Globe Textiles demonstrated outstanding financial results for Q3, 2023. The company’s profit after tax has increased fourfold from 47.61 lakhs to 163.83 lakhs in the previous quarter.

Globe Textiles India, a renowned leader in the textile industry engaged in manufacturing, supply and trading of a complete range of textile and apparel products including denim jeans, shirting fabrics, and cotton printed fabrics, announced their plans to acquire Globe Denwash, through purchase of shares.

The company plans to fund the acquisition via its proposed rights issue which will further solidify Globe Textile’s position as an industry leader committed to environmental responsibility and fashion-centric customer satisfaction.

Globe Textile focuses on using only approved nature-friendly dyes and chemicals and has pioneered sustainable processing techniques that give better handfeel to apperals while minimise energy consumption and maximise water recycling through its Zero Liquid Discharge system.
