Antalis, a leading international distributor of papers, packaging solutions, and visual communication materials, has acquired Texo Trade Services BV for an undisclosed amount. This corporate acquisition sees Antalis expanding its footprint in the specialized digital printing and textile markets. Texo Trade Services (TTS), based in Moordrecht, The Netherlands, is a prominent European manufacturer and distributor of digitally printable textiles, sublimation transfer paper, calendar protection paper, and textile finishing products. The company serves the fashion, visual communication, interior design, and sports industries across more than 60 countries.
For over 25 years, TTS has built extensive experience in textile and transfer printing, distinguished by its quick response to market needs and a wide product assortment. Its own production, cutting, and winding facilities enable the company to offer custom solutions at competitive prices. This strategic move allows Antalis to significantly enhance its visual communication product portfolio and market reach, particularly in the fast-evolving segment of digitally printable textiles. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Antalis’s position by integrating TTS’s specialized expertise and manufacturing capabilities.
The synergy between the two companies is anticipated to deliver substantial benefits. Antalis gains access to TTS's innovative product lines and tailored production capabilities, which will complement its existing distribution network. Conversely, TTS can leverage Antalis's extensive international distribution channels to further accelerate its growth and extend its global presence. This combination is designed to provide customers with an expanded range of high-quality, specialized materials and enhanced service for various digital printing applications.
Looking ahead, the combined entity aims to become a more comprehensive partner for businesses requiring advanced print media and textile solutions. This acquisition underscores a commitment to innovation and market leadership in the dynamic visual communication and textile printing sectors, positioning the unified company for continued growth and expanded customer offerings.
