Our production is the core piece.

Sustainability and responsible consumption reflect the spirit of the times, are much more than a short-term trend and their importance is being reassessed. We continue to produce a large portion of our products in our factories in Germany, Portugal and Hungary. From the thread to the fabric, cutting and even the final product – more than 50% of added value is created in Germany.

The design teams for women and men at mey surprise us each and every season with new creations, colour palettes and products. New garments and cuts are created, existing pieces are improved and optimised and lovely little accents are added – all with a view to provide durability, high quality and unique design.

One’s own individuality is the focus. The inner desire for modern authenticity and harmony comes first and foremost – both in terms of the materials and the colour palette. The focus is on premium fabrics that offer impeccable comfort. We believe that our durable products make a contribution to a better future. More sustainability, less fast fashion.

The innovative development of yarns and fabrics has been one of our greatest strengths from the very beginning. We develop and test a variety of new material and yarn combinations to produce the perfect fabrics for our products. Our fabrics are particularly durable, soft and supple and also extremely comfortable to wear.

We manufacture approximately 82% of our fabrics on 97 individually configurable knitting machines at the company headquarters in Albstadt (Germany). After finishing, our fabrics are carefully inspected for flaws by our employees.

We manufacture approximately 85% of our fabrics on state-of-the-art knitting machines at the company’s headquarters in Albstadt (Germany). Our machinery includes body-size knitting machines, which create circular knitted fabric tubes that can subsequently be cut to produce tops and bottoms without side seams, as well as machines to produce metre goods.

Metre goods are also circular knitted fabrics that are then cut directly down one side and wound onto a roll, resulting in a standard length of material. After finishing, an employee carefully inspects our fabrics for defects. Our fabrics are particularly durable, soft and supple and are extremely comfortable to wear – even when frequently worn and washed.

As our bodywear comes in direct contact with the skin, we observe the strictest standards and guidelines for dyeing and printing. The dyes need to last through many washes and must not bleed, stain or fade excessively. We test these properties with a long-term washing test. 

By introducing Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification, the colour authenticity and testing for contaminants in all end and intermediate products are guaranteed by the test carried out by Oeko-Tex®.

Our expertise and the use of punching machines and state-of-the-art cutting machines guarantee consistently high accuracy. The punching machine is mainly used to cut shirts and briefs to size that were produced as seamless tubular knitted fabric.

Fully automated cutting is performed on the machine. To ensure the dimensional accuracy of the cut pieces, not more than 25 layers of fabric are processed in one work step. It is possible to cut a much higher number of layers from a technical point of view, however, the cut pieces vary slightly as a result, which would not be in line with our high standard of quality.

To provide exceptional comfort, we pay special attention to our seam work, for example with high stitch density (up to 13 stitches/cm). That allows us to guarantee a seam’s high degree of elasticity and ultimate comfort as a result.

We invest in premium quality. To ensure that level of quality, we check our products after every manufacturing step. Only then do you have a final product that completely satisfies customers: with premium material, precision workmanship and exceptional comfort.
