Founder’s history
CEO, Bengt Arne Tangen
CEO, Bengt Arne Tangen

In my earlier days, I used to work for a Chain Store that had 14 stores in the south of Norway. The main products were wallpaper, carpets and curtains. I started as a salesman, but my responsibility grew, and I started to manage the store design. A few years later, I also started visiting the fairs like Heimetextil in Frankfurt, and did the purchasing to all of our stores. After almost ten years in the same position, I started to work for a wholesaler who reached whole of Norway. The products were now specialized to curtains and other home textile products. After earning a lot more responsibility in this firm as well, I started to think about maybe starting something of my own. Frankly, this idea waived so much through my head that I decided to quit my job and literally took the next airplane to the Decosit fair in Brussels.

I started my company here, and got in contact with Spanish suppliers within the home textile market. I started as an agent, representing these suppliers in both Norway and Sweden. Moving with the times, I started to represent several suppliers from Belgium, Holland, France, China and England. I was always deeply involved in the product development, colours and all of the product details. Because of this, I saw the opportunity to once again change my firm’s main focus. I started producing my own textiles in Spain, using Scandinavian designs. When the market stability grew in Asia, I transferred most of the production to Bangladesh. Today, after many years of good relations with our manufacturing partners, Batangen Textiles has its own production department in China.
