Texo Trade Services Of The Netherlands Builds An Energy-Neutral Production Hall To Expand Its In-House Sublimation Paper Handling Capacity
Texo Trade Services is Europe’s leading manufacturer and distributor of digitally printable textiles, sublimation transfer paper, calendar protection paper and textile finishing products for the fashion, visual communication, interior design and sports industries.
TTS’s premises are already hugely complex, housing 1000 m2 of offices and showroom and 5000 m2 of warehouse space.
The new production hall, which will house the paper winding/converting operations, means the company is ready for the future.
An in-house paper processing capacity for sublimation and calendar protection paper of up to 330 centimetres wide will provide customers with a range of tangible benefits.
A comprehensive stock of the best quality paper that is made in the EU using wood fibre from responsibly managed forests in compliance with FSC standards; having its own paper processing capacity so TTS can respond more quickly to customer demand and provide greater flexibility and delivery reliability, and being in a position to purchase full trucks of jumbo rolls in order to drive down procurement costs.
Investing In An Energy-Neutral Operation
TTS aims to lead the way in corporate social responsibility and environmental awareness. That is why it is investing in energy-neutral premises and in recycling its waste flows, in addition to minimising its use of product packaging.
Just like the rest of its premises, the production hall is completely energy-neutral; 300 additional solar panels are being fitted to the structure.
Storage For Textiles (Including Printable Ones) From Asia
As already stated, another 700m2 in the existing warehouse will be freed up for storage.
This will be used to store the growing stock of imported textiles that are used for products such as flags, lightboxes and décor cloth.
Combining competitive pricing with excellent and stable quality is the reason why TTS is handling ever-greater volumes of these textiles.
Another reason is TTS’s high delivery reliability.
Not only does operational excellence result in a high-quality product, it is also one of the core values at TTS.
In 2019 with a doubling of the workforce, a rapidly expanding circle of international clients and a quadrupling of turnover in ten years, relocation to bigger premises had become unavoidable.
In addition, it has the ambition to continue leading in service and innovation, and space is needed for that as well.
For that reason TTS moved to a new building in January 2019.
These newly built premises are located on the Gouwe Park business estate in Moordrecht and, with 6,000 m2, is not only much bigger than its current premises, but also completely energy-neutral.
TTS has been growing continuously year after year and today our team consists of 40 dedicated men and women, serving hundreds of customers in over 60 countries worldwide. What remains the same is our focus on great products, our high level of knowledge, customer service and availability of our products from our own stock.
