TopTex: the Made in Europe approach
In the interests of social and environmental responsibility TopTex has chosen to distribute an increasing number of products made in Europe. This choice is a guarantee of traceability, quality and customer satisfaction. It also has an ecological bias: choosing and manufacturing a product in Europe and selling it in the same region contributes to reducing the environmental impact of transport. Made in Europe products benefit from quality expertise and use local supply networks. They play a role in the protection and expansion of the European textile industry.
