Tirupur, December 18

We are very delighted to announce that SgT Group became a member of the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) in September 2019. 

The reduction of workforces and international travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic are among the practical challenges that are forcing companies worldwide to adopt new strategies and contingency plans.

Surplus stocks of fabrics, trims, accessories, and finished goods are building up at mills and factories due to COVID-19 delayed shipments and shutdowns.

Are you finding it difficult dealing with manufacturers based thousands of miles away?

Because the disruption caused by the pandemic has exposed many vulnerabilities, it’s vital to ensure that elements within a factory or supplier’s control are managed.

  SgT is glad to be a sponsor of ICPHSO International Virtual Symposium on October 27 – 28, 2020.

  Traceability and transparency in the textile supply chain are key to achieving sustainability. Customers also want to know more about the product they are about to purchase: who made it, who will benefit from it, as well as its origin, material and history. However, the textile supply chain is complex and diverse: it is… Continue reading Transparency & Traceability: How to Give Consumers What They Want – ViJi and SgT
