Raw Bib Apron in new colors
Raw Bib Apron in new colors For customers, choosing the color of their apron is more than just a practical decision – it is a way to express their personality and preferences. Some prefer bold and vibrant colors. Others may prefer muted and soothing tones with soft earthy hues like sand natural or gray. We have expanded the color palette of our RAW aprons with 2 beautiful colors by adding French Blue and Bottle Green to the lineup. These two bold colors can liven up spaces and evoke a positive atmosphere whether in a café, restaurant, kitchen, or grocery store. However, for most people, the functionality of the apron is also crucial. Ultimately, the choice of apron is a personal decision depending on individual taste, mood, and usage. Our popular Raw apron is not just a simple garment – it is a versatile tool for kitchen and service professionals. With its innovative 2-in-1 function, it effortlessly transforms from a bib apron to a practical bistro apron as needed and situation demands. But that is not all it has to offer. Featuring a pen pocket and a side pocket, it is perfectly organized to keep essential tools always within reach. The barista strap is a sophisticated detail for coffee experts and professionals behind the counter, while the loop for a name tag adds a professional touch. The durable quality of our Raw apron not only provides protection but also style. Its rough texture gives it a casual look that works well in both kitchen and service areas. The material consists of 60 % cotton mixed with 40 % polyester. This blend results in a highly durable material yet doesn't compromise on comfort. The material is also VAT dyed, ensuring color fastness even after multiple washes.

Workwear matters. To the celebrated Chef de Cuisine and the busy waiter. To the dedicated clinic employee and the compassionate healthcare assistant. And to most other people at work. Therefore, since 1990, Kentaur has focused on creating workwear that, in addition to looking good, is also comfortable and functional, down to the smallest detail – giving you workwear you actually enjoy wearing.

Design
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.

Value for Textile Service
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 Serbia and 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.

Our Choice
At Kentaur, we are conscious of how we communicate about our sustainable initiatives and guide you towards products that contain more sustainable materials and/or are produced in a more responsible manner. We admit that it's not easy. The downfalls of greenwashing are numerous, the documentation requirements are high, and the risk of providing misleading information is significant. We strive to be ethical, sincere, and transparent throughout the entire supply chain and towards our customers and the end users of our workwear. We aim to avoid the common clichés when describing our work, as they tend to confuse and mislead. We actively support the collective sustainable development by implementing and embedding the wave of new legislation well in advance. We aim to go beyond what is legally required of us, thereby driving the industry towards a more sustainable direction. It has been, and continues to be, an enlightening journey for us to communicate our work with responsible production and materials. How do we guide you without misleading? On this journey, we receive advice from companies like The Textile Revolution, which provide us with the necessary support and help to act ethically in our communication and guidance. Beyond Responsible Choice Years ago, we labeled all products containing more responsible materials and/or relevant certifications with a green Sustainable Kentaur-logo. We realized this could be perceived as misleading, so we decided to remove the logo and change the wording to Responsible Choice on the respective products. All in an effort to better guide you in your selection of workwear. However, today even the term Responsible Choice is considered misleading if we are not very specific about what makes the product a more responsible choice compared to products made from conventional materials. We want to be specific, but we also want to make it easy for you to quickly identify the product that is a more responsible choice. Our Choice Therefore, we introduce Our Choice. Our Choice is the umbrella concept for our work with CSR and sustainability. It replaces both our Work Wear and Care-concept and the Responsible Choice-label on products. Our Choice encompasses our work within: Circularity EU legislation Responsible product development 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. Our Choice Materials replaces the previous classifications but evolves as new and innovative alternatives to conventional textile materials enter the market. Currently, the materials classified as Our Choice Materials include: TENCEL™ Lyocell TENCEL™ Lyocell x REFIBRA™ Recycled polyester and recycled cotton from post-consumer textiles Certified recycled polyester from post-consumer PET bottles, GRS certified or Unifi REPREVE® Mass-balance sourced Better Cotton Our Choice Materials does not secure a lower impact of the finished product itself as there are other parameters that need to be addressed as well. Therefore, these materials are not a miracle cure and inherently have a negative impact. The current Our Choice Materials are thus only a step in our journey. And we are more than happy to share our knowledge on product impact based on life cycle assessments. Want to find products with Our Choice Materials?

