By Juliette Tafreschi, August 14th, 2024

We may be a small team, but that doesn't make us any less committed, as we are determined to support the growth of the Asia Garment Hub in helping the platform become THE one-stop shop for the garment and textiles industry in Asia.

"Happy birthday to the Asia Garment Hub! For me, the best thing about the Hub is the amazing team behind it. The next best thing would be the Country Profiles! They offer everything you need to know about the textiles and garment sectors across 12 Asian countries, all in one place. No more scouring through multiple sources—the Hub has done all the heavy lifting for you! How amazing is that? See it for yourself!"

"I love our country profiles, which provide key industry facts and figures for various countries—information you won’t find on any other website! Another favorite is our supplier meet-ups series, where suppliers can safely discuss pressing industry topics with their peers. These meet-ups have even led to the launch of a white paper on legislative mapping."

Wow, the Hub is three years old! From an initial idea, to scribbles on a notepad to a feature-packed, content-rich platform, it's amazing to see how much the Hub has grown and what we as a team have accomplished together. We offer so many unique features and tailored content for the textiles and garment sector that it's tough to choose a favorite. However, I particularly enjoy the expert interviews, as they provide deep insights into various aspects of the textile industry."

"Congratulations to AGH on another successful year! One of my favorite features is the comprehensive news section, especially the news search functionality, which allows me to easily find and stay updated on the latest developments in the garment industry. This feature has been invaluable in keeping me informed with reliable and relevant news. Here's to many more years of providing insightful resources and continued success!"

As we celebrate The Asia Garment Hub's 3rd birthday, we're proud to be growing a community that's committed to a brighter, fairer future for the industry. Here's to more threads of knowledge, innovation, and impact! One of my favorite features are the Country Profiles.
