We attended the MUSIAD Turkey Consultation Meeting titled “Planning the Future in Textiles and Leather” in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey’s 6th largest textile city, which exports approximately 700 million dollars worth of textiles and ready-made clothing annually. Our Board Member Murat Şimşek gave a speech on the current status and potential of the ready-made clothing sector at the meeting. Şimşek explained TGSD’s strategic action plan, which includes warm contact, value-added production, the sector’s need for new investments and branding.
