The result was a highly experienced and competent crew, to select the suppliers according to many different criteria and always striving for the highest standards.

The selection of possible machine suppliers was made as per three main criteria: Productivity, quality of the products and highest possible energy efficiency. In addition, the team focused on the available local service as well as on fast and flexible after sales services.The first step of the project has been divided into a denim, a non-denim and a knitwear section. The machinery are complete, fully integrated production lines for the production of 12 million trousers, 6 million shirts and 12 million T-shirts each year.
