Find Textile Suppliers →Textile Value Chain Overview
The textile supply chain flows from natural and synthetic fibres through spinning (yarn), weaving or knitting (grey fabric), dyeing and finishing (processed fabric), to cut-and-sew garment or technical end-product. Machinery buyers typically enter at spinning, weaving, or finishing stages, while fabric buyers source grey, dyed, or finished rolls. Understanding where your requirement sits in the chain determines the right supplier type, MOQ format, and lead time expectations.
Textile Machinery Categories
Core machinery categories include: spinning (ring, open-end/rotor, air-jet, vortex); weaving (rapier, air-jet, water-jet, projectile); knitting (circular, flat-bed, warp, seamless); dyeing and finishing (jet dyeing, overflow, pad-dry, stenter, sanforizing); preparatory (opening, carding, draw frame, combing); embroidery and printing (multi-head embroidery, digital inkjet, screen printing). CE marking under the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (transitioning to 2023/1230/EU from January 2027) is mandatory for European market entry.
Fabric Categories for Wholesale Buyers
Fabric wholesale categories include woven (cotton plain/twill/denim/poplin, wool, linen, silk, synthetic), knitted (jersey, interlock, rib, fleece), nonwoven (spunbond, meltblown, needle-punch, spunlace), and technical textiles (geotextiles, agrotech, medtech, protech, mobiltech). Fabric is specified by fibre content, yarn count (Ne for cotton, denier/dtex for synthetics), fabric weight (GSM), and weave or knit structure.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifies that every component of a fabric article has been tested for harmful substances — covering over 100 parameters including pesticide residues, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and pH. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) covers the entire production chain from certified organic fibre to final product, including social criteria. Both are mandatory for many EU and North American retailers. Buyers should request valid OEKO-TEX certificates (downloadable at oeko-tex.com) and GOTS transaction certificates per shipment.
