Cyclop wins prestigious iF Design Award
Alsico, leading designer and manufacturer of workwear, is proud to introduce Cyclop®, a cleanroom suit with built-in ventilation and integrated panoramic goggles. This revolutionary solution, which significantly improves the comfort and safety of cleanroom employees, has been awarded the prestigious iF Design Award.

innovation that transforms cleanrooms
With the stricter GMP Annex 1 standards, skin covering in cleanrooms is becoming increasingly important. However, this poses challenges to the comfort and health of production workers. Alsico understands the challenges that workers face when developing vaccines and medicines, working in demanding conditions that are hot, claustrophobic, and uncomfortable. That is why they developed pioneering Cyclop® cleanroom suit as a solution to this complex challenge.
Cyclop® sets a new standard in contamination control by combining advanced technology with innovative design. For the design, they worked together with design and innovation agency Pilipili. This suit, with integrated goggles, differs completely from existing solutions, eliminating the need for mouth masks. Thanks to the accompanying device, the temperature and humidity inside the suit are optimally managed. This prevents condensation on the face shield, reduces CO2 build-up and overheating, while simultaneously increasing comfort and focus for cleanroom workers. The result? Reduced fatigue, lower risk of health problems, and a more efficient working environment – all fully in line with the strict requirements of GMP Annex 1.

awarded the iF Design Award
The innovative features of Cyclop® have gained international recognition. Out of more than 11,000 entries from 66 countries, a jury of experts awarded the design the prestigious iF Design Award: a globally recognised award for outstanding design and functionality. This year, extra attention was paid to ecological and social sustainability and technological innovation.
With the growing demands of aseptic production, real change is long overdue. Contamination control must go hand in hand with operator well-being, creating a safer and more comfortable work environment. Cyclop® isn’t just about comfort it’s an essential solution for maintaining both sterility and a stable, skilled workforce
