About Wacoal Europe

Wacoal Europe, based in Northamptonshire, are leaders in the A-K cup, 28-48 back size intimate-apparel market. They offer a whole family of brands, each with their own personality and position in the market.

The company’s strength is in realising that one size does not fit all: every woman differs in her size, shape, taste and how she feels. The company offers high-quality, fashion-conscious lingerie and bra-sized swimwear stocked in over 5,000 retailers in more than 30 countries.

Under Chief Executive Officer Geoff Embley, around 465 people work in the UK office, production centres and sales offices across the world. Materials are responsibly sourced from trusted suppliers around the globe in more than 30 countries. They’re manufactured with rigorously applied employee-welfare policies and practices.

The firm has made huge efforts to reduce their ‘bra miles’ and are shrinking their carbon footprint more by constantly challenging the supply chain and adopting both local and international improvement initiatives.
