SGS Invests in Textile Testing Labs in Tunisia to Meet Customer Demand

SGS the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company has completed a major expansion of its textile testing facilities in Tunis, Tunisia.

SGS carried out the expansion of its facilities, situated in the heart of Tunisia’s industrial zone, during 2018 in response to growing customer demand. Its textile laboratory is ISO 17025 accredited and CPSC approved and, since 2009, SGS has been serving the needs of Tunisia’s domestic clients as well as providing international services for clients from across the globe.

Now with increased capability for both physical and chemical testing of textiles and with vastly expanded testing volume, SGS is fully resourced to support the growing demand from manufacturers and brands needing to comply with international regulations and access global markets; and best placed to meet the needs of the region’s booming textile industry.

Thanks to its proximity to the EU, Tunisia’s textile industry enjoys a premium position for fast fashion and has been recognized for its strong knowledge in denim, underwear, knitwear, workwear and swimwear production.

Tunisia is an important garment exporter to Europe, especially to France and Italy. With more than 3 billion Euro export value, Tunisia is one of the top ten suppliers to the EU’s garment industry. The country also exports textile products to the USA and Asia.
