Unisync Corp. announced that WestJet will be launching its new custom-designed uniform collection certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, which is manufactured and distributed by Unisync and designed by Juli Grbac. Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® is the industry standard for safety and will make WestJet the first Canadian airline to achieve this certification.

STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® ensures that garments meet or exceed global safety standards with regards to harmful substances. Not only are finished garments tested and certified, but every single raw material and supplier is tested and audited before the finished garments are even manufactured. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® was developed in 1992 by an international consortium of textile research and testing institutes.

OEKO-TEX® now includes 18 institutes in Europe and Japan with offices in more than 60 countries. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® testing is known for ensuring that textiles are tested for potentially harmful substances and allergens. This standard is used by many retailers including Pottery Barn, Calvin Klein, Target, Macy's and children's-wear company Hanna Andersson.

The new uniforms are being rolled out to employees in the summer of 2022. Unisync will be responsible for all aspects of the program including manufacturing, quality control, inventory planning, online ordering, customer service, warehousing and distribution.
