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.

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.

At Kentaur, we believe that responsibility starts with understanding impact. Through our responsibility strategy, Our Choice, we work systematically with the decisions that shape our products, from the materials we select to the way they are produced.A key part of this work is the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). PEF is an EU methodology that helps us measure the environmental impact of our products across different stages of their life cycle. By working with PEF, we aim to provide transparent information about environmental impact so our customers can make informed choices.However, PEF results can be complex. While we can measure impact up to the point of distribution, the use phase also plays a significant role in the total environmental footprint of a product. How a product is used, washed and how long it lasts has a clear influence on its overall impact.In practice, this means that durability and frequency of use matter. A product with a higher impact during production may have a lower impact over time if it lasts longer and is used more frequently than an alternative.Understanding this perspective is important when interpreting PEF results. Looking only at materials or production does not always show the full picture of a product’s environmental performance.At the same time, measurement remains essential. By assessing and comparing key indicators such as greenhouse gas emissions, water use and land use, PEF provides a foundation for better decisions and continuous improvement.Our key environmental impact indicatorsProduct Environmental Footprint assessments measure many different environmental indicators. To make the results easier to understand, we highlight the indicators that are most relevant to our products and supply chain.These indicators reflect areas where textile production typically has a significant impact and where measurement provides meaningful insight into environmental performance.Because our workwear is produced using both natural and synthetic fibres, water use, land use and climate impact are particularly important factors. We also include indicators that measure how chemical substances and nutrient emissions can affect ecosystems and biodiversity.These are the five indicators that are also presented on our product pages to help make environmental impact easier to understand and compare. How we measure environmental impactTo calculate the environmental impact of our products, we work with Made2Flow, a specialist in Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) assessments for the textile industry. Together, we assess the impact of our products from raw material extraction to the delivery of our workwear to customers.The calculations are based on data from our supply chain where available. This is supplemented with verified industry data from comparable textile supply chains. Using this combined dataset, Made2Flow calculates the environmental impact of each product across the relevant stages of its life cycle.The methodology follows the international ISO 14040 standard and the European Commission’s PEFCR guidelines. This ensures the results are calculated using recognised methods and can be compared across products.The data foundation includes both primary and secondary data. Around 84 percent is primary data collected directly from our own supply chain. The remaining data consists of validated secondary datasets that represent typical processes within the textile industry.

Responsibility is part of how we develop, produce and document our workwear at Kentaur. Our approach is structured through our strategy Our Choice, which brings together our work with materials, product development, supply chain transparency and working conditions.We work with environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics, covering our impact on the environment, people and how we conduct our business.Through documentation, transparency and collaboration with suppliers and customers, we work continuously to improve how our products are made and used.Below you can explore the key areas that structure our work with responsibility.

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.

Our Choice is Kentaur’s framework for how we work with responsibility across our products, supply chains and operations. The strategy brings together several focus areas, including due diligence in the supply chain, circular solutions, material selection, environmental impact data and compliance with upcoming EU legislation. The expectations for transparency and documentation in the textile industry are increasing, and so are the risks of misleading communication. At Kentaur, we therefore aim to communicate clearly and responsibly about our work, focusing on documented initiatives rather than broad claims. Below you can explore the different elements of the Our Choice strategy and see how we work with responsibility in practice.

At Kentaur, choosing the right materials is essential to creating workwear that performs in demanding professional environments. Our requirements go beyond color and appearance. We focus on durability, comfort, and performance in industrial laundering. Every material is carefully tested to ensure it meets our standards for quality, performance, and long-term use. This helps ensure that our workwear maintains its shape, color, and functionality over time. Some materials stand out because of their innovative properties, circular potential, or the way they address social and environmental conditions in textile production. These are what we call Our Choice Materials. How we choose materials Material choice plays a key role in creating workwear that performs reliably in everyday professional use. Before a material is included in our collection, it undergoes thorough testing to ensure it meets our requirements for durability, color fastness, and overall performance. Our workwear must maintain its shape, color, and functionality over time. Because many of our products are used in environments where industrial laundering is standard practice, materials must also withstand frequent washing. We therefore test selected fabrics in collaboration with professional laundries to ensure they perform reliably within regular washing procedures. Only materials that meet our requirements for quality, durability, and wash performance are used in our production. Our Choice Materials Some materials offer characteristics that make them particularly interesting in the development of future workwear. These may include innovative production methods, the use of recycled resources, or initiatives that address social and environmental conditions in textile production. We group these materials under Our Choice Materials. They represent materials that go beyond the conventional and reflect our approach to responsibility and continuous development. No material is without impact. Selecting Our Choice Materials does not automatically guarantee a lower impact for the finished product. However, careful material selection is an important step in our ongoing effort to develop workwear designed to last. The materials below are currently part of our Our Choice Materials selection. Conventional Materials In addition to Our Choice Materials, our collections also include a range of well-established textile materials. These materials are selected for their durability, comfort, and suitability for professional environments and industrial laundering.

