ABOUT US / OUR HISTORY
Our story, as Thygesen & Birk, began in 2010, where two renowned Danish companies joined their threads to create an innovative international company. The company was established on the foundations of Thygesen Fabrics, founded in 1931 and with great know-how within high quality fabrics for the fashion, sportswear and underwear industry, and on Birk Jersey, founded in 1975 with great experience and knowledge within jacquard, jersey, rib and basic fabrics. Our heritage and traditions hold a very special place in our heart; we aim to maintain the spirit of our founders and the spirit of good Danish craftsmanship.
