TTS: a key player in the European textile printing market
Based in Moordrecht in the Netherlands and backed by over 25 years of experience, Texo Trade Services has become a major player in the European Visual Communication and garment decoration market. The company, which employs 75 people and generated €34 million in revenue in 2024, distributes its products in more than 70 countries, with key markets including the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
TTS offers a wide range of printable textiles, sublimation & protection papers, as well as a wide range of transfer media for garment decoration under its proprietary “Texo” brand, complemented by products from European manufacturers.
A pioneer in the transition to sustainable solutions, the company operates from energy-neutral headquarters (A+++ rating) and has developed ranges such as “Green”, made from recycled polyester, and “Solar”, a 100% PVC-free collection suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Antalis says that this approach, combined with strong technical expertise, positions TTS as a reference partner for the next generation of eco-designed textile applications.
An acquisition creating synergies and new growth opportunities
With this acquisition, Antalis says it further strengthens its footprint in the European Visual Communication market, already consolidated by the recent integration of Integart in Poland, Club Groupe and Poitoo Adhésifs in France and Fortuna in the Adriatics.
