Uniforms must strike a balance between protection, comfort and function. This balance starts with the base materials, which is why at ADA we invest over 1.5 million dollars every year to research and develop new and existing textile technologies. Combining materials both new and old allows us to create high-performing solutions that match the purpose of the uniform with the needs of the wearer.
This performance-focused creativity is embedded in ADA’s DNA. Every staff member has a responsibility to contribute to the ideas, research, and exploration that are a part of our everyday business environment.
