives to recycled polyester from PET bottles as these bottles should be recycled in a closed loop, becoming new PET bottles and not turned into textile fibers. Nevertheless, recycled polyester from PET bottles has a lower environmental impact than virgin polyester. Therefore, Kentaur will continue to use recycled polyester from PET bottles until there is a better solution for us on the market. Finding a suitable alternative to recycled polyester from PET bottles is an ongoing development project.   Materials with recycled textiles  Our materials with recycled textiles contain recycled textile fibers from pre- and/or post-consumer textiles. Pre-consumer textiles are textile waste from production, while post-consumer textiles are textiles that have been worn out in their current form. The material quality is developed for industrial laundries, ensuring good durability and colorfastness. The percentage of recycled material in the fabrics can vary from style to style. If you want to know the precise percentage of recycled material, you can always find this information on the individual product.    Conventional materials Cotton (CO)  Cotton is a soft natural fiber, and absorbs moisture well, giving it a high comfort level. In addition, cotton is very hard wearing, only superseded by synthetic fibers, and thus it is ideal in blends with polyester when a durable, hard-wearing material is required.    Polyester (PES)  Polyester is the most widely used synthetic fiber. When it is blended with cotton, the optimal mix is 65% PES / 35% CO regarding durability and suitability for washing. Polyester enhances the PES/CO blend with qualities such as strength, minimal shrinkage, crease resistance and short drying time. This makes PES/CO blends highly suitable for workwear.    EOL, EME, elastane & mechanical stretch  Many of our qualities are stretch fabrics, as elasticity increases comfort. It is important to ensure high recovery, so that elasticity and comfort are maintained throughout the product’s lifetime. As a rule, Kentaur uses stretch fabrics in which elasticity is achieved through firmly spun yarns and the weaving technique (mechanical stretch/natural stretch) or elastic fibers which can withstand washing in industrial laundries without losing elasticity.    Types of weaving Twill  Twill is a weave characterized by the distinctive slanting stripes, known from the denim fabric used for jeans. The twill construction produces a structured surface and a supple fabric. Many of Kentaur’s fabrics are twill, because this fabric is good for pants, upper parts, and aprons.    Plain & panama  Plain weave is the simplest weave. It is the same on the right side and the reverse side, firm and stable, and produces a strong fabric. Plain weave is normally used for the lighter products such as shirts and functional shirts. Panama is derived from the plain weave, but there are fewer binding points, which produces a softer and more supple fabric. Panama is normally woven in thicker yarns, which combines with the weave to produce a smart structured surface. Panama is used for aprons in Kentaur’s collection.    Pique  Pique is a knitted construction that is known from polo shirts. At Kentaur pique is used in garments in our HoReCa & Retail and Healthcare & Service segments. Knitted fabrics generally increase the comfort for the wearer since they have greater elasticity and allow greater freedom of movement than woven fabrics.  We collaborate with different producers to ensure that pique fabrics can be washed in accordance with ISO 15797 and meet requirements for stability of shape and color fastness.    Dyeing  For Textile Service, good color fastness is important, and the greater part of Kentaur’s collection is therefore vat dyed. Vat dyes give the best achievable color fastness to light, weather and washing, and furthermore, they withstand bleaches better than other dyes, ensuring that Kentaur products can be handled according to ISO 15797 and a variety of hygiene standards.

We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use your personal data and meeting our data protection obligations. As a controller, we collect and process personal data about you when we handle your job application and during the recruiting process. 1.2 This Policy is prepared and made available to you to comply with the (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679 of 27 April 2016) (”GDPR”).   Types of personal data we process about you 2.1 We process personal data about you when this is necessary and in accordance with the applicable legislation. Depending on the specific circumstances, the processed personal data include the following types of personal data: name, address, phone number, email address, CV, profile picture, educational documents, references from former employers, IQ and/or personality tests, information from social media that is publicly available and relevant. 2.2 We do not process sensitive personal data, i.e., the special categories of personal data, as defined in GDPR, Article 9(1). 2.3 As a general rule, we only collect personal data about you directly from you. If specific circumstances allow or require us to collect personal data about you from third parties, we will only do so when relevant and to the extent necessary. We will inform you hereof, which may be done by updating this Policy. If relevant and after agreement with you, we can collect references from your former employers as well as from publicly available sources, such as your LinkedIn-profile thereby collecting personal data about you from third parties. 2.4 If we need to collect more personal data than what is specified above, we will inform about this. Such information may be provided by updating this Policy.   Purposes for processing the personal data 3.1 The personal data we collect about you are processed for the following purposes: To process job applications and recruit relevant candidates.   Legal basis for processing personal data 4.1 We only process your personal data when we have a legal basis to do so in accordance with the GDPR. Depending on the specific circumstances, the processing of personal data is done on the following legal bases: If we have asked for your consent to process some specific personal data, the legal basis for the processing of such personal data is your consent, in accordance with GDPR, Article 6(1)(a). You can always withdraw your consent by contacting us via the contact details provided at the end of this Policy. If the consent is withdrawn, the personal data processed on the basis of your consent will be deleted, unless it can or must be processed, for example, to comply with legal obligations.

