Portfolio
One of the major factors in our drive to world markets is our ability to respond and distribute textile orders quickly and efficiently to our international trading partners. Our position at the southern-most tip of the continent is a strong advantage; our textiles are strategically placed for ease of delivery to Africa, the EU, North & South America and the Pacific Rim countries.
Furthermore, strong industrial and financial infrastructures, technological focus, and excellent port and air facilities, have made the South African Textiles Industry the preferred supplier for many international clients.
South Africa's textile industry supplies the prospective buyer with a good mix of inspiration and technology.
Inspiration comes from the combination of ethnic ideas fostered by the African continent and traditional western influences; a melting pot that provides a rich diversity of patterns and styling.
Technology comes from the country's commitment to globalisation.
To create textiles within aesthetic and design parameters, across a wide range of applications, at market-related price points and on time, requires world class technology and training. Many of our manufacturers are ISO 9002 as well as ISO 14001 certificated.
National textile exporters currently produce a diverse range of products; from fibres, yarn and apparel, home, automotive and technical textiles. The South African textile industry has already established itself in world markets with a track record of quality and consistency. The industry is the No.1 global supplier of sewing thread nylon; supplies 20% of the world's parachute fabrics; and is an acknowledged global supplier of fabrics.
In addition to these established suppliers we offer the expertise and creativity of a host of new manufacturers and the SMME's of our industry that add unique individuality to the styles and products in the South African textile ranges.
