What is the textile industry in Sweden like?

Sweden is one of the few European markets where fleece and sherpa are core materials rather than a seasonal addition, and the reason is the customer base: Swedish outdoor and workwear brands build collections around insulating layers, and they build them every year. Borås has been the centre of Swedish textiles for well over a century and remains where most of the design and sourcing decisions are made, even though volume manufacturing moved abroad decades ago. For a mill this shapes the conversation — Swedish buyers tend to arrive with a written specification and a certification requirement rather than an open question, and they expect the answer to be equally specific.

Swedish textile activity is concentrated around Borås and the Sjuhärad district, Stockholm and Gothenburg. We ship to Sweden from Istanbul on road freight from istanbul through central europe, or sea freight to gothenburg, and under the EU-Turkey customs union industrial goods move without customs duty provided a valid A.TR certificate accompanies the shipment.

Buying sherpa fabric to Sweden — common questions

What is the minimum order for sherpa fabric?
50 kg per colour. That is a deliberately low threshold: it lets a Swedish buyer test a quality and a shade on a real production run before committing to a full season. Stock colours are dispatched from Istanbul in 2-5 working days.
How long does delivery to Sweden take?
7-9 working days by road once the goods leave Istanbul, road freight from istanbul through central europe, or sea freight to gothenburg. Add 2-5 working days for stock colours to be prepared, or 10-15 working days if the order requires custom dyeing.
Do you supply fabric for outdoor and workwear brands?
We supply the insulating layers, not the shell. Anti-pilling fleece and double-faced sherpa are used as mid-layers, jacket linings and gilet bodies. What we do not produce is membrane-laminated or DWR-treated shell fabric — if the garment needs a weatherproof outer, that layer has to come from a specialist mill, and it is better to know that before the sampling round.
Which certifications do Swedish buyers usually ask for?
Most commonly OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and increasingly GOTS on cotton programmes. We provide both on request before ordering, and we recommend checking the scope rather than just the logo — a certificate valid for a different product range is not useful in an audit. We are not GRS certified and do not claim to be; if recycled content is a hard requirement on your programme, that is worth establishing early.
Do I pay customs duty on Turkish fabric?
No, provided the shipment is accompanied by a valid A.TR movement certificate. Turkey and the EU form a customs union for industrial products, and knitted fabric falls within it. We issue the A.TR with every EU shipment as standard, along with the commercial invoice, packing list and transport document.
Can you match a specific Pantone colour?
Yes. Custom Pantone or RAL dyeing is available from 50 kg per colour and takes 10-15 working days including production. This is the standard route for brand programmes that have to hit a fixed corporate shade.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes, and we recommend it. We send a physical sample free of charge — with a knitted fabric, hand feel and pile height are things you have to touch, and no photograph or screen colour settles the question.
What certifications do you hold?
This fabric is 100% polyester, so the certificate that applies is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I — the class that covers articles in direct contact with babies' skin. GOTS and BCI cover our cotton fabrics only. Documents are provided on request. Please note we do not hold GRS certification and do not claim it.
What GSM is Sherpa fabric?
We produce Sherpa fabric at 290-310 g/m². Weight is confirmed per colour against the 50 kg minimum order, and you can verify it on a sample before committing to bulk.
What is the width of Sherpa fabric?
Sherpa fabric is 160-170 cm wide. Always confirm the width before planning your cut: the fabric is sold by weight, so metre yield depends directly on it.
What is Sherpa fabric made of?
Sherpa fabric is 100% polyester. Composition is the first figure that determines shrinkage, pilling and care behaviour — ask for it in writing on the order.
