We are pleased to be able to present to you in this workbook our current NOS program for shirts and blouses.
Whether you are in service, management, or firefighting, you will always find the suitable shirt and blouse with us. We place great value on the durability of our products in both material selection and processing, to not only benefit your budget but also the environment.
All shirts and blouses are manufactured within the EU and are certified according to Oeko-Tex ® Standard 100. Additionally, we offer the possibility of customization through our in-house embroidery.
Naturally, we can also manufacture shirts, blouses, and knitwear according to your individual preferences. More information can be found on pages 50-51.
We look forward to many exciting projects with you.
Yours,
Jörg Kümmel
WE´VE BEEN LIVING CORPORATE FASHION SINCE 1965
By focusing on shirts and blouses for professional use, we know exactly what matters:
QUALITY
Besides clean craftsmanship, the choice of suitable fabrics, sewing thread, and buttons is crucial, as well as what you can't see: the interlinings at the collar, cuffs, and button placket. All our shirts and blouses can be washed at 60°C.
NO SHIRT WITHOUT BLOUSE
Each shirt has a matching blouse.
EVERYONE FINDS THE RIGHT SHIRT AND BLOUSE WITH US
To cater to all body types, we offer a wide selection of sizes, fits, and sleeve lengths. In our business collection, long-sleeved shirts in various sleeve lengths are available from stock. In the service collection, different sleeve lengths can be ordered. These are then made without additional cost with a maximum delivery time of 8 weeks and are marked in the catalogue as follows:
8
LONG COLLECTION LEAD TIMES
With us, you can be sure that you can reorder the selected items over a long period. That is why we avoid frequent collection changes or constantly introducing new items. Consistency is one of the most important factors in workwear.
NO LOGO
It's not about our logo, but the customer's logo. That's why we consciously refrain from logo embroidery, engraved buttons, or a flag label.
EMBROIDERY
As the highest quality form of embellishment for our shirts and blouses, we recommend embroidery. Whether it's a logo or the names of employees, embroidery can be done either in our in-house embroidery department or directly in the manufacturing process .
THE BUSINESS-LINE
The quality of the Kümmel Business Collection becomes apparent in the details:
The double back yoke provides more freedom of movement, better fit and increased stability.
The side seams of our shirts are finished with double flat-felled seams. This not only looks better but also extends durability.
Our seams are stitched with 7 stitches per centimeter. This gives our shirts and blouses even more endurance.
As with every high-quality shirt, the bottom buttonhole is horizontal.
The buttons on our shirts and blouses are fixed with the Ascolite ® -Thermo process, preventing button loss.
The rounded shape of our buttons on the backside makes buttoning and unbuttoning especially easy.

SPECIAL PRODUCTIONS
For a more personalized touch.
From custom labels to individualized details, and even fabrics dyed to Pantone ® specifications, we manufacture textiles that align with your corporate identity. We're happy to assist you with design, the right fabric choice, and specifications.
SHIRTS AND BLOUSES
All fabrics from our NOS (Never Out of Stock) program are in stock and available for special orders. If what you're looking for isn't here, you often can find the right color in our extensive stock program from our fabric supplier. If both standard options aren't sufficient, there's the option to dye the fabric according to Pantone ® color specifications.
Production takes place within the European Union.
KNITWEAR
In addition to shirts and blouses, we have been manufacturing knitwear in Turkey for over 20 years. Production is tailored to your preferences and color requirements. Our production range includes the following products:
• Polos
• Sweatshirts
• Sweatjackets
• T-shirts
• Performance shirts
• Fleece jackets
EMBROIDERY
With 12 single-head embroidery machines, we have the capacity to create individual embroideries on shirts and blouses - whether it's a company logo or employee names. For large orders or special productions, it is recommended to integrate embroidery directly into the textile production process.
PRINTING
Equipped with membrane tables, our high-performance heat transfer press allows us to efficiently and promptly print both small and large quantities of textiles. Our commitment to quality is reflected in the transfer foils we source exclusively from selected manufacturers.
Every item we embellish remains OEKO-TEX ® Standard 100 certified even after embroidery or printing.
WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
ALL KÜMMEL SHIRTS AND BLOUSES ARE CERTIFIED ACCORDING TO THE ÖKO-TEX STANDARD 100
You can rest assured that all components of our items, including threads, buttons, and other ingredients, have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore safe for your health.
The criteria catalog is updated at least once a year and expanded to incorporate new scientific insights or legal requirements.
This ensures that we comply with the current legal framework regarding harmful substances. In many cases, the set limits for the OEKO-TEX ® Standard 100 exceed national and international requirements.
MADE IN THE EU
All our shirts and blouses are manufactured in the European Union.
Our partner companies in the EU have years of experience and expertise in the production of shirts and blouses. They work closely with our team to ensure that each garment is made to our specifications.
Compliance with EU regulations and standards concerning working conditions, environmental protection, and sustainability is of utmost importance to us.
By having our shirts and blouses made in the EU, we can ensure that adequate working conditions are guaranteed and that the environmental impact of production is minimized.
PACKAGING
We consciously avoid unnecessary packaging. Therefore, the packaging for our shirts and blouses consists only of cardboard and a transparent polyethylene bag made from recycled materials.
The packaging can be 100% recycled.
ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL STANDARDS
For many years, we have maintained a close relationship with our suppliers that goes beyond mere business transactions.
In our longstanding collaboration, we have not only built trust but also developed a partnership based on shared values and principles.
At every step of our supply chain, we place the highest value on adhering to our defined social standards. These standards are not just words on paper; they are a commitment that we take seriously.
Our ethical principles are reflected in all our actions and corporate decisions.
Our orientation is based on the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact. These principles serve as our guide to embed social responsibility and sustainability throughout our operations. We are not just advocates of these principles; we have integrated them into the core of our business philosophy.
In addition to this, we have committed to the Code of Conduct of the Confederation of the German Textile and Fashion Industry Association. Adherence to these standards is non-negotiable for us and forms the framework upon which our business activity is built.
THE TEN PRINCIPLES OF THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT

• make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.
