Grödo – Organic Hosiery from Certified Yarns
Founded in 1924 in Dornhan in the idyllic Black Forest, Wilhelm Grözinger Strumpffabrik GmbH has become a beacon of environmentally conscious production. Since 1982, the brand has been committed to making hosiery from pure natural fibres. These products, which embody the harmony of human comfort and environmental protection, have grown from humble beginnings into a comprehensive collection for babies, children and adults. Using premium yarns dyed exclusively in Germany and produced in Europe, Grödo has distinguished itself by using certified organic cotton and the majority of its wool from certified organic livestock. Grödo's sock collection is sold under the eponymous brand, reflecting over two decades of membership of the International Association of the Natural Textile Industry (IVN), with over 80% of its range GOTS certified.
Almost all Grödo hosiery is also proudly IVN or Demeter certified, assuring customers of its commitment to natural textile standards. Certified under Ecocert Greenlife Lic. No.: 151705, the brand is a testament to sustainable, high quality socks for families who value both quality and environmental awareness.
German-made hosiery reputation for quality and comfort
Grödo has been a symbol of quality in the natural hosiery market for over half a century. The company's resilience in an industry often dominated by fleeting trends and mass-produced goods is due to its unwavering commitment to quality and keen sensitivity to consumer needs. From the outset, Grödo has offered premium branded products made from carefully selected natural materials. Now in its third generation, the family business continues to uphold its founding principles of quality, choice materials, fine craftsmanship, functionality and attractive design. Grödo's strict adherence to natural fibres responds to the growing customer interest in sustainability, skin compatibility and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and combines these values into beautifully crafted, attractive hosiery. IVN or Demeter certification on almost all items further cements the brand's reputation for quality and comfort.
Advantages of natural fibres
The benefits of natural fibres are increasingly recognised in today's environmentally conscious society. Unlike synthetic fibres, natural fibres are derived from plant, animal or mineral sources that do not require significant chemical treatment for processing. The benefits of these fibres are manifested in their physical, environmental and economic properties. For example, they can absorb more moisture than synthetic alternatives, and their cultivation from renewable resources helps prevent soil depletion. Organic cotton is grown in rotation with fruit crops, ensuring soil fertility and pest-free growth without the use of synthetic pesticides or defoliants.
Socks and stockings for the whole family
Grödo's hosiery range is as varied as it is high quality, from classic children's socks to colourful tights, non-slip socks, leggings, fine tights and warm wool socks. For almost 90 years, the brand has adapted its products to the changing needs of its customers. The quality of Grödo's hosiery can be seen in details such as hand-linked toes to prevent discomfort and well-designed cuffs to ensure a perfect fit without being too tight. Grödo uses natural materials such as organic cotton and organic sheep's wool, blended with fine organic merino wool for ideal comfort and warmth. The yarns, mainly sourced from German spinners and dyers, meet strict national guidelines and are free from harmful substances such as formaldehyde or chlorine bleach, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
Grödo's baby and children's hosiery is made with the same care and precision as its adult lines. The company emphasises green practices and responsible manufacturing, ensuring fair working conditions and working with the IVN and Demeter associations. Their extensive collection, from adorable baby wool socks to children's socks, represents the brand's commitment to quality and sustainability.
