What Texval does

Texval Kft (TEXVAL Kereskedelmi és Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) is a Hungarian private limited company founded in 2009 that operates as a wholesale exporter of sorted second-hand clothing and footwear. Headquartered in a 10,500 m² facility at Algyő, Hungary, the company processes over 100 tons of used textiles per day and serves international B2B buyers across five continents. African importers and resellers represent the primary customer segment at 40% of selected output, with American, European, and vintage market buyers accounting for the balance.

The company's core offering is wholesale graded and packaged second-hand clothing and footwear, with output categorized into reuse (41%+), vintage (3%), recycling streams for fabrics and yarns (the remainder), and a residual 6% destined for landfill — producing a 93% item recovery rate. Texval invested in large-scale sorting machinery, renewable energy equipment, and cloud-based business services through a Hungarian government technology development grant (GINOP_PLUSZ-1.2.1-21-2021-00314, completed January 31, 2023). The company's technology positioning emphasizes cutting-edge sorting systems that augment human sorters, plus supporting service modules covering selection, eco-friendly packaging, export documentation, and multilingual customer care.

Texval generates revenue through one-time wholesale sales of sorted second-hand clothing and footwear to international buyers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers initiate contact via a phone line (+36 62 203 063) or web form. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with a multilingual team in Algyő managing the complete export process from order handling through documentation and shipping. The company is a member of EuRIC Textiles and SMART industry associations and operates a multilingual website in English, French, Hungarian, Russian, and Spanish. No revenue figures, equity funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership disclosures are present in the available data.
