Anne-Lore
Anne-Lore by Van Herck, located in the Kempen region of Geel in Belgium, has been a leading manufacturer of healthcare textiles in Western Europe for over 30 years. Founded in 1984 by Jan Van Herck and Josée Stevens through the acquisition of the tailoring company Verheyen-Cornelissen, the company evolved from producing women's aprons and school uniforms to professional workwear for the healthcare and hospitality sectors. With the addition of the second generation in the 1990s, the range expanded to specialized products such as patient clothing, fire-retardant bed linen, and tear-resistant clothing.
In 2009, the brand names Anne-Lore and Van Herck merged, giving the company a new direction. The focus shifted to producing comfortable, protective clothing for patients and alleviating the physical burden on caregivers. The company is also known for its innovations, such as the tranquility blanket nominated in 2019, which stimulates the senses and has a calming effect.
Sustainability is a priority for Anne-Lore by Van Herck. This was highlighted in 2020 when, in collaboration with Voka, they introduced an action plan focused on energy savings, investing in people, and sustainable packaging.
