Sheltered workshops: screen printing & embroidery

Our Regional Partner: GWS Salzburg

It is the distinctive design that makes our textiles true jonboy products. And for this important step, we found a partner right here in the region: the Geschützte Werkstätten Salzburg. Here, our garments are finished with a great deal of attention to detail using screen printing and embroidery. 

Geschützte Werkstätten - Integrative Enterprises Salzburg

GWS is a commercial enterprise with a social mission. Since 1977, as an integrative enterprise, it has been creating jobs and training opportunities for people with disabilities.

Responsibility is part of GWS's corporate purpose: ecological, social and partnership-based. This is where its strength lies: enabling people to work in an environment that (finally) truly suits them. The focus is on full-time jobs with fair pay, as well as all rights and responsibilities.

You can find more about sustainability at the GWS, as well as a sustainability report, here. 

Why screen printing and embroidery?

Our goal is to make garments that will accompany you for as long as possible and bring you joy. This begins with the selection of high-quality raw materials, continues with the careful processing of the textiles, and ends with finishing using long-lasting screen printing and embroidery.

Screen printing and embroidery: long-lasting results

Screen printing is a high-quality printing process in which a frame is first made to serve as a stencil for printing designs. Using the frame and a squeegee, the ink is applied directly to the fabric. This printing method is particularly suitable for bold colors, clean lines, and long-lasting designs – making it ideal for our jonboy designs.

Embroidery is considered one of the highest-quality and longest-lasting finishing methods. Embroidered designs are particularly resistant to frequent washing and wear. 

The entire textile production of the GWS is based on the GOTS standard and meets the highest ecological and social requirements.
