The driving force is ongoing further development both aesthetically and technically. This includes the 125 employees, which Zuleeg GmbH is convinced make the difference. This refers to their potential for creativity as well as craftsmanship and their great concern for the requirements of customers. The company does a lot to promote up and coming young people and cofounded the Helmbrecht Textile Forum with five other textile companies. This enables these six medium sized textile companies, even though up to a point they compete with each other, to make full use of the synergies created and reach common goals quicker and better. How much innovation and progress counts in an old established company like Zuleeg GmbH is illustrated by the company’s participation in a European network of companies, who are endeavoring to introduce new methods of management into the textile apparel chain. This is a virtual organization, Vertex for short, which utilizes the latest communication and information technologies. In the fashion oriented apparel weaving industry in which Zuleeg GmbH is involved, an entire range of new patterns must be created year after year. It is useful to investigate possibilities in an effort to limit the range somewhat and obtain a quick feedback from customers. With simulations of actual yarns from spinners, Zuleeg GmbH tries to visualize the fabric being developed and use this as a basis for discussion with the ready-to-wear cloth-ing manufacturer. This quick and selective exchange of design information between the producer and the customer – also via the Internet – can lead to a reduction in cost and a quicker realization of creative fashion ideas in the future. We wish Wilhelm Zeleeg GmbH a full order book, satisfied customers throughout the world and a continued openness to anything new.
