Intertextile Shanghai has kicked off — thank you for stopping by

Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics — Autumn Edition 2026 opened its doors today, and it's already been a great first day at booth 1.1-C83, Hall 1.1. The turnout has been excellent, with a steady stream of visitors at the stand from the moment the doors opened — from long-standing partners to new faces discovering Primotex for the first time.

Great energy on the floor

There's nothing quite like meeting customers face-to-face, and today has been no exception. Our team — with colleagues joining from across Asia and Europe — has spent the day walking through collections, discussing upcoming seasons, and catching up with familiar partners from the fashion and textile industry.

Primotex launches new website — a look at one of the world's largest button manufacturers

After more than 45 years supplying buttons and textile accessories to global fashion brands, Primotex introduces a new digital home that reflects the scale of its manufacturing network across China, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Poland and Denmark.

Primotex is proud to unveil its new website — a modern showcase of the collections, capabilities and global footprint that have made the company one of the largest button manufacturers in the world. With daily production exceeding one million buttons and shipments to fashion, apparel and workwear brands on every continent, the launch marks a milestone in more than four decades of continuous growth.

Founded in Denmark and operating manufacturing sites across China, Bangladesh and Hong Kong, with a distribution hub in Łódź, Poland, Primotex serves customers ranging from independent designers to some of the largest global retailers. The company specialises in polyester, corozo, horn, metal, urea and mother-of-pearl buttons, along with a growing range of recycled and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified materials.

The global button manufacturing industry is concentrated around a small number of large-scale producers, spanning Europe, Asia and North America and supplying the overwhelming majority of buttons used in ready-to-wear, denim, tailoring, sportswear and workwear worldwide. Primotex has built its position within that landscape over more than four decades.

What distinguishes Primotex within that group is the combination of Scandinavian design sensibility, vertically integrated European-Asian production and same-week logistics into the EU and North American markets. The company's Łódź facility supports fast turnaround times for European partners across every product category, and its ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities allow full traceability from raw polymer to finished button.

Sustainability sits at the heart of the new range. A dedicated recycled line — made from post-consumer recycled polyester — is now part of the core catalogue, and select products within the range are independently tested against the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 to confirm they are safe for human use, with certification status clearly indicated product by product.

The new website brings all of this together in one place: browsable seasonal collections, transparent information about materials and certifications, direct routes to the sales team in Europe, Asia and the Americas, and a dedicated space for design and product-development enquiries. For buyers researching the largest button manufacturers in the world — or simply looking for a reliable long-term supplier — primotex.com is now the fastest way to see the full picture.
