Petrol Industries sweater

Petrol Industries is a denim-based lifestyle brand founded in 1989 in the Netherlands. The brand draws heavy inspiration from classic American vintage styles and motor-culture heritage, which is reflected in its logo and industrial aesthetic.

While the brand originated in the Netherlands, its manufacturing takes place globally, primarily in textile hubs within Asia (such as China, Bangladesh, and Turkey) and parts of Europe, depending on the specific garment line. In 2016, the brand saw a major shift in ownership when the private equity firm Vendis Capital acquired a majority stake to accelerate its international expansion across Europe. Today, Petrol Industries is a staple in the Dutch and European casual fashion market, remaining headquartered in Tilburg, the Netherlands, under the umbrella of its parent holding company.
