Commencing the week 8th January 2024, the Fashion-Enter Ltd team welcomed two international groups all the way from the USA for the popular Factory Uncovered Seminar and Tour. Both groups were interested to see how the fashion manufacturing business flowed along with industry ethics and compliance, they were also amazed with the micro factory and Style3D Center and how the industry is adapting to technological advancement.
Guided by FEL Director Caroline Ash she commented:
“We had a fabulous start to 2024 with two international groups.
“The first were a group from the University of Rhode Island. They had not been to a factory before and were intrigued by the tour. They were studying Buying and Merchandising and had loads of questions for me and loved seeing the new technology, such as Style3D, Kornit and Zund.
“The second group was another American group studying mixed subjects from the University of Buffalo. We got great feedback and they loved seeing everything firsthand.”
