70 years of company history
A synthetic vision
Ahead of his time, the company founder Augustin Mayer already dealt with synthetic fibers in 1975. Because he realizes that they offer better insulation characteristics than down. Innovation is becoming an integral cornerstone of Goldeck Textil and at the end of the 70s he is already working on a synthetic fiber insulation production line with very special properties. G-LOFT® is born. Today CARINTHIA's premium products are exported all over the world and satisfy demanding customers in 70 countries.
