About ADS Textil Handel

ADS Textil Handel GmbH, based in Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel, is an import and trading company for fabrics supplying the textile processing industry in Europe. For decades, the company has imported greige fabrics (loomstate fabrics) from the Far East and stocks standard qualities of cotton, viscose (also as LENZING™ ECOVERO™), linen, silk, polyester and blends thereof in its warehouses in Hamburg and Milan (Como). Upon customer request, the fabrics are also imported already dyed, printed or coated. In addition, ADS develops new and exclusive fabric qualities together with its customers. The product range spans fabrics for fashion apparel and home textiles, bedding for hotels, senior and care facilities as well as hospitals, through to technical textiles for automotive and medical applications and workwear and protective clothing. The long-standing collaboration with suppliers and agents on site enables quality at attractive prices with short delivery times.
