Our Story
At the turn of the century, a merchant family from Beirut convened to discuss the future of their textile business. They had heard rumors of high-quality cotton fabrics arriving from the Far East, yet no one knew who had access to these materials. Determined to uncover the origins, they embarked on a journey into the unknown, constantly adapting to new and challenging environments.
Their quest led them to Kobe, Japan, in 1917, where they discovered the coveted fabrics and swiftly established a textile trading business. They began by exporting these materials to their family companies in Beirut, Manchester, and Lagos, eventually expanding into other markets.
These visionary entrepreneurs founded Debs Corporation, marking the beginning of a remarkable success story. This journey laid the foundation for their global business, connecting Japan and Asia to the rest of the world.
Since 1917, Debs Corporation has grown into one of the most active textile companies worldwide. They have expanded their expertise into Wellness, Food, Digital Solutions, and Real Estate, aligning with their vision to be a global Textiles & Lifestyle Solutions company.
Today, Debs Corporation continues to honor its tradition of innovation, seeking new opportunities, thinking outside the box, and building long-lasting relationships through their unique, value-added products and services.
