THE TRIGON SELECT/IAF EVALUATION, CERTIFICATION, & PROMOTION PROGRAMME FOR APPAREL MANUFACTURERS
TRIGON SELECT in close cooperation with the SOUZLEGPROM (RUSSIA), IAF (international Apparel Federation) and official German Fashion Association (GermanFashion) has developed a unique programme for evaluating, rating and certifying and promoting apparel producers based on their manufacturing, management and marketing capabilities.
The idea for developing this evaluation and rating programme arose from the circumstance that so far there was no such instrument (a) recognized by any international body/organisation (b) ensuring a high level of objectivity in the assessment of the manufacturing capabilities of apparel producers.
Because of the unique character of this instrument, the International Apparel Federation ‘IAF’, who are fully endorsing this programme, has accepted TRIGON SELECT as the their only official partner for the certification, rating, and promotion of apparel producers based on their manufacturing, management and marketing capabilities.
The International Apparel Federation ‘IAF’ is the global federation of the apparel industry representing over 60 national apparel associations of garment manufacturers and/or buyers - either fashion brands or retailers - in all continents.
According to the ‘IAF’ and their affiliated national apparel and fashion associations this is a worldwide unique programme for evaluating, rating and certifying apparel manufacturers based on recognized professional industry standards. TRIGON SELECT’s ratings are based on professional, objective and very comprehensive assessments of apparel manufacturers’ capabilities, covering every aspect of apparel manufacturing, management and marketing.
