The Chillaz principle
For us, Chillaz begins with the joy of climbing, movement, and being outdoors. But our clothing also encompasses the people who design and manufacture it. That’s why the way we work together is just as important to us as the final product.
We prioritize personal communication, reliable agreements, and respectful interactions. When selecting our partners, we value not only quality and experience but also a willingness to communicate openly and work together on improvements.
For us, responsibility means paying attention, asking questions, and making informed decisions. This applies to the selection of our materials as well as our collaboration with our partner companies. We can’t oversee every step of the process ourselves. That makes it all the more important for us to know our partners and their processes and to address any difficulties directly.
We call this “doing business with common sense.” This philosophy guides us in the development of our clothing and in our daily interactions.
It’s important to us that the employees in production receive fair pay based on a 43 hour working week.

What Unites Us
“For me, Chillaz is closely connected to the people we work with. Some have been with us for many years, while others have just joined us. Every partnership brings its own experiences and ideas.
It’s important to me that we talk to one another, listen to each other, and can openly address any difficulties. Trust grows in our day-to-day work: through reliable communication and a willingness to find solutions together.
Behind every piece of clothing are many people whose skills and dedication make it possible. I have the utmost respect for them. And I’m thrilled by what we’re able to achieve together.”
Diversity with heart
Despite our different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, we share similar values. Visiting this company feels like coming home (Ulf Kattnig)
