Hubert Aiwanger visits MAC Jeans

New energy, insights into our collections and a look at upcoming projects: the continued development of MAC was at the centre of Hubert Aiwanger’s visit.

On 24 September, we welcomed Bavaria’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Deputy Minister-President to our company headquarters in Wald/Roßbach. The occasion was the inauguration of our new photovoltaic system. During a tour, Hubert Aiwanger also had the opportunity to explore different areas of our company.

The visit touched on questions that are part of our daily work at MAC: How do we continue to develop our products? What possibilities do new materials offer? And how do we create the conditions for further growth?

New energy for our headquarters

The new photovoltaic system covers an area of 5,000 square metres and has a capacity of 650 kWp. The electricity it generates supplies, among other things, 41 charging points that our employees can use free of charge.

The inauguration highlighted an investment with a direct connection to everyday working life. The system complements the energy supply at our headquarters and combines the use of solar power with a practical benefit for our team.

The next steps were also part of the visit. Hubert Aiwanger received an initial look at the preliminary construction plans for the expansion of our logistics facilities, planned from 2027.

The day therefore brought together a completed project and a look at how our headquarters will continue to develop in the years ahead.

Insights into the ideas behind our collections

During the tour of our headquarters, the focus extended beyond our collections to the materials and development processes behind them. This included the special edition created in collaboration with Walter Röhrl, as well as our work with alternative fibres.

At the sustainability display in the showroom, Hubert Aiwanger gained insights into our exploration of new material concepts. Hemp and nettle are among the raw materials whose potential we aim to develop for the textile industry. This work also considers opportunities for a regional value chain.

New materials, improvements to manufacturing processes and approaches to a circular textile economy are topics we work on continuously. The discussions illustrated the close connection between product development and the long-term direction of our company.

Hubert Aiwanger recognised MAC’s capacity for innovation and its willingness to invest in the future, even under challenging economic conditions.

The visit brought together insights into our daily work and a look ahead.

New ideas for our products, investments in our headquarters and the people who move MAC forward every day.
