Janus – belief in durability and care

Wool: Nature’s miracle fiber. Wool is the result of nature’s own research and development over millions of years. This remarkable material is both biodegradable and renewable, which means it harmonizes with nature in a way few other materials do. Wool’s unique properties, such as thermoregulation and moisture transport, create a material that is both comfortable and durable. In addition, wool is the most recycled and reused textile in the world, further strengthening its role as an excellent, long-lasting material.

Knitted in Norway – care from thread to finished garment

At a time when many have chosen to move production to low-cost countries, Janus has consciously chosen to invest at home. Our factory at Espeland in Bergen is the heart of our production, where we knit around 90% of our garments. Here, renewable energy and strict Norwegian environmental requirements are combined to minimize our impact on nature. As proof of our environmental integrity, a salmon-rich river runs right past the factory. We use only mulesing-free wool and ensure good working conditions in our sewing factory in Europe, which is wholly owned by Janus’ parent company, where our goal is to sew 100% of our garments, allowing us to proudly stand behind every piece we produce. All offcuts are recycled to minimize waste and maximize resource utilization. We are also working to complete the OEKO-TEX® STeP certification, which will confirm our commitment to a fully responsible production chain.

Designed to last

Janus has more than 125 years of experience in knitting, and it is this expertise that enables us to produce garments of the highest quality. We believe that a good product is a product that lasts, and our deep knowledge of materials and production techniques allows us to make garments that maintain their quality over time. All our products are certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, ensuring they are free from harmful substances.

A choice for you and for the future

When you choose Janus, you choose a garment that is the result of our belief in durability, quality, and care for both people and the planet. With our commitment to continuous improvement and responsible practices, you can feel confident that your choice is an investment in a more considerate future for us all.
