A New Solid Foundation for a More Efficient Future

Last week, a new floor has been laid in part of our factory. This provides a firm foundation within a broader improvement plan that will, over the next eighteen months, raise our logistics flow, efficiency and working environment to a higher level.

Through this plan, we are reorganising part of our production and warehouse facilities more intelligently, ensuring that processes are better aligned and efficiency is further enhanced.

In collaboration with our employees, we have examined their daily routines, needs and suggestions for improvement. This valuable input has been translated into an improved layout, which is now being implemented step by step. As a result, the changes are not only better attuned to our processes, but more importantly, to the people who work with them every day.

Our objective is clear: to create an environment in which materials are stored more logically, the flow of operations runs more smoothly and our colleagues can perform their work with greater ease and clarity. The first steps have been taken!

As this project is limited to a specific section of our factory, we remain fully operational, with both production and delivery running uninterrupted.

Asylum status holders from Budak College visit Van Heek Textiles

Last week, we welcomed a group of asylum status holders from Budak College in Losser for a tour of our factory.

This visit was part of their integration process, allowing them to get to know local businesses, gain a better understanding of Dutch society, and acquire practical experience.

The day concluded with an interactive quiz to test their newly gained knowledge, followed by an award ceremony. This made for an educational and enjoyable end to the visit.

We look back on a successful day and are happy to have supported them in their integration journey.

REAFFIRMING OUR COMMITMENT TO CLIMATE ACTION

Van Heek Textiles strengthened its commitment to climate action by renewing its partnership with ClimatePartner for the Brillianta and Brillianta Calandré textile cover materials.

In 2022, we started the collaboration with ClimatePartner to analyse the carbon footprints of these two products, as well our factory, gaining insights for emission reduction strategies.

Since 2023, both Brillianta and Brillianta Calandré have achieved climate neutrality. We are committed to further progress by continuously taking new steps to enhance our sustainability efforts and lower CO2 emissions. Recent initiatives include transition to 100% recycled paper and introducing a procurement policy that integrates climate considerations. This policy includes using 30% recycled LDPE foil for packaging, which accounts for 31% of our total packaging materials.

While we have implemented measures to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, some emissions remain unavoidable, as we cannot address all sources at once. We are transparent about these measures and compensate for the remaining emissions through carefully selected, certified climate projects. This year, we have once again selected a forest protection project, reflecting our reliance on viscose and paper, making forest preservation crucial for us.

Introducing new Director of Production and Logistics

With a proven track record in operational leadership and expertise in textile production, we are confident that Mark is well-equipped to take on the challenges of his new position.

We look forward to his contributions and wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter with Van Heek Textiles!

Van Heek Textiles in PrintMatters

A month ago, PrintMatters' editor-in-chief and a photographer visited Van Heek Textiles to cover our current activities. We discussed our specialisation and production in Losser, as well as our ability to thrive in today's market. This success is often a result of the passion our employees have for their craft, which is reflected in our slogan, "Made with passion". We also discussed our sustainability efforts, such as developing Ecojeans and collaborating with ClimatePartner to reduce emissions. This conversation is now featured in PrintMatters' special edition on "Made in Holland." (In Dutch)

Brillianta and Brillianta Calandré are climate neutral!

A new meaningful commitment to climate action

Van Heek Textiles has made a new significant commitment to address climate change: Brillianta and Brillianta Calandré are climate neutral!

To fulfil this commitment, we have partnered up with ClimatePartner, an organization known for its expertise in climate action strategies. The comprehensive analysis and calculation of our corporate and the product carbon footprints for Brillianta and Brillianta Calandré have offered us valuable insights into our emissions, empowering us to implement targeted strategies for current and future emission reductions. Currently unique for a textile cover material manufacturing company!

We are committed to reduce the calculated emissions and avoid them whenever possible. But even though we are reducing our emissions, there will be emissions. To compensate unavoidable emissions, Van Heek Textiles financially supports climate projects.

Sustainability Mark was born of need to indicate the progress of adding new colours made from LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose to our collection. We have recently extended the use of the sustainability mark to materials made from various fibers that contribute to sustainability.

