Tirotex

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tirotex (Russian: Тиротекс) is a Transnistrian textile company producing clothing and other textile products. It is located in (and gets its name from) Tiraspol. The company was established in 1972 with the construction of its factory, which took a decade to complete.

The company is the largest textile enterprise in the southwestern Commonwealth of Independent States and also claims to be the second largest of its kind in all of Europe. Within its complex, there are weaving, sewing, finishing and spinning operations. As an export-orientated company, 70% of its products are shipped abroad.[1]

In 2021, Tirotex was accused of contributing to electoral fraud during the 2021 Moldovan parliamentary election by giving bonds to Transnistrians if they went to vote. Similar methods were carried out by the company Sheriff.[2]