Responsible product development
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. Read more about our colors here.
Circularity
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.
Snap-On
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.
EU legislation
At Kentaur, we do not just follow the rules. We strive to stay a step ahead and exceed expectations. We stay informed about new regulations and requirements, so you can get assistance and guidance if you have questions about new EU regulation or other industry-related matters. Together, we can move the industry in a more responsible direction. We keep ourselves updated on European Green Deal initiatives before they come into effect. This ensures we are prepared to meet your compliance needs while taking steps such as upgrading our IT infrastructure to handle the data you will require. In 2024, we are focusing on the following: Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) We are conducting our first Double Materiality Assessment and Gap Analysis while preparing to collect data for reporting. In 2026, we will report for the first time using 2025 data. EcoDesign Directive (ESPR) We have initiated a cross-disciplinary project group to ensure all products meet the minimum ESPR requirements. Subsequently, we will update our design process and optimize our product range according to the incentive structure embedded in ESPR. Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (EPR) We have partnered with a collective scheme, European Recycling Platform, which has branches in all EU countries, to ensure efficient and streamlined EPR reporting in compliance with national regulations. We have established a project group to assess all our packaging and explore ways to increase recycling rates and achieve a higher environmental rating. Digital Product Passport (DPP) Although the textile industry is not required to comply with DPP until 2027, we have already started the process, as this adaptation requires a new approach to data and traceability. We aim to be ahead of the curve, ensuring we provide accurate, agile, and up-to-date data in good time before DPP obligations come into effect. Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) We are working on calculating PEF-compliant life cycle assessments for all products, enabling you to compare the environmental footprint of our products. This data is crucial in understanding each product's environmental impact before the usage phase and selecting those with the least impact. It is important to remember that the usage phase is a major factor in the impact level. Therefore, we design all workwear with durability in mind, so you can use the clothing as long as possible, thus reducing environmental impact. Green Claims At Kentaur, we are very mindful of how we communicate about our sustainability initiatives and guide you toward products that contain more sustainable materials and/or are produced more responsibly. We acknowledge that it's not easy. The downfalls of greenwashing are numerous, the documentation requirements are high, and the risk of misleading is significant. We aim to be ethical, sincere, and transparent throughout the supply chain and towards our customers and end users of our workwear. Therefore, we introduce Our Choice. Our Choice replaces the Work Wear and Care-concept and Responsible Choice. It serves as a collective term for our work with CSR, sustainability, and a way to help you search for products. We do not claim that Our Choice is a better option, but it covers a range of products that contain sustainable materials or are produced more responsibly. Want to know more about the materials? Read more here. Focus Areas for 2025 Beyond the above initiatives in 2024, we are already looking further ahead. The next steps include: Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) Even though we are not directly subject to the directive, we will still comply with its rules and frameworks to be able to assist you. EU Taxonomy In 2025, we will also work with EU Taxonomy, so we are ready to report on this area from 2027. Textile Labeling Regulation We are closely following the development of the EU’s work on Textile Labeling Regulation and continually adjusting our efforts. Due Diligence Last but certainly not least, we will continue our efforts to ensure that none of our products are produced under forced labor. Today, our due diligence processes already go to great lengths to ensure that forced labor is not part of our supply chain. In 2025, we will expand our efforts and examine how we can further strengthen our backup complaint mechanisms to ensure they are truly accessible to all members of our supply chain.
Due diligence
