PRGMEA joins world apparel federation

KARACHI: The Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) has joined International Apparel Federation (IAF), making Pakistan the 44th country to join hands with the grouping on apparel trade, PRGMEA Chairman Mohsin Ayub Mirza said in a statement on Saturday.

The Federation’s aims and objectives include consolidation and collaboration between apparel industries across the world in order to promote fashion industries and present innovative ideas and solutions to multiple challenges.

Ijaz A Khokhar, former central chairman of PRGMEA, recently attended the 25th World Apparel Convention in New Delhi, India in which PRGMEA was formally inducted as a full member of IAF.

The PRGMEA chairman said becoming the member of a prestigious body like IAF would help Pakistan’s apparel industry and exporters establish worldwide business contacts. These would foster dialogue and knowledge-sharing, exchange between individuals active in the world apparel value chain for the betterment of business practices, promotion of international image of Pakistan’s apparel sector, advancement of technology and promotion of its use, encouragement of innovation and new ways of thinking and improvement of social, health and safety and environmental conditions relating to the apparel chain worldwide, and advancement of apparel education and training.

The IAF is a worldwide knowledge network that collects and disseminates information about statistics, bench-marking, developments in apparel design, manufacturing, distribution, sourcing, trade and technology. Mirza said soon efforts would be made to invite IAF members from all over the globe along with different buyers and brand heads to explore the potential of Pakistan’s apparel industry. “All this is possible once the law and order situation improves in the country.”
