Performance sportswear, shaped by experience since 1976. Trimtex was founded in Lillesand, Norway, in 1976. What started with training suits in club colours has developed into a performance sportswear company with decades of experience in creating technical clothing for athletes, clubs, teams and organisations.
From the beginning, we have built Trimtex around a few simple principles: quality, durability and products made for a purpose.
We believe sportswear should perform when it matters — and keep performing for a long time.
DISCOVER OUR 50-YEAR STORY
We work closely with some of the best athletes, teams and organisations in their fields. Their experience, demands and feedback help us continuously push our products further — from fit and aerodynamics to fabrics, construction and technical details.
We are constantly exploring new materials, technologies and ways of working to ensure that our products perform at the highest level. Whether the goal is seconds on the clock, greater comfort over long distances or reliable protection in demanding conditions, every detail has a purpose.
Working with athletes at the top of their sport keeps us moving forward. Their expectations challenge us to improve, test and refine — so that the technology developed for elite performance benefits everyone who chooses Trimtex.
For us, sustainability is not only about individual products or materials. It is about how we run our company and the decisions we make along the way.
We believe responsible business conduct is a prerequisite for sustainable development.
As we have grown, we have developed our policies and systems to better understand and manage the social and environmental risks connected to our supply chain. We aim to be transparent about both our progress and our challenges — and to continuously look for ways to improve.
Our ambition is simple:
Reduce our negative impact wherever we can, and increase the positive
impact where we can make a difference.
