Story
Ferdinand Ernst founded the "Swiss Wool Factory Neu-Pfungen" in 1854. The company processed cotton, wool, silk, camel hair, alpaca, llama, etc., which were sourced from all over the world. Numerous well-known textile machine manufacturers (including Sulzer and Rieter) and clothing companies were established in the Winterthur region in Switzerland, which took a leading position in the fashion sector. Eskimo stands for quality blankets from Switzerland and was introduced as a brand name in 1973. Eskimo Textil AG achieved international fame with the production of high-quality aircraft, sleeping, travel, couch and children's blankets as well as uniform fabrics.