At Kentaur, we take our commitment to corporate due diligence seriously. This critical process helps us identify, prevent, mitigate, and be accountable for potential and actual social and environmental impacts throughout our supply chain. Our approach to due diligence is shaped by internationally recognized guidelines, including the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector, the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles, and the SME Compass by Agency for Business and Economic Development. We have crafted a systematic and structured approach that enables us to thoroughly analyze and manage risks in our supply chain. This work is vital as it covers both our internal operations and our broader supply chain. Since the landscape of risks can shift with the evolution of our business practices and operational context, our due diligence efforts are continuously active and adapting. In everything we do, we consider the social and environmental risks associated with our products, our business model, our sourcing practices, and the regions in which we operate. Adhering to our Responsible Sourcing Policy and guided by our Code of Ethics ensures that our actions are grounded in responsibility and transparency. Our risk management framework is dynamic and based on the severity and likelihood of potential harms reviewed and updated at least annually. This comprehensive evaluation covers a spectrum of concerns from human rights to labor rights, environmental impact, and anti-corruption, assessing 18 different parameters. We strategically prioritize our actions based on these risk assessments, and the scale of our purchasing decisions influences how we prioritize risks in our supply chain. This structured vigilance ensures we not only meet but exceed standards, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to ethical practices and the well-being of our global community. Risk Management Living wage The issue of living wages is a subject of ongoing debate within Kentaur, reflecting a persistent challenge in the textile sector. We risk contributing to socially negative impacts in our supply chain if the remuneration of the production employees is not equal to the wage needed for decent living in their specific region. At our own production sites, we have a wage system. It contains three wage levels that ensure that all employees’ competencies and efficiency get rewarded and that their remuneration reflects the value of their work. We use dialogue, third-party amfori BSCI audits, and OEKO-TEX® STeP audits for external monitoring of fair remuneration at our own- and suppliers' production sites. In case of deviations, the supplier must make a corrective action plan (CAP) to remediate the deviation. We follow up on the CAP through dialogue with the suppliers. In 2023, we made a corporate strategy to achieve living wages at production sites. We attended the 8th UN Global Compact European Business and Human Rights meeting. The main topic was living wages. We also applied to be part of the UN Global Compact Business and Human Rights Accelerator program that started in 2024. Environmental impact of input materials Our LCA studies and climate accounting display that the production of textile materials has a tremendous negative environmental impact. We do not know the specific environmental impact measured on materials and products in the development phase. This means that we cannot state for sure that we make the least impactful decisions when developing new products. Today, we have a tool that estimates global warming potential, water consumption, and land use on our materials and products. To enhance our efforts in preparing for the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF), we have found a partner who enables us to continuously measure the impact of all our products in a transparent, trustworthy, and straightforward manner. Supply chain grievance mechanism & remediation Our due diligence efforts intend to identify, prevent, and mitigate potential harm before turning into adverse impacts. Potentially, the risk of harm can become an actual impact. Via our business and purchasing mechanisms, we take responsibility for potential and actual social and environmental adverse impacts we might have caused or contributed to. We encourage our supply chain to notify us about eventual grievances through our supply chain grievance mechanism. A description of our grievance mechanism and remediation process can be found in our Supply Chain Grievance Mechanism and Remediation Process description. See our Code of Ethics. In 2023, we added a whistleblower scheme managed and operated by an independent third party, PWC. Read more on about the whistleblower scheme. With all our initiatives and projects, we strive to ensure that we always adhere to our due diligence. This way, both we as a company and you as a customer can always maintain a clear conscience. At work.

