FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wichita, Kansas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2012 -- WICHITA, Kan. – Jan. 18, 2012 – INVISTA’s CORDURA® brand touts the durability of CORDURA® brand fabric and communicates its understanding that the world’s durable people need fabrics that can handle ultra durable environments. The campaign theme, “It’s a tough world out there. Gear up for it," aims to engage outdoor, travel and apparel customers as they adopt durable ingredients for their consumer products and provide links to request valuable CORDURA® brand selling tools.

“CORDURA® fabrics are recognized for their outstanding quality, durability, and range of versatility,” says Cindy McNaull, global brand manager for the CORDURA® brand. “The Tough World campaign aligns entirely with the emotion behind CORDURA® brand messaging and encompasses our brand’s commitment to provide users with tough gear to withstand their extreme lifestyles. We’re excited about the opportunity to provide our brand, retailer and mill customers with the marketing tools necessary to educate end-users on why they should accept no substitutes when durability counts.”

To get to the heart of the durability that is required for tough experiences, the campaign brings to life out-of-the-ordinary situations in extreme environments. Integrated, global communications will target the outdoor and travel segments through print and interactive media—driving traffic to CORDURA.com, where interested customers can request CORDURA® brand marketing support.

INVISTA will officially debut the new campaign at the CORDURA® brand booth (39217) during the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market, Jan. 19-22, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bringing together outdoor enthusiasts, outdoor brands, manufacturers and retailers, the Outdoor Retailer tradeshow is full of durable people who are ready to experience a tough world.
