What Textilia Group A/s does

Textilia Group A/S is a Danish, 100% Danish-owned industrial textile services company founded in 1958, providing textile rental, laundry, hygiene, and circular textile solutions under multi-year subscription contracts. The company serves B2B customers across at least eight verticals — healthcare and welfare, hotels and conferences, industry, food production, restaurants and catering, cleaning, mat services, cleanroom, and (marginally) private individuals — operating across Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Named reference customers include Gasoline Grill, Aalborg University Hospital (Region Nordjylland), and KEA, indicating a mix of hospitality chains, public-sector healthcare, and education accounts.

The company's product and technology stack is built around proprietary cleaning and tracking IP. The Viima Cleaning System uses composite fiber technology to clean with water alone, eliminating chemical cleaning agents and claiming reductions of 80% in water, 90% in cleaning agents, 72% in CO2, and 35% in physical workload. Textilia Trace integrates textiles with Texi, TexMatic, and Terminal dispensing systems and RFID/barcode garment tracking for logistics and inventory optimization. A patented bacterial-barrier pillow supports healthcare hygiene, and the Textilia upcy line converts discarded textiles into new garments (waiter shirts, chef jackets, aprons) and guest towels, with parts of the collection Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription rental and laundry fees for workwear, linen, mats, hygiene clothing, cleanroom garments, and (more recently) safety footwear, supplemented by one-time sales of upcycled products. Pricing is custom enterprise, quote-based, and not publicly disclosed; customers engage through direct enterprise sales with dedicated consultants, on-site needs assessments, and dedicated account management, with delivery and collection handled by the company's own fleet and industrial laundry facilities (e.g., Køge, Denmark). The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, HACCP, and Nordic Swan Ecolabel certifications, and its climate targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, supporting its positioning in regulated B2B tenders.

• Elis SA: Publicly listed (EPA: ELIS) French multi-national hygiene, textile, and cleanroom services group with €4B+ revenue. Operates across all of Europe including Nordic markets (acquired Berendsen in 2017), overlapping with Textilia in linen, workwear, and cleanroom but at significantly larger scale.