Annual Report
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.

Circular Touch aprons
Circular Touch aprons We aim to close the loop. To extend the life of textiles by reusing them for the production of new items. This way, we can limit the use of new raw materials and minimize our impact. The first step towards a circular economy has now been taken with our Circular Touch aprons. Aprons made from mechanically recycled cotton and polyester from textiles that have reached the end of their first life cycle. The recycled material constitutes 15 % of the fabric. The aprons come in designs you are already familiar with. Thus, only the fabric is new. In addition, we have attached a small label at the bottom of the aprons so you can clearly see that the aprons contain recycled materials. For us, it has always been crucial to use materials that are suitable for industrial laundering. So that users can enjoy our items for a long time – even after several washes. Therefore, we are very pleased that after a long search, we have now found a material that meets our requirements for high durability, colorfastness, and longevity. And that contains recycled materials. When you choose our Circular Touch aprons, you are choosing a better alternative compared to aprons made exclusively from new fiber materials.
Colors
At Kentaur, we understand that colors can be essential when choosing new workwear. Colors play a significant role not only in reflecting a company's identity but also in the impression one wishes to convey and the feelings one wants to evoke. That's why we offer a wide range of colors to help you find the right one. With our unique color palette, multiple teams can easily choose the same model in different colors, creating a sense of unity while giving each group its distinctive touch. For us, colors are not just colors. We select our fabrics based on colors that are colorfast and do not fade with washing. Therefore, we use only the best dyes for our garments, as quality and durability are central elements of our product development. You can expect vibrant and lasting colors thanks to two main types of dyeing processes: Reactive dyed This method uses reactive and dispersion dyes to ensure clear and vivid colors. This technique is ideal for those who want to avoid using bleaching agents and desire bright colors. VAT dyed Ideal for cellulose fibers like cotton and Lyocell. This method ensures the best color fastness and resists fading much better than other dyeing methods. It is the preferred technique for those who value durability and long-lasting color intensity. Our colors stand not only for aesthetics—they represent our commitment to innovation and quality. Whether it's the pure white for chefs, the vibrant green for healthcare professionals, or the bold red for the service staff, Kentaur ensures that each color not only looks good but also remains beautiful wash after wash. Choosing Kentaur means opting not just for workwear but for a promise of quality, durability, and a color palette that lets you and your team truly shine. Explore our colors and see how we can help bring a little more color into your day. At work
Kentaur visits supply chain in China
For us, it is important to know our supply chain. All the way down to the raw material producers. Not just from afar, but also in person. That's why our Sustainability and Compliance Specialist, Katja Dam Kristensen, and our Textile and Sustainability Specialist, Line Nygaard Jensen, visited our suppliers in China autumn of 2023. The goal was clear. To gain a better understanding of our supply chain, strengthen collaborations, and, most importantly, ensure our supply chain due diligence work. Katja and Line visited dye houses, weaving mills, spinning mills, and material manufacturers of recycled polyester, elastane, and cotton. Katja Dam Kristensen Sustainability & Compliance Specialist It's great for us to meet our suppliers in their world and everyday lives. By meeting in person, we get to know each other better, which makes communication much easier afterward. Seeing the production process gives us a better understanding of how it works in practice. It's also reassuring to see that the documentation and certificates match reality, so we can confidently say that we have our supply chain under control. Katja and Line also visited several potential dye houses to find new partners. In this process, supplier visits are indispensable as they help us assess whether they meet our standards and expectations. This way, we can find the right match for us.

Washing guide
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

You can do so by contacting us via the contact details listed in section 2 above. If you choose to withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of our processing of your personal data based on the consent you have previously given us until the time of withdrawal.

Deletion of personal data We retain personal data for as long as necessary for a legitimate purpose or as long as required by law. We therefore regularly delete personal data when the purposes for which it was collected no longer require processing. This excludes requirements in Danish accounting legislation (5 years from the end of the accounting year) and consumer legislation (2-year warranty) on storing certain personal information for a long period of time. 7. Security We have implemented technical and organizational safeguards against personal data being illegal destroyed, lost, altered, impaired, misused or someone gains unauthorized access. Only employees with legitimate reasons are permitted to access your personal information to perform their work. 8. Changes to privacy policy We constantly endeavour to comply with applicable legislation, including the rules and principles on the protection of personal data. We will therefore need to update and amend this privacy policy from time to time. In the event of significant changes, we will inform you via our website or by email. Last updated in May 2024.
