Swiss Textiles’ services and activities are guided by Strategy 2025. In the technical commissions, current political issues and sector-specific concerns are discussed and actions are initiated. In addition to political lobbying, Swiss Textiles’ main activities include providing advisory services to companies, maintaining the textiles network and developing contacts with other networks relevant to the textiles industry. As an organisation that provides a range of training and further education possibilities in the textiles sector, we ensure the supply of well-qualified specialists.
The Swiss Textiles Administrative Office is the hub of these activities. We offer direct personal advisory services in the fields of labour law, brand and design protection, customs issues and questions concerning origin, as well as training and further education, and sustainability.
All these services are available free of charge to members.
We keep our members regularly updated on all new developments in the industry, including recent government decisions and new legislation, guidelines, regulations, training opportunities and much more. Members can set up their personal subscription to obtain this information.
We provide information on the industry’s driving forces and the diversity of our members’ activities with regular reports posted on this website and in social media, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.
We organise training courses on relevant issues in the form of webinars and in-person events. As a member you receive information about new events by e-mail. You can obtain an overview of all current events here. Participation in events is free of charge for members.
We operate in an active and committed network. New and promising contacts can be made and developed within the technical commissions, at events and through specific meetings. Are you trying to contact another member or industry? We are here to help you.
Swiss Textiles brings together companies with tradition and innovative power and whose focus is on high quality. For example, we have just launched a successful partnership with Haelixa, through which we can make our value-added chain even more transparent.
Swiss Textiles’ interdisciplinary work is a major value-adding factor. It enables me to make surprising new contacts who give me ideas for new products.
We regularly report on Swiss Textiles’ other activities on this website under Focus.
