The company manages the entire value chain, from concept and design to manufacturing, delivery, and after-sales service. Since its inception, it has been developing comprehensive lines of promotional apparel and promotional items for clients in both the private and public sectors.
THE 1990s
As early as the 1990s, Importexa anticipated the growing demand for high-quality workwear by launching its own brand, “ISA WorkWear.” The brand offers technical, functional clothing that meets safety, visibility, and durability standards, while enhancing the image of its corporate clients.
2000
Under the leadership of Philippe Cloux since 2000, Importexa has strengthened its commitment to quality and social responsibility. This commitment is reflected in the company’s attainment of ISO 9001 certification, as well as in its recognition with leading "Corporate Social Responsibility" certifications.
2010
Starting in 2010, ISA reaffirmed its commitment to offering clothing that is both stylish, sustainable, and ethically produced, introducing a wide range of products made from organic or recycled cotton, backed by a new ISO 14001 certification and an innovative traceability system, ISA-Trace.
Importexa’s development is part of a strategy of controlled growth. The company has offices and subsidiaries in Switzerland and abroad, as well as a production facility in Tunisia dedicated to prototyping and coordinating with subcontractors. It also collaborates with major international groups on large-scale projects.
2020
Importexa is no longer limited to manufacturing: it offers global support that integrates design, production, a B2B website, logistics, warehousing, distribution, and personalized consulting—all of which have become a central part of its added value.
