Fabric license partnership

Arco has signed a partnership with Gore, maker of Gore-Tex fabric which, it says, makes it the only industrial distributor in Europe to hold a Gore-Tex Brand Trade Mark License for waterproof garments and footwear.

Arco will use its trademark licensee status to manufacture a range of own brand hazardwear, weatherwear and footwear products using Gore-Tex fabric.

Also in the range, Gore-Tex Heat & Flame Garments with Gore Pyrad Fabric Technology offer a combination of thermal and flashover burn protection. Flame retardant, waterproof, windproof and breathable, the new garments will offer the wearer a high degree of protection.
