"We are thrilled to welcome Texstar to the PWR family, and we couldn't imagine a better partner for our STCC venture, as we share their fundamental principles of sustainability, equality, and uncompromising quality," says Marcus Ekström, team manager for CUPRA Sweden-PWR.

The demanding work situations for both women and men at CUPRA Sweden-PWR require high standards of quality and functionality. Texstar produces a wide range of sustainable workwear for all types of roles, tasks, body shapes, and preferences.

"CUPRA Sweden-PWR operates much like us, pushing boundaries in terms of sustainability and equality. We are one of the very few clothing brands globally that create workwear as well as formal attire for both women and men. We look forward to working closely with the team and receiving valuable input to improve our products while enhancing their work situations," says Mats Ågren, CEO of Texstar.

Thus, CUPRA Sweden-PWR and Texstar solidify their partnership to advance the frontiers of sustainability and equality, focusing on clothing. With a shared vision to enhance both products and working conditions, we look forward to integrating recycled materials into our manufacturing and implementing initiatives to promote gender equality and inclusion in the workplace.
