 about elka 

 

 

 

Since 1958

history

ELKA was founded in Karup by Ejnar Lauridsen in 1958. The name comes from the founder's initials (EL) and the city name (KA). The products were primarily underwear for men and women, as well as waterproof clothing. This has slowly developed into the collection we know today.

In 1979 the name was changed into the more international name "ELKA Rainwear A/S" and we have continued to work with the challenge to protect against the extremes of nature. This know-how means that we are able to sell high-quality products with excellent functionality. We offer a global service, so our customer can rest assured that they are always first in line.

Know-how is our greatest resource, and that experience, combined with the dynamism, ensures that we remain flexible and innovative. This website will give you an idea of ELKA's extensive product range.

We are also experts in special solutions for most industries - our focus is on your needs!

co-creation

bespoke production

We involve our customers in the design and testing process, when we create functional workwear that will make a difference in their everyday lives.

At ELKA we work with materials such as PU, PVC, nylon, polyester, microfibre, cotton, etc. Our know-how in production and materials is very important when starting a cooperation on special productions. But for many of our customers, it is also important that we have a flexible and safe delivery set-up. For almost 20 years we have had our own production plant in Lithuania, and we have a good network in China, where the existing suppliers have been partners for many years.

In every collaboration our focus lays on the needs of our customer. We take pride in making quality products as well as providing delivery reliability and flexibility. In close partnership with our customers we are happy to share our know-how on design, construction, material selection and production. The degree of our involvement is up to the customer.

Through the years we have produced waterproof clothing, work wear, thermal wear, snowsuits, softshell jackets and other clothing for our customers. But we have also made special production of waders, covers for bicycle trailers, pylon covers for airport use and much more with special functional qualities. We have not yet received a challenge that we have not solved.

Inspiration

we make special solutions 

At ELKA, we have a team of designers in Denmark who create designs to our customers when requested. Many customers, however, delivers their own designs. We are continuously in close dialogue and partnership with the production site in China, to assure that no production is started until materials, production methods and design are approved by the customer. Our partners in China have great capacity in their sample workrooms thus they can provide the requested number of samples.

 

We put great respect in keeping delivery deadlines of sales samples as well as the actual production.
