Israel Clothing Industry

Israel Fashion Industry Directory: learn about apparel, fashion & textiles from Israel.

Israel, also known as the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia, located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea. That position between Europe, Asia and the sea lanes of the Mediterranean frames the trade gathered on this page: a global intimate-apparel maker founded here in 1975, a women's high-fashion house designing and marketing at home, an exporter of sandals and beach wear, and a cluster of technology and supply firms, from sewing machinery and direct-to-garment printing to woven labels, serving garment makers in Israel and far beyond it.

The directory mixes finished-goods companies with the machinery and services behind them. At the finished-goods end sit Delta Galil Industries, with intimate apparel, men's underwear and socks made for leading retailers and brands, and Crazy Line, designing, producing and marketing high fashion women's clothing in Israel. Hashdera Holdings exports sandals, bags and beach wear, and Vital eco-wear designs sportswear for the 40+ market. At the supply end, Beta Sewing Technologies manufactures sewing machinery, Kornit Digital builds digital printing systems for garments, and Talitnia makes the woven and printed labels that finish a garment. The Israel Textile & Fashion Association ties the professional side of the industry together.

Israel Fashion Industry Companies

Listings are given with the descriptions supplied for each business.

Intimate Apparel and Women's Fashion

Delta Galil Industries is the largest company in this directory by reach. It specializes in intimate apparel, men's underwear and socks, and produces customized, innovative fashion and basic apparel for leading retailers and brands around the world. Since its inception in 1975 it has expanded from its base in Israel to design, development and manufacturing centers on four continents, serving more than 50 customers in the US, the UK, continental Europe and Israel, with more than 10,500 employees located worldwide. It describes itself as a global company that takes pride in being a responsible corporate citizen.

Crazy Line works at the fashion end of the same wardrobe. The company is mainly involved in designing, producing and marketing high fashion women's clothing in Israel, covering the full chain from design desk to shop floor for the home market. Between Delta Galil's basics and Crazy Line's high fashion, the two listings show the two poles of the Israeli clothing trade: high-volume apparel made for retailers worldwide, and designed fashion made for Israeli women.

Machinery, Garment Printing and Labels

Three listings supply the factories rather than the shops. Beta Sewing Technologies manufactures sewing machinery, the equipment every garment in this directory was stitched on. Kornit Digital works one step later in the process, on decoration: founded by seasoned professionals with extensive experience in the digital printing industry, it develops, manufactures and markets high-speed digital inkjet printing machines for garments, the first digital industrial machines to print Direct-On-Garment, together with textile inks developed especially for the garment industry and printing chemistry for finished-garment applications, a complete printing solution for custom printers worldwide.

Talitnia ltd, based in Tel Aviv, makes the smallest component of all: woven and printed labels. Its stated motto is quality, competitive prices, and personal and efficient service. Labels are easy to overlook, but every branded garment carries one, and a specialist label maker serving Israeli manufacturers from a Tel Aviv address is a sign of a complete local supply chain, from sewing machines through printing to the label sewn in at the end.

Exports, Sportswear and the Industry Association

Hashdera Holdings Ltd. is the directory's exporter: it is interested in exporting various styles of sandals, handbags, t-shirts and belts for men, women and children, alongside its sandals, bags and beach wear lines. Its managing director, Mr. Daniel Golani, is the named contact, on Tel: 972-4-9913-828. Buyers researching trade with Israel can also follow the Israel Customs Offices and Qualifying Industrial Zone links in the resources above.

Vital eco-wear designs and produces professional, high performance, bio-functional sportswear with a deliberate twist: it targets the growing population of mature adults who are aware of the importance of keeping fit and active, and its sportswear is specially designed for the 40+ market. The Israel Textile & Fashion Association serves the people behind all of these businesses: for over 50 years it has promoted the career development of engineers, technologists, marketing staff and all other professionals within the Israeli textile industry, and it houses both the Israeli affiliate of The Textile Institute and the Israeli chapter of the IFKT organization.