Comfy Fit is an innovative collection designed with specific ergonomic benefits for healthcare professionals. The tops feature our ”Ergonomic Neckline,” a design-protected cut in the neck region that has been tested by the Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute and a focus group and is exclusively available at Kentaur. This cut relieves the cervical vertebra C7 from potential pressure, reducing the risk of headaches, neck pain, and numbness in the shoulders, arms, and fingers. The material of the Comfy Fit collection consists of TENCEL™ Lyocell blended with polyester. TENCEL™ Lyocell is part of Our Choice Materials as it is made from wood pulp transformed into into cellulosic fibers. The material offers great comfort through its moisture-absorbing benefits, preventing bacterial formation and the fabric dries quickly after washing. Comfy Fit combines style, functionality, and ergonomic benefits to meet the needs of the healthcare sector, making it a perfect solution for professionals in the industry.

At Kentaur, our products are made through a multi-step textile supply chain. From raw materials to finished garments, several specialised suppliers are involved in the process. To provide transparency into how our products are made, we map the different tiers of suppliers involved in our production. Below you can see an overview of the supplier levels in the Kentaur supply chain.

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.

At Kentaur, we never see design as something that stands still. We continuously challenge conventions and look at workwear with fresh eyes. Always from the perspective of the people who wear it and the laundries that handle it every day. Innovation and progress are not buzzwords for us. They are part of how we work. We stay close to the industries we serve and constantly explore how workwear can perform better today and tomorrow. Our ambition is to create workwear that combines function, durability and design. Nothing is left to chance. Every detail contributes to the whole. Our design philosophy reflects our Scandinavian heritage, where clean lines, thoughtful details and timeless cuts form the foundation of our collections. 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. Designing for people. At work. To design great workwear, we need to understand the people who wear it. That is why we work with focus groups from the industries we develop for. Their insight into everyday work helps us understand what truly matters in workwear. What works. What does not. And what can be improved. Ergonomics and fit are essential. Workwear must fit many different body types and support movement throughout the day. During development we test our designs internally and adjust them continuously to ensure the best possible fit and comfort. Material selection also plays a key role. We choose fabrics that feel comfortable against the skin, allow the body to breathe and remain lightweight throughout long workdays. Functionality is integrated into every design decision. Pockets are placed where they are easy to reach without getting in the way. Cuts and constructions support flexibility and reduce pressure in areas such as the back and neck. We also develop features that make it easier to work in changing conditions. Garments that are easy to put on and take off. Designs that stay in place during active workdays. At the same time, we continuously explore materials and solutions with lower impact, always looking for better alternatives as part of our ongoing development. In short, we are always looking for smarter ways to design workwear that supports people in their daily work. Made for people. At work.

Designed for comfort that lasts. The Crossback apron features an ergonomic fit that distributes weight across the upper body to reduce neck strain and discomfort. Ideal for professionals who carry tools or gear in their pockets throughout the day. Available in multiple designs and colors to suit any role and workplace.

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.

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.

When it comes to food safety, wearing certified clothing is not just about picking the right pants or the right jacket. It is about choosing the right combination – and that is exactly what DIN 10524 is designed to assess. At Kentaur, we often get asked whether individual garments are certified. The answer is: not on their own. According to the DIN 10524 standard, certification applies to the complete outfit – typically a top and bottom worn together – and not to individual items in isolation. How certification works The certification process is carried out by recognized institutions like Hohenstein Laboratories GmbH & Co. KG, which test both the outer fabric and the finished clothing combination for compliance with DIN 10524 requirements. Here is how it is done: The outer fabric is tested for hygienic properties such as cleanability, durability, and suitability for food production environments. The finished garment combination – such as pants and a coat – is assessed as a whole to ensure the design supports hygiene, minimizes contamination risks, and performs well under real working conditions. Certificates of conformity can be issued separately for the outer fabric and the ready-made garment, depending on what is tested. A full DIN 10524 risk class compliance (1, 2, and/or 3) is only ensured when both components are certified and used together as a tested combination. What this means when choosing workwear The certificate of conformity is a valuable tool when selecting workwear for food processing environments. It helps businesses ensure they are outfitting staff with garments that meet hygiene standards and pose minimal contamination risk. Because certification applies to specific clothing combinations, it is important to choose items that have been tested and approved together. Not every top goes with every bottom – so relying on certified pairings is key. See our certified workwear combinations To make this process easier, we have clearly listed all certified workwear combinations. This allows customers to choose confidently, knowing the full outfit meets the standard for their specific hygiene risk class.
