Raw materials are converted through activities such as spinning, knitting or weaving. Fabric yarn typically undergoes dyeing, printing and finishing processes. For other products, processing activities include alloying, moulding, cutting, sawing, joining and finishing.
Input materials are produced and manufactured into final products such as clothing, shoes, jewellery, mattresses, linen and kitchenware. Certain products may require specific prints, washes or embroideries, which suppliers may outsource to processing factories.
Products and materials are stored at warehouses and/or distribution centres that are owned or leased by TFG or third parties. From here they are picked, packaged and transported to retail outlets or direct to customers. Transport may take place via road, air or sea.
As an omnichannel retailer, TFG offers a seamless, integrated customer experience across multiple channels, creating a unified brand experience that allows customers to interact with our company through various channels e.g., owned or leased stores, concessions, digital platforms and customer service.
Products are reused, recycled, repaired, repurposed or disposed of in landfills. Extended responsibility for products beyond customer use and into end-of-life helps prevent products and textiles from ending up in landfills.
Raw materials used in our products range from natural fibres such as cotton to synthetic fibres, such as polyester. For other products, primary materials include silver, gold, platinum, diamonds, plastic, wood and metal.
