Who we are
ZD ZERO DEFECTS IS THE FRUIT OF A QUEST: THE QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE.
Each of the garments that come out of this house starts from pure raw materials capable of creating extraordinary fabrics; natural, soft and comfortable fabrics that are made through procedures in which manual work and technology coexist during a long and delicate process, to finish with the quality control that only our own production, without external workshops or relocations to third countries, can afford.
ZD Zero Defects
OUR HISTORY
Manufacturing top quality underwear since 1920, in a sustainable way and 100% made in Spain.
In 1920, under the brand name Caracol, we opened our factory in the central street of Santa Marta, in the heart of Mataró, where we started making men's underwear according to the fashion of the time. Currently, our catalogue consists of more than 1,000 references of sizes and colours. Today, the Zd artisan factory is a rarity in the industrial world: with a workforce of local workers who have often followed the family tradition from mother to daughter.
In the 1970s, following an investment in research, we pioneered the use of elastic cotton in Spain. The 1980s saw the peak of the Zd ZERO DEFECTS brand and its consolidation. And, in 1992, we experienced a sales boom with the launch of the athletic line.
In 2011 we incorporated soy fibre into underwear. We are the only Spanish company that manufactures garments with soy yarn, a scarce and difficult to weave material, but with unique properties: a great capacity of absorption and transpiration, providing hydration and softness to the skin.
Soya is an organic and antibacterial fabric with multiple properties, ideal for sensitive skin. That's why, in 2012, seeing the spectacular properties of this fabric, we decided to launch the women's line.
In 2015, we started the internationalisation process. Backed by our experience and tradition of craftsmanship, we export our garments, which are appreciated for their quality and finish. With our eyes on the future and our century-old know-how, we continue to develop new fabrics in response to contemporary requirements.
In 2020 we celebrate 100 years as a benchmark for men's underwear. Today, we continue in the same factory where we were born, with the same philosophy: to make an increasingly personalised product with high added value, thanks to its design, its "100% made in Spain" and its eco-friendly production.
