About Thygesen Textile Group
Thygesen Textile Group was founded in 1991 by a merger of three local family-owned textile companies, the oldest dating back to 1931 when Carla and Soren Thygesen started the production of underwear for children and women in a modest 90 m2 production facility in Ikast, Denmark. This small knitting company developed over the years to be a leading manufacturer of high-quality knitted fabrics in Denmark, supplying fabrics to the textile industry globally. https://ttg.dk
