Clima Customer Spotlight: Schöffel TEC

In addition to its presence in the public sector, Schöffel is also the world’s oldest outdoor clothing manufacturer, with a history spanning more than two centuries.

Quality Starts with a Seam

Schöffel’s unique logo was inspired by the distinctive shape of a textile seam. Embodying the brand’s heritage, the seam logo is a testament to a long-standing commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Starting with a precise, reliable seam – the cornerstone of the company’s success – Schöffel builds cutting-edge technical garments for the 21st century.

The Best German Tradition

Based in Schwabmünchen, Bavaria, The Schöffel Group is a trailblazer in outdoor, ski, bike, and premium workwear. The group’s roots reach back to 1804 when Georg Schöffel was granted a concession to trade socks, stockings, nightcaps, and traditional Swabian pointed hats. The brand gained global recognition in the early 1980s, positioning itself at the forefront of Gore-Tex® apparel.

Today, the group remains in the hands of the Schöffel family and is one of the few European clothing manufacturers with in-house tailoring facilities.
