Alexandre Kosmala
CEO, TKNP
Alexandre founded one of France's largest custom textile companies and led it for eighteen years, from a first workshop to an industry benchmark. Eighteen years spent selecting references, testing fabrics and seeing what survives a team's daily grind. Co-founder and CEO of The Kosmos (TKNP group), he writes about fabrics, marking techniques and comparisons: what separates a uniform a team keeps from one it endures.
Expertise
He knows the catalog reference by reference: which polo survives fifty washes, which fabric weight lasts a winter outdoors, which embroidery still looks sharp after a full season. He can tell you which marking technique to choose for your quantity, fabric and use case, and why.
