Individuals push two large puzzle pieces together

RTS Textiles (RTS) has announced the formation of RTS Textiles Group (RTS Group), a unified entity that consolidates its operations and joint venture partners. This strategic merger aims to create a global leader in the workwear and protective textiles markets.

Effective from March 24th, the RTS Group will bring together RTS, TMG – Acabamentos Têxteis (TMG), and Sapphire Textile Mills (STM) under a single umbrella. RTS will hold the majority share, with TMG and STM as minority shareholders. This integration builds upon years of collaboration, evolving from supply chain partnerships to joint ventures like MGC in Portugal and strategic partnerships like CTI in Asia.

The merger is designed to enhance innovation and operational efficiency, positioning RTS Textiles Group as a dominant force in the industry. The group will encompass RTS’s wholly-owned brands and operations, including Carrington Textiles, Pincroft, and Alltex, as well as full ownership of CTI, MGC, and Melchior. The existing management team from RTS will continue to lead the new entity, ensuring continuity and maintaining strong customer relationships.

This consolidation is expected to streamline operations, facilitate greater innovation, and strengthen the group's market presence. By combining the strengths of RTS, TMG, and STM, the RTS Textiles Group aims to offer enhanced products and services to its customers.
