Superior Group of Companies™ (NASDAQ: SGC), through our esteemed
brands Fashion Seal Healthcare®, WonderWink®, and Carhartt®,
received three prestigious awards: Image of the Year® (IOY) Award
in the Healthcare category and two Innovation Awards. The awards
were announced at the North American Association of Uniform
Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD) conference held April 9,
2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Image of the Year® Awards are
presented by the Image Apparel Institute and recognize fashion,
function, creativity and innovation in apparel design.
The Fashion Seal Healthcare® uniform program for
ImageFIRST® Healthcare Laundry Specialists won the Image of the
Year® Award in the Healthcare category. ImageFIRST® specializes in
providing healthcare linen rental and other laundry needs to more
than 10,000 medical offices across the country, both small and
large and from a wide array of specialties. ImageFIRST® prides
itself with over 50 years of healthcare expertise to help their
partners with their top priority: providing quality patient
care.
“We had the opportunity to work closely with
ImageFIRST® to deliver a product that encompassed everything their
customers were looking for that their current programs weren’t
measuring up to,” said Peter Benstock, President of Fashion Seal
Healthcare®. “We were able to help boost customer satisfaction by
providing a retail-inspired rental program and direct sale garments
from our Simply Soft line that were stylish, comfortable, and
durable enough for laundry care.”
The WonderWink® WonderTECH collection was
awarded for Best Fabric in the Innovation category.
WonderTECH medical uniforms are designed with fabric that uses a
patented technology developed by 37.5®. The 37.5® Technology
keeps your body at the ideal core temperature of 37.5° Celsius.
When the wearer is hot, patented active particles remove sweat at
the vapor stage. When they are cold, those same particles
trap the body’s energy to warm them up. “This technology is
particularly useful for healthcare workers who are constantly
on-the-go.” said H.P. Park, President of CID Resources, the
creators of the WonderWink® brand.
The Carhartt® LIBERTY Medical Uniform line won
for Best Garment Innovation, specifically focused on
Function. The Carhartt® LIBERTY medical uniforms are designed
for optimal functionality with features such as, mesh lined
pockets, ventilated mesh back and underarm paneling for
breathability, as well as strategic seaming and designs that
elevate the garment usage for performance. Carhartt® LIBERTY
is a Force® product, which encompasses Stain Breaker®, FastDry® and
Rugged Flex® technologies into the fabric. All of these
attributes combined provide a unique and elevated garment.
