Texmas represents the modern vision of Dubai which has been time and again emphasised by the Rulers of the country and in particular His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai and the UAE's Defence Minister. The establishment of the Group, which was the first in a series of trade associations that came into existence in Dubai during the course of the early '90s and now, marked the first step towards organising the local textile trade.The creation of Texmas by the visionaries in the trade was mostly mission oriented and the Group today has been vested with the responsibility of enhancing and improving the textile trade in and around Dubai. While the initial focus of the Group was to mainly ensure smooth and steady flow of business in the trade, Texmas has, over the years, identified various other areas to contribute its bit for the trade. And chief among these have been settling disputes among or between members amicably, acting as the link between the trade and the government and redressing the various problems of its members. Texmas today also has the responsibility of exploring new markets for the trade apart from generating ideas for improving the business environment as a whole.
