One of the
major factors in our drive to world markets is our
ability to respond and distribute textile orders quickly
and efficiently to our international trading partners.
Our position at the southern-most tip of the continent
is a strong advantage; our textiles are strategically
placed for ease of delivery to Africa, the EU, North
& South America and the Pacific Rim countries. |
|
|
|
Furthermore,
strong industrial and financial infrastructures,
technological focus, and excellent port and air
facilities, have made the South African Textiles
Industry the preferred supplier for many international
clients. |
|
|
|
South Africa's
textile industry supplies the prospective buyer with a
good mix of inspiration and technology. |
|
|
|
Inspiration
comes from the combination of ethnic ideas fostered by
the African continent and traditional western
influences; a melting pot that provides a rich diversity
of patterns and styling. |
|
|
|
Technology
comes from the country's commitment to globalisation. |
|
|
|
To create
textiles within aesthetic and design parameters, across
a wide range of applications, at market-related price
points and on time, requires world class technology and
training. Many of our manufacturers are ISO 9002 as well
as ISO 14001 certificated. |
|
|
| National
textile exporters currently produce a diverse range of
products; from fibres, yarn and apparel, home,
automotive and technical textiles. The South African
textile industry has already established itself in world
markets with a track record of quality and consistency.
The industry is the No.1 global supplier of sewing
thread nylon; supplies 20% of the world's parachute
fabrics; and is an acknowledged global supplier of
fabrics. |
|
|
| In addition to
these established suppliers we offer the expertise and
creativity of a host of new manufacturers and the SMME's
of our industry that add unique individuality to the
styles and products in the South African textile ranges. |
