Tunisia's Textile Heritage
Why Tunisia became the pleating capital of Africa
Tunisia has been a major Mediterranean textile power for decades. The Monastir Governorate — and particularly the town of Jemmel — developed into the beating heart of the country's fashion export industry, serving European brands with high-quality manufacturing since the late 20th century.
This ecosystem combined three things: skilled craftsmanship passed down through families, established textile supply chains, and excellent logistics to European ports only a short shipping distance away.
Slim Plissage's founding in 1987 made it one of the earliest and most technically sophisticated pleating workshops on the African continent — a position it has strengthened every year since.

What makes Slim Plissage the leader
Master Artisans
Generations of skilled craftspeople have refined our plissage expertise. The craft is passed down family-style, with apprentices training for years before becoming master folders.
Industrial Capacity + Couture Precision
Few ateliers in the world handle both large industrial orders and delicate haute couture work. Our workshop combines high-volume machinery with a bench of master hand-folders.
Strategic Logistics
From Jemmel, we ship quickly to Marseille, Barcelona, Genoa, and beyond. Most European deliveries arrive within 3–5 business days — a competitive edge vs. distant Asian workshops.
Proven Clientele
Over 35+ years we've served 1,000+ clients — fashion designers, haute couture houses, ready-to-wear brands, and industrial textile manufacturers across three continents.
