How a Forward Thinking Manufacturer is Reshaping Apparel Manufacturing

A SEAT at THE TABLE: Conversations with Today's Top Industry Leaders

Managing an apparel supply chain has never been easy - but in recent years its got far more complicated.
The combination of greater uncertainty- and increased demands to be faster, better - and more transparent - has made it almost impossible to rely on old models.
While everyone sees the situation from a different perspective - just about everyone agrees things are not likely to go back to what is wistfully referred to as ‘normal’.
That has left a lot of global sourcing directors and suppliers wondering exactly how to repositions themselves to be the winners in what has clearly become a different ball game.
Today we are joined by Ranju Mahtani, Executive Chairman of EPIC Group, a world class apparel manufacturer, with facilities in Bangladesh, Jordan, India and other nations.
Ranju is one of my industry heroes. He has been a pioneer in bringing automation into his factories - long before others were even talking about it.
He has also been at the forefront of CSR, finding innovative ways to elevate his workforce and help them achieve more and live better lives.
In this podcast, Ranju discusses:
- Supply chain opportunities for brands - that they might be overlooking.
- What’s going to change in manufacturing (for real) in the next 3-5 years.
- Why India is becoming an apparel sourcing hot spot.
- The growing importance for manufacturers to develop strong middle management leaders.
