Textiles New Zealand is an industry organisation set up in 2003 to assist with developing the four contributing industry sectors that make up the combined New Zealand textiles industry. The four areas are Textiles, Carpet, Footwear, and Apparel, which comprise the industry as a whole.

Textiles New Zealand's goal is to transform the New Zealand textiles industry into a growing, profitable and sustainable industry, successfully competing in the international marketplace. Ultimately achieving export earnings of $1 billion by 2010.

To assist in achieving this goal Textiles New Zealand has launched the 'Transform' initiative. It provides an robust product development framework and the financial assistance for individual companies and industry partners to co-operate, and create innovative export oriented products.