We always retain personal data to the extent that we have a legal obligation, such as for example in the case of accounting and bookkeeping materials and records. If you are offered a position and become an employee in the Organization, your personal data from the job application and data from the recruiting process are transferred/moved to our regular HR management system. If you are not offered a position in the Organization, your personal data is erased after 6 months in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, specific reasons related to employment law may necessitate the continuous processing of personal data. This may have different implications. For example, we may process the applications for a longer period to prove that there was no unlawful discrimination in the selection process when we consider this necessary. Similarly, it may be relevant to process the personal data for a limited period if a similar relevant position may become available during this period, or if another candidate opts out of the recruiting process. If you have any questions about our retention of your personal data, please contact us by using the email mentioned under the last section of this Policy. 6.2 If you consent to a longer retention period, we follow such period, for example, if we process the job application in such a limited period to be able to contact you again in case of a suitable vacancy.   Your rights as a data subject 7.1 As a data subject under GDPR, you have a number of rights: 7.1.1 You have the right to request access to the personal data we process about you, the purposes we process the personal data, and whether we disclose or transfer your personal data to others. 7.1.2 You have the right to have incorrect information rectified. 7.1.3 You have the right to have certain personal data deleted. 7.1.4 You may have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data. 7.1.5 You may have the right to object to our processing of your personal data based on reasons and circumstances that pertain to your particular situation. 7.1.6 You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated means, without human interference unless the decision is necessary for your employment, the decision has a legal basis, or is based on your explicit consent. 7.1.7 If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you are entitled to withdraw such consent at any time. Withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to your withdrawal of consent. 7.1.8 You are entitled to receive personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (data portability). 7.1.9 You can always lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. 7.2 Your rights may be subject to conditions or restrictions.

Kentaur delivers record financial results Danish workwear company Kentaur has achieved the strongest financial results in its history, reporting a revenue of DKK 363 million and a net profit of DKK 31 million. This milestone reflects strategic investments in product development, enhanced logistics capabilities, and a stronger local presence across several European markets. Kentaur, which supplies light workwear to sectors such as healthcare, catering, and the hospitality industry, has seen growth on nearly all fronts. With a revenue of DKK 363 million and a net result of DKK 31 million, the company sets a record – cementing its position as a strong player in an evolving market. This progress is the result of a focused effort across the organization, with particular emphasis on innovation and expansion with existing customers throughout Europe. “It is with great pleasure that the board has signed off on the annual report. We are gaining market share in a consolidating market and are successfully growing existing customers across European markets. We have launched strong, design-protected product innovations that position us well in the market – and which customers have responded to very positively,” says Christian Beirholm, Partner and Commercial Director at Kentaur. Logistics and production close to customers strengthen the business Behind the strong 2024 results is an efficient value chain, where both logistics and production play key roles. In particular, the geographic setup close to European customers has proven to be a crucial factor. “We are seeing solid development across the entire value chain. Our logistics and warehouse setup in Poland has just celebrated its five-year anniversary, and we are pleased to see that our production in Serbia confirms that being close to our European customers makes a difference. Short delivery times and flexibility in quantities and sizes are essential to delivering value to end customers,” says Mette Gordon Vallentin, CFOO at Kentaur. Strong unity and clear direction for the future The financial results mark an important milestone for Kentaur and come after a generational transition on the company’s board. “Naturally, it is bittersweet that we cannot celebrate this with Bernt Dahl, who passed away last year. But as an organization, we stand strong and continue the good work. We are pleased that Marco Dahl has now joined the board. It is wonderful to show him that we are carrying on where his father left off – and that we know exactly what it takes to ensure happy customers and strong partnerships. The plan for Kentaur is in place, and we will continue to execute on the strategy to grow the business,” says Mie Krog, CEO of Kentaur. In 2025, Kentaur aims to increase both revenue and profitability by deepening relationships with existing customers and expanding into new markets. Strategic priorities include continued product development and a more structured approach to ESG, focusing on responsible production, supplier management, and employee well-being.

To ensure efficiency and competitive prices, we are closing our factory in Serbia and consolidating production with our other existing suppliers. Kentaur has decided to adjust its production setup as part of a long-term effort to strengthen efficiency and maintain competitive prices. This means that the company will close its factory in Serbia and move production to its other established manufacturing partners. “This has not been an easy decision, but it is necessary to strengthen Kentaur in the long term. Over the past years, we have worked consistently to optimise our production and maintain efficiency throughout the entire value chain. With this change, we ensure that our customers continue to receive the quality and delivery reliability they expect from Kentaur,” says Mie Krog, CEO of Kentaur. The relocation is a natural part of Kentaur’s ongoing work to optimise processes and strengthen cooperation with strategic suppliers. “We are making this change to ensure that we can continue to deliver our products at stable prices. It is about creating a solid production foundation that matches our ambitions and our customers’ needs,” Mie Krog emphasises. At the same time, Kentaur is committed to handling the transition with care and consideration for the employees affected by the factory closure. “It is never easy to make a decision that has human consequences. We are affected by the situation for the employees who are impacted, and we are deeply grateful for their efforts and commitment over the years,” says Mie Krog. With this change, Kentaur continues to focus on efficiency, quality and responsible operations with attention to customers, employees and the company’s future development.
