Helly Hansen Stellenangebote

Helly Hansen is a producer of textiles and gear for sports and work on the ocean and in the mountains, headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Previously, from the time it was founded in 1877 until October 2009, the company was headquartered in Moss, Norway. Today, the brand is recognized for its outdoor sports gear as well as the foul-weather fishing gear that can be seen both on television and in movies but is used in all levels of industrial workwear, survival and rescue, and performance outerwear. On the consumer side, Helly Hansen sells to the sailing and snowsports communities, as well as producing apparel and footwear for casual and active use. Helly Hansen began producing oilskin jackets, trousers, sou'westers and tarpaulins, made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. In 1878 the company won a diploma for excellence at the Paris Expo and began exporting its products. In the 1920s a new fabric, which Helly Hansen called Linox, was developed. Over the next 30 years the name Linox would transfer to a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) application. A change for the brand came in 1949 when Helox was developed. A product developed for the outdoor and workwear markets was Fibrepile which is an insulation layer for wearing under waterproofs. It was used by Swedish lumbermen, who discovered that it offered insulation against the cold, and ventilated well during hard, physical work in the forest.
