Laundry: Underestimated Last Step In The Textile Chain
Everybody in textiles is familiar with fibers, yarns, fabrics, finishing, and sometimes even garment manufacturing. But who cares about the industrial laundering of these garments? Every piece of apparel must be washed or eventually dry-cleaned. What are the consequences of this laundering? Industrial laundering is just one reason why the finishing industry should pay much more attention to possible consequences. However, in most cases, textile care is not yet an issue with the traditional textile industry.
The must-attend event for the laundering industry is Texcare, which was held recently in Frankfurt. Texcare International 2008, the "World Market for Modern Textile Care," was the international meeting place for the laundry and dry-cleaning sector.

Springs Creative Announces Expansion and Relocation of Springs Creative Shanghai Trading Company
June 12, 2009, Rock Hill, S.C. - Representatives from Springs Creative Products Group, LLC (SCPG) announced today they have expanded their China operation by establishing Springs Creative Shanghai Trading Company (SCSTC) as a Foreign Invested Commercial Enterprise (FICE) under China law. Located at 188 Jiangning Road in Shanghai, China, the office expands SCPG's existing worldwide sourcing and supply capabilities in China and other countries such as Korea, India, Pakistan, Taiwan and Thailand. Providing a global vertical supply chain for all SCPG customers, the office features a team of professionals with more than 150 years of combined experience in the textile industry.
Nancy Han, who has more than 15 years of experience in the textile and apparel industry, serves as director of merchandising for SCSTC. John Heustess, director of sourcing and China operations, brings more than 35 years of experience in textiles and sourcing to the operation. Thirty-year textile veteran Blake Bell, who remains in China after five years with Springs Global, will serve as president of Asia Sourcing in the Shanghai office. In addition, there is a staff of 14 associates that handle sourcing, merchandise, quality control, product development and CAD design along with other business components.
"Positioning ourselves in China remains a very strategic move as the country is the world's number one emerging market," said Derick Close, CEO and owner of Springs Creative Products Group, LLC. "This move will allow us to better serve our customers through a global vertical supply chain. We have an excellent team of employees that are proficient in the global textile industry and possess years of valuable expertise. We look forward to this office working in conjunction with our U.S. operations to offer further expansions in the future."
The Springs Creative Shanghai Trading Company recently partnered with the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill's Global Business Project (GBP). Through the program, students from four different universities evaluated the SCSTC business plan and worked with the staff to establish new processes.
"Working with Springs Creative Shanghai Trading Company has been an amazing experience for us all," said Anu Kannegundla, George Washington University student and GBP participant. "We have learned a great deal about the textile industry and business relations as it pertains to the United States and foreign markets. Everyone at SCPG has been extremely hospitable and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the SCPG team."
