Managing Director, John Agius, commenced his career in the thriving heydays of the Melbourne textile industry, in the late 1970’s. At the Commonwealth Dyers Association (then to become Austrim Textiles), John worked his way from Laboratory Technician through to Senior Dyehouse Manager. Between multiple short overseas projects, John’s next major project was the building and commissioning of “Logan Textiles” dye house in Brisbane in 1996. Years spent at Logan Textiles became the knowledge base that TFS has today, particularly on elastane based substrates.
