Texner

What Texner does

Texner SA is a privately held Swiss custom textile and event-display manufacturer founded in 2004 and headquartered in Granges, in the canton of Valais. The company designs and produces customized clothing, signage, accessories, and event materials for Swiss enterprises, sports federations, event organizers, schools, healthcare providers, and hospitality operators, with secondary trade through SMB channels via the McShirt.ch online shop. Its customer base includes recognized Swiss brands such as Hublot, Breitling, BCV, Hugo Reitzel, Denner, Poste Suisse, and the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships 2025 and Euro Women's Championship 2025 organizing committees.

Operationally, Texner runs an integrated production model anchored by an in-house factory in Granges employing 60+ production workers equipped with screen printing, flex printing, laser transfer, sublimation, and embroidery lines, alongside a smaller commercial team of 35 collaborators distributed across Valais, Vaud, Geneva, and Zurich. The firm supplements its capabilities through three structural partnerships: Géroudet Confection for heritage costume and uniform manufacturing, Mc Shirt Factory workshops in Geneva and Zurich for additional printing/embroidery capacity, and Karacter.ch for warehousing and delivery services. Distribution is primarily field-sales-led with free on-site consultations and quote-based custom manufacturing with minimum order quantities of 25–100 pieces by category, complemented by a stock-articles tier available from a single unit for faster delivery.

Texner is currently in process of certifying to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards and holds Eco Entreprise certification. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and ownership concentrated with founders and management led by Directrice Zuzanna Politylo, Administrateur Stany Fardel, and a small executive team. Product launches have been issued at a steady cadence from 2020 through 2026 across sustainability items, workwear, signage, and socks, and the company has chosen event-driven global sporting tournaments in 2025 as a high-profile commercial showcase.
