Glodina Black Label - What Makes Us Special?

We have become a household name & brand in South Africa

60 years of Quality & Excellence

Glodina is the leading manufacturer of quality towelling and related products in South Africa.

Over the past 60 years, Glodina has become a household name not only as the preferred provider of towelling products to top South African retailers, but also as a respected supplier of superior towel products that play a key role on the success of the hospitality industry.

With prized Glodina Black Label brands such as Glodina Beach, Soft Touch and Marathon Snag Proof, our company has become synonymous with uncompromising commitment to towel quality, affordable luxury and durability. Whilst award winning towel products drive our business, Glodina's success is about people - the customers we serve and the 440 employees whose dedication to excellence has helped build the company.

They served our company and you for an average of 23 years. Glodina has reciprocated by actively supporting and empowering its staff. Innovation, development and training are the cornerstones of the Glodina philosophy.

Snags or pulled pile? Sharp edges on laundry cages, guest's nails or jewellery may cause regular woven towels to snag. With Glodina Marathon Snag Proof knitted towels you will not have these problems. The loops will not pull, the hems will not split, and the selvedge's will not fray - no matter how many times the towel is washed!
