Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) is pleased to announce a range of major new projects in Vietnam's booming textile market, aimed at increasing global demand for Australian Merino.
AWI has formed strategic partnerships with a number of leading mills and garment makers to develop new fabrics and active/sportswear using Merino wool and Merino wool blends.
AWI is now proudly working with companies such as Nam Liong - a key manufacturing partner of sports brand giants such as Adidas, Nike and Columbia – to develop circular knitted Merino wool blended fabrics for the sports industry.
Nam Liong has previously focused on synthetic fibre production but will now substantially increase the volume of new Merino wool business over the next five years.
A number of other new Vietnamese partners are working with AWI to provide textiles or garments for major sports brands and clothing companies in the US, EU and Japan.
Established in 2001 by the Australian wool industry, AWI is the world's leading Merino wool fibre marketing and innovation company.
AWI provides its Vietnamese partners with a range of services including technical assistance, wool yarns for trial production, training, introduction of new designed items, introduction of new buyers and visits to factories to enhance AWI's business strategy in Vietnam.
Vietnam's textile and garment industry has developed rapidly in recent years and in 2004 employed 2.1 million people or 4.7 percent of total employment.
