LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Barco Uniforms has announced the launch of its new high-performance uniform brand, Barco One, with a proprietary fabric technology called arctech. The innovative arctech fabric was designed exclusively for healthcare professionals, and features advanced technical qualities that deliver “5-points of performance.”

“Healthcare professionals are excited by the performance attributes packed into the arctech fabric and amazed at how ultra cool, weightless and breathable it feels,” said David Murphy, executive vice president of sales, marketing and design, chief strategy officer, for Barco Uniforms. “Knowing that each uniform reduces their carbon footprint by over 70 percent, makes healthcare professionals wearing Barco One feel even better. Our goal with this collection was to design the world’s first performance scrub collection that would help the healthcare professional perform at their peak every single day, and with Barco One, we met that goal.”

Barco One was designed with the “healthcare athlete” in mind, delivering “five-points of performance” including eco-friendly recycled fabric, four-way stretch, soil release, moisture-wicking and wrinkle resistance. Each Barco One scrub set is made from 10 recycled plastic bottles.

“The Barco One brand and logo pay homage to healthcare professionals who share one common heart, one purpose and one lifelong dedication to healing. It also reflects the performance of arctech, one fabric that does it all,” said Peggy Schulz, executive director of corporate marketing. “The Barco One brand is consistent with our company DNA, values and mission to lead, transform and make the world a better place. Currently, Barco One is available at over 2,000 retail partner stores globally.”

Barco Uniforms has been passionate about honoring healthcare professionals for over 87 years by leading the healthcare uniform industry with purposeful innovation, merging fashion with uniform design and cutting-edge fabric technology. No stranger to being at the forefront of cutting-edge innovation, Barco Uniforms is the maker of the Grey’s Anatomy premium brand of scrubs.

Barco Uniforms’ CEO Michael Donner was inspired by his father early in his career at the company to focus on enhancing the lives of nurses through purposeful innovation.

“Barco Uniforms will continue to make superior products, market them in a creative way and maintain our position as the innovative fashion leader and style setter that can best serve the needs of the nurse. We will continue to take risks, for without risk taking, there will be no growth in the industry,” Donner said.
