Ho Chih Minh City, formally called Saigon, is also known as the “Paris of the Orient,” and is home to 8 million people. Due to the country’s “Open Door Policy,” Vietnam has undertaken vast economic restructurings that has resulted in phenomenal growth in the country’s economy and international trade volumes. With the the signing of the Bilateral Trade Agreement and the granting of the Most Favored Nation status with the United States in 2001, Vietnam is set to become the most competitive textile and fashion centers in Asia.

Recognizing these advantages, the Chutex Group established its presence in the country by building a factory which is 20 kilometers away from Ho Chi Minh City, and 30 kilometers away from the port of Saigon. Situated in the most advanced industrial park with in-house customs facilities to expedite the transportation of raw materials and finished products, Chutex International has become one of the largest garment exporters in the country.

Presently, Chutex International is the largest knitted garment manufacturer in Vietnam. The sizable scale of the manufacturing facility enables Chutex Group to provide competitive costing to our customers. The factory is likewise equipped with first class sewing and cutting machines, modern computerized markers, pattern design systems, electronic inventory control and in-house laundry facilities.

The factory adopts the most complete Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) system to ensure that all fabrics are carefully tested and finished garments are 200 percent inspected. Many of our customers such as The Gap and JC Penney have already granted this factory QA empowerment status, as well as award of "Best Quality of the Year," "Five Star Factory" and so on.

Vietnam has joined the WTO at the end of 2006 and the factory is free from quota restrictions. With this benefit, Chutex Group will be embracing a prosperous future in Vietnam's textile industry.