Sustainability mark serves as a ‘better choice’, relating to the materials made of earth-friendlier yarns. Learn more ->

AdoptIdee company tour

It was a beautiful sunny day, good weather for cycling, and so they did. The schoolchildren of the Pax Christi school arrived by bike at 10:00 o'clock in the morning at Van Heek Textiles. It took them just under fifteen minutes to cycle from the school to Van Heek Textiles. At last they could see the water tower from up close, which they had been looking at all the time from their classrooms.

Children are the future, so why not involve them in the projects of the future?

With this in mind, 24 pupils from the Pax Christi school in Overdinkel were given a guided tour last Tuesday at Van Heek Textiles in Losser. We started with a short presentation about the material that is made here, they learned about the difference between fabrics and knits, followed by a short explanation about safety before they left for the factory. The children had a lot of fun learning how textiles are dyed, and hands went up enthusiastically during the question round. After a tour of the factory, they were allowed to go to the showroom where they could see the finished products. There they admired books - such as a Harry Potter book series for which Van Heek Textiles supplied the bookcloth for the cover, and the book of Amalia that recently appeared in bookstores. Also, our anti-pollen mesh, roller blinds and technical knits received plenty of attention. Before they returned to the classroom, the assignment that they will be working on was presented. Exciting! But first, they had to fill in the quiz about the visit and win some nice prizes...

Get introduced to our new collection book!

Finally we can tell you what we have been working on for the last few months! We have given our collection book a small makeover. With the renewed look & feel, it is completely ready for the future. The cover, bound in strong and sturdy Metallium, protects it from the ravages of time.

While we focus on the future, we embrace our rich history. The drawing of the factory that adorns the cover is where we have been producing our textiles since the last century and where we continue our journey.

In the digital age, where online predominates, nothing beats the feel of texture when it comes to choosing the right material for a project. While our sample cards are available in full on the website, a physical collection book remains essential and therefore available to our customers.

The collection book contains six swatch cards of materials with a natural finish, six swatch cards of coated materials, an offset swatch card and a gaas (mesh) & shirting swatch card.

Girl's Day at Van Heek Textiles

Yesterday, 10 young ladies from the Twents Carmel College in Losser exchanged their school desks for a visit to the Van Heek Textiles factory.

The visit was organized in the scope of Girls' Day, an initiative of VHTO Expertise Centre for Gender Diversity in STEM and IT, aiming to introduce young girls aged between 10 and 15 to, and enthusing them for, STEM and IT professions.

They were given a glimpse into the production of textiles, were introduced to a number of employees who mainly work in technology and were given the opportunity to carry out a few tests on textiles themselves.

Unfortunately, there are still too few women in the Netherlands choosing STEM and IT professions, but who knows, we might just have succeeded in convincing a few young women from a new generation. And if not, it was a successful day full of new experiences for us and these 10 students.

Graduation ceremony at Van Heek Textiles

The training, with a recognized diploma, is an initiative of Van Heek Textiles. Van Heek Textiles is committed to retaining craftsmanship within the sector and trains their employees internally by recognized trainers with many years of experience in the industry. In this way the company ensures that the knowledge is transferred to the new generation and guarantees the best quality of knitted and woven materials. Made possible in part by the Twente Fund for Craftsmanship.

Textile cover materials made from FSC-certified Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose

At Van Heek Textiles we strive to manufacture our materials in the most sustainable and circular manner and are continuously seeking for new ways to contribute in the world’s quest for a cleaner environment.

In November 2021 we started the transition to switch over to 100% FSC-certified LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose. We are gradually switching over, colour by colour, to avoid wasting available resources, while moving forward.

You will find the most up-to-date overview of colours made with FSC certified Lenzing Ecovero viscose on product pages of the materials. You will recognize them by their sustainability mark.

A unique insight into the world of Van Gogh

The meticulous creation process of Van Gogh’s old sketchbook replicas was covered in Het Financiële Dagblad on September the 21st.

The old sketchbooks provide a unique insight into the world of Van Gogh. More than 130 years old, they have been replicated with extreme precision in which the graphic industry experts in the Netherlands needed to apply the very latest technologies. Van Heek Textiles was also able to make a contribution. We are proud that a big part of the old sketchbooks was bound in our linen (Fancy and Halflinnen Dark) materials and could replicate the look and feel of the sketchbooks used by Van Gogh.

The collection can be seen at the stand of Van Gogh Museum at the upcoming Frankfurter Buchmesse from 16-20 October.
