"Oeko-Tex was a pioneer in the establishment of independent third party certifications for the textile industry," said Dr. Jean-Pierre Haug, secretary general for the association. "While we are proud of the Association's contributions during our twenty year history, we are even more interested in looking ahead. It is exciting to see the industry's growing commitment to safe textile products that are made in responsible facilities.
