Back in the early day, many textile businesses were located in and around North Bridge road region. Due to land redevelopment by the government, shop owners negotiated with a property developer, who had a reserve land in Jalan Sultan, to build a textile centre to relocate the affected shops. Textile centre was built and completed in 1974 to become the main textile collecting and distributing centre in Singapore and its name was soon made known throughout South East Asia.

Textile Merchants’ Association was established in 1975, in 1979, and we purchase two units in Textile Centre for the management of our office activities.
