TexStyles Ghana (TSG), one of Ghana’s leading textile manufacturers and the producer of the iconic GTP and Woodin brands, is set to enter a new phase of its history under Ghanaian ownership.

Olive Africa Partners Fashions, a wholly Ghanaian-owned investment company represented by its co-founding partners, Mr. Kofi Kwakwa and Mr. John Gadzi, has acquired the entire shareholding of Vlisco BV in TexStyles Ghana, together with the Woodin brand, making the investment company the principal shareholder of TSG.

The transaction also includes the transfer of trademarks associated with the company, notably the GTP and Woodin brands, which have long formed an important part of Ghana’s textile heritage and fashion identity.

TexStyles Ghana Limited will continue operating in Ghana under its current management structure to ensure continuity of the company’s operations and its relationships with employees, distributors, retailers and customers.

For Olive Africa Partners Fashions, the acquisition represents both a personal milestone and a strategic investment in Ghana’s textile industry.
