Welspun Living Ltd is reinforcing its position in the global home textiles market by combining premium branding, manufacturing excellence, and sustainability, with its long-standing association with The Championships, Wimbledon continuing to highlight India’s textile manufacturing capabilities on the international stage.
The company, part of the $3.6 billion Welspun Group, supplies products to more than 60 countries and remains one of the world’s leading manufacturers of home textile products.
Iconic Wimbledon Towels Made in India
Welspun’s connection with Wimbledon comes through Christy, the British heritage brand that has served as the official towel supplier to the prestigious tennis tournament since 1988.
Following Welspun’s acquisition of Christy in 2006, production of the tournament’s iconic towels was shifted to the company’s manufacturing facility in Vapi, Gujarat, where they are produced for professional players and tennis fans worldwide.
The partnership has helped showcase India’s textile manufacturing expertise on one of the world’s most recognized sporting events.
Global Leadership in Home Textiles
Welspun Living has established itself as one of the world’s leading home textile manufacturers through vertically integrated production facilities and long-term partnerships with major international retailers.
The company holds the No. 1 global position in towels and bath rugs while ranking among the top two producers worldwide in bed sheets. Its portfolio includes home textiles, advanced textiles, and flooring solutions under brands including Christy, welhome, and SPACES.
Innovation and Sustainability Drive Growth
Innovation remains a key pillar of Welspun’s strategy, with the company holding 50 global patents across its businesses.
Welspun also reported an S&P Global ESG Score of 90/100, reflecting its focus on environmental, social, and governance performance. The company employs more than 24,000 people, with women representing approximately 28% of its workforce.
