- **Unified workwear (decided October 2026).** Every member of staff,
office included, wears the same Engelbert Strauss workwear (the brand
now trades as Strauss, [strauss.com](https://www.strauss.com/de/en/))
with the company logo. Process PPE stays on top of it: chemical
protection in galvanics, heat gloves at the presses, hearing protection
where the noise survey asks for it.
- **Kit** (catalogue prices including 19 % German VAT, which drops out
on export, checked October 2026): production gets three pairs of
trousers e.s.motion 2020 (from 65.33 EUR), three e.s. polo shirts
cotton (from 15.35), two e.s. T-shirts cotton (from 7.96), an e.s.
sweatshirt (from 18.92) for the air-conditioned rooms, and S1 safety
shoes e.s. Vasegus II low (71.28 from 10 pairs; steel toe cap,
antistatic): ~293 EUR before VAT, ~338 with the logo embroidered (logo
from 4 pieces per motif; ~5 EUR a piece is an estimate). The office
gets four polo shirts and a softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020 (from
59.38): ~127 EUR with logos. Heavy cotton trousers are hot in the
press hall; check the lighter Strauss lines with samples before the
first order.
- **Ordering and import:** Strauss delivers outside Germany where customs
law allows, quotes the shipping when it confirms the order, asks for
prepayment, and the forwarder charges the recipient duty and taxes
([B2B terms](https://www.strauss.com/de/en/Legal_information/Terms_and_Conditions/B2B)).
Thai duty on work trousers (HS 6203) is 13.8 %
([customs-compliance.ai](https://customs-compliance.ai/duty/men-s-suits-and-trousers-hs-6203),
March 2026); BOI does not cover clothing. The import VAT is reclaimable
as input tax. Planning figure: one production kit a head a year and
half an office kit, plus ~15 % shipping and ~14 % duty (estimates), so
~9k USD (~0.3M THB) a year at the start fleet's ~20 staff.
