As part of Manchester’s oldest textile company, The Behrens Group, we have drawn upon our nearly 200 years of textile manufacturing innovation to offer a variety of services tailored to your individual needs. Our proven record of reliability is why we have been entrusted to design the merchandise of the world’s biggest sports entities.

Our global factory partnerships enable us to maintain competitive rates, while our control and oversight of the manufacturing process ensure we uphold product integrity. In 2022 we launched i-Tex Teamwear providing sustainable and inclusive sportswear to clubs, schools and universities nationwide.
