Why SORIWA and Fristads Share Common Values
Safety is a key issue on every construction site.
At first, many people think of helmets, safety shoes, or high-visibility vests. But safe construction sites aren’t created solely by the right protective equipment. They begin with the selection of materials, tools, and work processes.
This is exactly where SORIWA's and Fristads' values align.
While Fristads has been developing high-quality workwear that combines safety, comfort, and durability for decades, SORIWA is committed to making drywall construction more sustainable through innovative and resource-efficient materials. Together, we demonstrate that workplace safety, sustainability, and quality are not mutually exclusive—they go hand in hand.
In a nutshell:
SORIWA and Fristads are united by a shared goal of advancing safety, sustainability, and innovation on construction sites. While Fristads develops functional and durable workwear for professional users, SORIWA works on recyclable drywall solutions for the construction industry. A look at both areas shows how modern construction sites can benefit from high-quality materials and professional workwear.
Safety results from the interplay of many factors
Safe construction sites are not the result of a single measure. What matters most is the combination of qualified employees, functional work clothing, safe work procedures, and well-designed materials.
That is precisely why safety should be viewed holistically. Work clothing, building materials, and work processes are all interconnected and together help ensure that day-to-day work on the construction site is carried out professionally and efficiently.
Safety starts with the material
Occupational safety is often reduced to personal protective equipment. In fact, however, the building materials used also play an important role.
The SORIWA Multi-System was developed to rethink drywall construction. At its core is the SORIWA Multi Profile—a multi-layered profile made from 87.9% recycled fiber pulp that replaces traditional steel profiles. Together with the SORIWA Connector and the SORIWA Core, it creates an innovative drywall system designed to meet the demands of modern, resource-efficient construction.
A practical advantage on the construction site: SORIWA fiber-based profiles can be cut using standard tools. Since there is no need to cut metal profiles to size, there is no risk of flying sparks. In addition, the profiles do not have the sharp metal edges typical of traditional drywall construction. This eliminates typical sources of danger during installation and makes handling the components easier. At the same time, the risk of damage to adjacent components and surfaces is reduced. This supports efficient and practical workflows on the construction site.
Of course, no building material can replace the necessary safety measures or personal protective equipment. However, well-designed materials can help make work processes simpler and more practical.
The Right Work Clothes Make All the Difference
Anyone who works on construction sites every day knows that safety and comfort go hand in hand.
Workwear must provide protection, allow for freedom of movement, and perform reliably even during long workdays. That is exactly why Fristads has been developing professional workwear for the trades, industry, and construction for many decades.
What makes this particularly exciting is the combination of safety, quality, and durability. After all, products that can be used reliably for many years make an important contribution to the responsible use of resources.
Thinking About Safety and Sustainability Together
The construction industry faces major challenges. In addition to productivity and sustainability, ensuring the safety of people on construction sites remains a key priority.
That is why it’s important not to view safety in isolation. High-quality workwear, well-designed materials, and safe work procedures all ultimately share the same goal: to provide people with the best possible support in their daily work.
Why Safety Is More Than Just Occupational Safety
Safety doesn’t just start with a hard hat and a high-visibility vest. It begins as early as the planning stage for work processes and the selection of suitable materials. At the same time, high-quality workwear and well-designed building materials play a key role in ensuring a professional work environment on the construction site. It is precisely this holistic approach that is a key building block for the construction industry of tomorrow.
Safety on the Construction Site: The Most Important Factors
- Qualified employees and regular training sessions
- Personal Protective Equipment and Functional Work Clothing
- Safe and Ergonomic Workflows
- Well-Designed Building Materials and Systems
- Sustainable Solutions for the Construction Industry
- Responsible conduct by all parties involved
After all, safety doesn't just begin on the construction site.
It starts with the decisions we make beforehand.
