Asmara Vietnam is keen to develop local fabric manufacturing units in Vietnam, as Vietnam is still heavily dependent on countries like China and Korea for raw materials.
In an exclusive interaction with Team Apparel Resources, Pradhan Nrudipta Nirenlal, Product Design & Development, Asmara International Limited said that except hyper flex, which people prefer buying from China, for the other fabrics Vietnam is slowly getting approval from buyers.
Pradhan added that Asmara Vietnam was happy to be associated with TCE Denim which has its own fabric mill in Vietnam. Going forward, Asmara intends to take more measures to develop and promote fabric mills in Vietnam. Pradhan wants more fabric mills to come up in Vietnam as more mills would mean more innovation.
He further added that Vietnam is trying to get the same quality standards for fabrics that the buyers are currently getting from other countries. “Happy buyers will enhance the business,” substantiated Pradhan.
Asmara is one of the most reputed buying houses in Vietnam, which was established in 2008 and is associated with as many as 35 factories. Some of its esteemed clients are Abercrombie & Fitch, Tom Tailor, Zara, Pepe Jeans, Ann Taylor, and River Island among several others.
