Heritage & Milestones · 2010 – 2026+
From our 2010 foundation in Alem Gena to today's vertically integrated industrial powerhouse, explore the milestones defining Buluko Textile.
From our 2010 foundation in Alem Gena through 2026 and into the future, explore the pivotal moments of our evolution.
Ayka Addis opened in Alem Gena – Ethiopia's first large-scale integrated textile and apparel company. This groundbreaking investment laid the foundation for what would become a leading textile powerhouse.
Fifteen years of steady expansion, new technologies, and thousands of jobs created in Ethiopia. Through continuous innovation and commitment to excellence, the facility established itself as a premier textile manufacturer.
Buluko was established as a public company – strengthening Ethiopia's role in Africa's textile industry. This strategic move positioned the company at the forefront of African textile manufacturing.
Buluko acquired Ayka Textile's full operations in a landmark 1.82 billion Birr deal. This strategic acquisition created a unified and strengthened textile manufacturing operation.
All former Ayka facilities became Buluko Textile – marking a fresh identity and future vision. October 1st marked the transformation of all facilities, including the flagship Alem Gena site, into Buluko Textile factories.
Full-scale integrated operations across spinning, knitting, dyeing, and garment production with global ISO standards.
Expansion of circular knitting lines, eco-friendly dye houses, water recycling systems, and enhanced local & regional market supply.
