TSG Addresses DPP Requirements Across the Full Textile Value Chain
The Digital Product Passport is reshaping compliance expectations across the textile and apparel industry. As the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) moves textiles toward mandatory product data requirements, manufacturers and brands face a common challenge: DPP readiness is not a single-system problem.
It spans the entire value chain — from product concept and material sourcing through production execution and delivery.
A Group Built for End-to-End DPP Readiness
Textile Solutions Group (TSG) is uniquely positioned to support this requirement. Unlike point solutions that address one part of the lifecycle, TSG brings together specialized Business Units covering every stage where DPP-relevant data is generated:
DeSL supports fashion and apparel brands in managing product development, sourcing, supplier collaboration, and compliance workflows within an AI-powered PLM environment — structuring product data from the earliest stages of design through to production handoff.
Datatex provides textile-specific ERP solutions that connect material sourcing, production planning, inventory, and supply chain operations — ensuring that manufacturing data is traceable, consistent, and accessible across the organization.
The Datatex portfolio includes NOW ERP for textile manufacturing, GeaSoft ERP for leather, footwear, and apparel accessories, and Lisa ERP by Limonta Informatica, which also supports Digital Product Passport and carbon footprint management.
SETEX Germany delivers OrgaTex MES and automation solutions for dyeing and finishing operations, capturing machine-level process data, chemical usage, and production parameters that increasingly form part of DPP reporting requirements.
Penelope CAD connects woven fabric design and digital visualization directly into the product development workflow, supporting digital approvals and reducing physical sampling — contributing to both sustainability and traceability goals.
Leadership Perspective
Anton Hofmeier, CEO of Textile Solutions Group, comments:
“The Digital Product Passport is not a compliance checkbox — it is a signal that the industry is moving toward full product transparency. TSG is built to support that shift across the entire value chain. From the first design decision to the last production step, our Business Units generate and connect the data that makes traceability credible. That is what an integrated digital backbone means in practice.”
From Data Collection to Connected Compliance
The challenge most organizations face is not a lack of data — it is data that exists in disconnected systems, maintained manually, and difficult to retrieve at the moment compliance requires it.
TSG’s integrated approach addresses this at the source. By connecting design, planning, manufacturing, and supply chain operations within a shared digital ecosystem, the Group helps textile and apparel organizations build the data foundation that credible DPP programmes depend on.
