Image Wear Oy
We make your work more comfortable, more efficient and safer
Image Wear is a Finnish family business. We have been manufacturing work clothes since 1959. Our company, which has been family-owned since the beginning, has grown into a pioneer in the field, producing almost 5,000 different products and operating in several countries.
However, it is no accident that we are the market leader. We have kept our own professionalism at its peak since the beginning and we help our customers succeed. We are interested in the world around us and utilize the latest textile and clothing technology for our customers.
Because we make your work better, we want to be number one in workwear in every respect. Quality has been and always is at the center of our work. Our product development in Tampere works closely with all our customers, because the users of our clothes know best what is ultimately important in work clothes. Our task is to listen and understand our customer's everyday life.
The Image Wear group includes the Tampere-based parent company Image Wear Oy and the distribution channels Tyoeasupalvelu store chain and Tallinn-based subsidiary Image Wear AS.
Image Wear - 60 years of Finnish family business
Spring 1987 was a time of new beginnings in the Vettenranta family. Pekka and Auli Vettenranta from Tampere took a big step in their lives, bought Laitosto's business, founded in 1959, and became entrepreneurs. Together, they decided to dress Finns for work, and from the first days it was clear that manufacturing first-class work clothes and being a pioneer required the ability to throw oneself into continuous change and learning. The same spirit of renewal and renewal still characterizes Image Wear's operations, now that the generation has changed and children Janne and Kati are piloting the company forward.
At Image Wear, we know what competence, work and professionalism mean to Finns - work gives identity, rhythm, the opportunity to learn new things, one's community and faith in tomorrow. When a person puts on work clothes as a sign of his competence, he takes his place as a professional in a hospital, factory, construction site, kitchen - wherever he works. We want to be close to a person who shares the value of work with us every day. That's why we serve these everyday heroes everywhere we work.
Carefully selected materials are refined in our skilled hands into clothes that meet today's strict standards. Alongside our customers, we also see how working life is constantly changing. We bring new technologies and innovative materials to facilitate work in the changing world of work. Although the work is looking for new forms, the value of the professional remains.
Without strong foundations, the forces of change could be carried away. Image Wear, which has grown in a controlled manner over the decades, still draws inspiration from its roots for everyday work. We are proud that our history is the history of a Finnish professional, industrialization and Finland. We don't just go along with the flow of changes, we want to be making a change, to take the entire industry into new directions.
If something remains in the world, it is the inevitability of growth, development and change. A person's need to do meaningful work is also permanent. Here at Image Wear, these are intertwined into a sturdy fabric - an opportunity to do something completely new.
