Sustainability at Mettler
für ein A closer look behind our threads
Every sewing project begins with an idea. With the right fabric, colors, and thread, that idea becomes something personal.
Mettler is the consumer thread brand of the AMANN Group. This connects our world of sewing, quilting, embroidery, and overlocking with the Group’s wider sustainability activities and reporting. AMANN manufactures exclusively in its own production facilities. Our certified management systems make our understanding of quality and sustainability measurable.
What goes into every thread
There is more behind every spool than the thread you see. People, materials, specialist knowledge, and production processes all play a part.
At AMANN Group level, sustainability activities cover topics such as working conditions, supply chains, energy and water use, emissions, waste, raw materials, and product development. Details about these activities, targets, and reported results are available in the Group’s sustainability reports and related publications.
Every Mettler thread is created for a particular purpose. Its material composition, construction, and technical characteristics depend on how it is designed to be used.
When a product contains recycled material, the corresponding product information identifies:
- the material concerned;
- the part of the product to which the information applies;
- and the verified percentage, where applicable.
This helps you understand exactly what the information refers to.
Product information you can understand
Whether you are sewing a garment, finishing a quilt, creating embroidery, or working with your overlocker, we want it to be easy to find the information that applies to your chosen thread.
Depending on the product, this may include:
- Material composition
- Recycled content
- Technical characteristics
- Applicable certifications
To help you better understand product information, we provide details about applicable standards and certifications where relevant.
