From a manufacturing facility in Gujarat to the centre court at Wimbledon, Welspun Living has transformed Indian textile manufacturing into a global home textiles success story.
The company’s global journey is closely linked to Christy, its British heritage brand and official towel supplier to The Championships, Wimbledon since 1988. After Welspun acquired Christy in 2006, production of the iconic towels moved to its facility in Vapi, Gujarat, where they continue to be made for players and fans worldwide.
Part of the $3.6-billion Welspun Group, Welspun Living now supplies products to more than 60 countries and has emerged as a global leader in towels and bath rugs. Its portfolio spans home textiles, advanced textiles and flooring solutions, with brands including Christy, welhome and Spaces.
The company’s growth has been driven by vertical integration, innovation, global exports and a strong focus on branded products. With around 50 global patents and a diverse portfolio serving markets across continents, Welspun has built a business that combines Indian manufacturing strength with international brand recognition.
Its journey reflects how an Indian textile manufacturer can move beyond traditional manufacturing to create globally recognised consumer brands — turning products as simple as towels into a powerful international business.
