In 1980 the company began operating as Spintex Limited, on a 25+ acre plot on the Spintex Road in a massive expansion program. Spinning, kente clothing weaving and finishing departments were added to increase production capacity for new textile products including uniforms, shirting materials, dress fabrics, and furnishings.

By 1997 when it assumed its current name, the company had entered into the African textiles market producing woven or printed cotton or polyester viscose blends. Printex ventured into the African print market with a trademark black-and-white print of intricate designs.

Today the company produces all-color screen prints and African print fabric inspired by a team of textile creatives. Printex prints different range of authentic Ghanaian and African patterns which are sold locally in Ghana and exported to other parts of the continents and the world as a whole.[4]
