Company philosophy

“ihle manufactures hosiery and textiles for orthopaedic applications. Our expertise in this area has grown historically. We are based in the Ore Mountains, the region that once produced stockings and knitwear for half the world. This manufacturing expertise and industry knowledge still benefit ihle products. They are the result of complex development work, textile sophistication and responsibility towards our customers. Only when the knitted fabric meets the needs of the medical aid provider and the patient does it leave our factory.”

Whether diabetic shoe, corset, orthosis or prosthesis: ihle is convinced that orthopaedic care goes beyond the aid. This belief has led to the development of knitted fabrics that offer reliable protection for the wearer. Such suitable ‘underwear’ not only increases wearer comfort, but also improves living conditions and treatment effects. The stockings and textiles from ihle fit like a glove: without annoying folds or irritating seams.
