Who We Are

A story of perseverance, dedication & family.

Est. 1986 · Mauritius

Tex International

Family-owned. Built to outlast.

Tex International is a global clothing supplier, privately held and independently run. That independence is deliberate: it lets us think in decades, invest ahead of demand, and build for where apparel supply is going rather than where it's been.

The last few years have been about capability: a global in-house design studio, digital product passports, and the traceability and compliance data built for the regulation coming down the line. Behind all of it are specialist teams (design, technical, merchandising, compliance and country), many of whom have built their careers here.
