FORSBO in Action – The Success Story of Diebald Coating Logistics

When Diebald Lackierung Logistik GmbH & Co. KG was looking for new workwear for its approximately 230 employees, three key criteria were at the forefront: comfort, durability, and a design that aligns with the company’s identity. After an intensive selection process, the choice fell on the Forsbo collection from Fristads – a decision that was met with enthusiasm by everyone involved.

Tradition Meets Modern Demands

Founded in 1949, Diebald is now a state-of-the-art company based in Germany. What began as a small auto paint shop has evolved over three generations into a leading service provider in the coating industry. Across a production area of around 40,000 m², Diebald offers just-in-time and just-in-sequence solutions for major players in the automotive and commercial vehicle industries – from plastic and metal coating to car repairs.

Despite continuous growth, the company remains true to its roots and continues to place great value on quality, reliability, and consistency – including when it comes to choosing workwear.

Deciding on Forsbo

Long working days and physically demanding tasks place special demands on workwear. In addition to functionality and durability, the new collection also needed to offer maximum wearing comfort. After thoroughly evaluating various manufacturers and models – including wearer tests during everyday work – the Forsbo collection from Fristads proved convincing across the board.

"What was decisive for us was the excellent price-performance ratio and the high level of comfort," the company stated. The lightweight materials, the high freedom of movement thanks to stretch components, and the durable fabrics that reliably perform even in demanding environments are particularly appreciated.

Positive Feedback from Everyday Work

Since August 2024, the Forsbo collection has been in use at Diebald – across all areas of the company. The feedback from employees has been consistently positive:

"The clothing is comfortable – nothing pinches or rubs, even during long shifts."
"Thanks to the stretch elements, we have maximum freedom of movement – a real advantage in everyday work."

In addition to comfort and functionality, well-thought-out details such as practical pocket solutions are also appreciated. And: less wear means less need for replacements – another bonus in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
