T he most known product of Carinthia is the G-Loft ® syn- thetic insulation. Following ex- cessive testing most European armies has opted for G-Loft ® . G-Loft ® high in- sulation garments and our high qual- ity sleeping bags are also used by the military as well as special units in their daily deployment. Even under the most extreme climatic conditions G-Loft ® offers this top performance along with the comfort required. This extraordinary quality has been achieved after years of systematic research that has taken the natural properties of the goose down as a standard. ABOUT COMPANY Goldeck Textile was established in 1948 and taken over by August Mayer (current CEO) in 1971. The company was focus- ing from the beginning on Insulation prod- ucts, which in the early years, were mainly blankets and pillows. Already in the 1970's Goldeck Textile produced its own insulation based on virgin wool and cotton. Partially also recycled loden residues (woolen textiles) found its way into a corresponding insulation. 1982 was the beginning of the production of an insulation made of polyester fibers. For this purpose based on the the latest engineering techniques a new production facility was estab- lished, which aligns polyester fiber-s 3-dimen- sional. An outstanding insulation was created. This was the origin of the G-LOFT ® insulation that contributed several names over the years: 3D fiber, from 1985 GLT (Goldeck Loft Technolo- gy) and now G-LOFT ® . The first G-LOFT ® products were installed in sleeping bags (Intersport, Austri- an Armed Forces). Over time, the G-LOFT ® fibers and their blends have been continuously further developed. Also the production plant went through various optimization processes, thereby the individual components of the machine were kept abreast of the latest technol- ogy. Major improvements effecting the quality of the G-LOFT ® insulation have been implemented in recent years.
