Eurotex

What Eurotex does

Eurotex Ltd. is a privately held Bulgarian second-hand clothing sorting and wholesale exporter headquartered in Varna. Founded in 1998, the company operates a 20,000 sq.m. sorting and storage facility on Bulgaria's largest seaport and processes more than 1,500 tons of textile product per month with a workforce of over 300. Eurotex sources unsorted, "original" donations from collection partners in Germany, Austria, the USA, and Canada, and applies a two-stage grading and quality control system that distributes items into basic categories (Outerwear, Pullovers, T-shirts, Shirts, Lower Body, Children, Household Rummage, Shoes, Accessories) and then fine-sorts across nearly 300 articles graded E, 1, A, B, and R.

The company sells three primary product compositions tailored to destination markets: Premium Export for quality-focused European buyers, Africa Export for sub-Saharan wholesale markets, and Tropical Mix for warm-climate buyers in Asia and Latin America. It is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified and GDPR compliant. In 2024 it launched the TexCycle sub-brand offering circular textile recovery services to retailers and communities. The core revenue engine is B2B wholesale export via direct sales (email/phone, [email protected]) on quote-based pricing with 50% advance payment and container shipments (20ft / 40ft HC) with a typical three-week preparation lead time.

Eurotex serves importers in more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America, and North America on the sourcing side, with no disclosed enterprise anchor accounts. Distribution is handled through the company's own global website plus localized sites for Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, and Chile. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes are recorded in the available data.

• Trans-Textil GmbH: Germany-based textile recycling company specializing in collection, sorting, and resale of used clothing and shoes. Direct comparable in the European second-hand sorting and wholesale export value chain.
• SOEX Group: Germany-based textile recycling company operating collection, sorting, and resale of used clothing with global export channels. Directly comparable on sorting, grading, and wholesale export operations.

Broad incumbents
