OUR DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
The many-faceted world of textiles is our passion. And has been since our inception in 1874. We encounter textiles on a daily basis with curiosity, expertise and experience of our five strategic themes: economic policy, specialist personnel, design, technology and sustainability.
We do all we can to promote our industry and our members.
At home in the very heart of Zurich: members can use our meeting rooms here at Beethovenstrasse 20.

OUR MISSION
We break down barriers and build bridges. We incentivize design, technology and sustainability.
OUR CONVICTION
“Together we achieve more than on our own” – that is our credo. It is the reason why we are committed to networking and exchanges between our members. At special events, webinars and by setting up contacts. Not just within our national borders, but also internationally and beyond our industry’s own frontiers.
Here is another credo: “We incentivize.” To that end, we are a forward-looking and modern Federation. We prefer to set our sights on the future that we help to build without forgetting the Swiss textile industry’s rich history. Textiles will continue to shape our daily existence, our work and way of life in another hundred years – that is our conviction.
