The Faculty of Textiles, Leather and Industrial

Management

The Faculty is the first textile faculty in Romania and the

only one until 1990;

The Faculty of Textile and Leather Technology was
founded in 1934 in Bucharest;
Since 1952 it is located in Iasi and in 1955 it was
incorporated within The Gh.Asachi Technical University
Since 1995 it has been a member of AUTEX (Association
of Textile Universities);
Since 1999 our specializations are recognized by FEANI
(European
Federation
of
Naional
Engineering
Associations);
Starting with 2000, The Textile Institute of Manchester
began to recognize our graduate diplomas.
