Fifty years have passed since the late Dr. André Schaerer, chemical engineer and inventor had introduced his Ascolite button shank wrapping system to a receptive industry. Since those early days constant development and automation have brought the Ascolite system to its current state of a perfect thermofused wrapping in less than a second. Today the Ascolite system has become a world standard of button safety and appearance. Applying the Ascolite system results in a visible difference in appearance of any shirt, polo shirt, jacket, trousers, overcoat etc. which in return makes your garment look well made with attention to detail.
