The year 2020 has changed the world view of all of us, with impacts that are probably going further than we initially realized. The overriding concern has been the effects of the pandemic crisis to peoples' health and safety. The time before the Corona crisis seems distant although there are only few months with anxiety behind us. Even today, Touchpoint is looking ahead from Corona, to a sustainable tomorrow.

Our healthcare sector is at the forefront of fighting against the devil. The crisis is by no means beat yet and it will surely take a lot of time before our daily life is going in phase with the “new normal”.

Touchpoint broadens its horizons by acquiring Tampere-based workwear company Domino Workwear Oy. With complementary strengths, the companies can significantly bolster their capabilities. From the beginning, Touchpoint has focused on promoting sustainability.

Innovation company Spinnova and Touchpoint have introduced their first demo product, the Tapio apron in the Gastro Helsinki event. The apron, made of Spinnova’s highly sustainable fibre, is very likely the world’s most ecological piece of workwear to date.

The Finnish circular economy company, Rester Ltd. is building a removal textile plant to Paimio and will be completed in the beginning of 2021. The plant will enable closed-loop services for the customers’ removal textiles and also the manufacturing of new raw material from the removal textiles. Behind the initiative, stands a group of textile industry’s forerunners such as workwear company Touchpoint and Pure Waste which manufactures garments from cutting waste.

Touchpoint is expanding its business to the US. The company has announced a collaboration with Regent Apparel, a California-based workwear manufacturer.
