What the company supplies
Astex Hungary supplies high-quality second-hand textiles sorted into clear grades to meet diverse market needs. Their stock ranges from "Original" unsorted clothing imports sourced through UK charity collections to finely sorted bales categorized by quality levels.
Who it serves
The company's primary clients are wholesalers and large retailers, particularly in the UK and other European countries, looking for bulk quantities of second-hand clothing for resale or vintage shops. Small-scale buyers may face minimum order constraints due to the company's large-scale operational model.

Astex Hungary organizes their product range into three typical wholesale grades reflecting different quality and price points.
Typical category mix
The main categories include Cream Grade (top quality with near-new condition items), Extra/Grade A (high-quality used clothing with no visible defects), and Grade B (used items for lower-income markets or industrial use).
