< Back Warm Welcome to our new Member, DOSE Athletic! 4 Apr 2023 Last week, we had a chance to visit our new Start-Up Member DOSE Athletic and met with Khun Stefan Szot, the founder and CEO. As someone who enjoys exercise and physical activities, Khun Stefan truly understands what works best for his customers. At DOSE Athletic, sports apparel is designed to maximise customers’ performance using the latest technology. In addition, it was really great to learn more about the numerous features that come with DOSE products, especially polygiene. With polygiene technology, DOSE products are more hygienic and smell-less, meaning they need less washing and are longer-lasting, driving a sustainability revolution. DOSE Athletic believes that good designs for sports apparel should be experienced from their sweat-wicking material and anti-bacterial treatment. Their philosophy is to produce products of high quality that will last rather than be replaced. Moreover, they created their design principles to integrate performance, versatility, and durability to cater to a new generation of high-performing individuals. During our conversation, Khun Stefan shared upcoming projects of DOSE Athletic, such as women’s collections and future projects involved in animal charity and welfare. This opportunity also provided us to see how SweCham and DOSE Athletic can collaborate in the future. SweCham looks forward to having lots of great collaborations with you!
