Efficient air purification systems from Thuringia
Much fuss about clean air - Prime Minister at our network member purventus
Air purification systems are an important issue in pandemic times, and schools and nursing homes in particular are looking for solutions. But so far there is no system that is used nationwide, although there are viable technologies that destroy germs instead of filtering them. Our network member, Purventus GmbH, has developed an air purification system that cleans indoor air and eliminates 98 percent of all bacteria, yeasts and viruses, including SARS-CoV2 viruses.
Strickzella has developed moth-resistant, ultra-fine merino wool
Finally no more moths in the merino wool
PERO, a wool yarn doped with scent, is the world's first wool yarn with built-in reliable protection against feeding by pesky clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella). The process of protecting wool against insects has been developed by Strick Zella in recent years and is patented now. For this purpose, the ultra-fine merino wool fibers are mixed with Lyocell fibers in a very small proportion (3%).

30 years Helmut Peterseim Knitwear
We congratulate on the company anniversary of Helmut Peterseim Strickwaren GmbH and especially the man who founded the company and successfully managed it for over 25 years despite all obstacles.
