BA Sales Support

We are on an exciting journey with our Textile business, a journey where we build on strengths and challenge ourselves and our business to be truly affordable, sustainable, and desirable for the many people. Textiles are an important part of people’s lives and homes during all phases of life.
They create that warm, homey feeling in a room and home. They are practical, letting the warmth of the sun in or out, can be ergonomic and make you warm or cool at night. They are with you when you go to bed and wake up in the morning. Our mission is to create Textiles for a better everyday life, whoever you are and wherever you live.
