1. Evaluate the Marketing Strategy to grow future Sales Revenue.
Fabritex focuses on knitted fabrics for garment manufactures and believes its strength lies in developing innovative fabrics that look good and perform well technically To grow future sales Fabritex have chosen;
• To focus on the UK lingerie warp knit segment which currently generates about 35% of their total sales revenue (i.e. £15.9 million).
• To grow their share in Pearlwear (which is a premium company with an internationally recognized brand name with manufacturing plants in Europe and Southeast Asia and has growing sales and capacity) from the current 14% (i.e. £4.2 million).
• To ensure conformance to quality with competitive pricing
• Increase sales from ‘sole supplier’ fabrics by 10% from current £2.7 million
• Continue to develop sound customer relationship
• To carefully target some fabrics for which Pearlwear currently has only one supplier and get their technical people working closely with Pearlwear to convince them that they have the technical know-how. This will improve their chances of becoming a 2nd supplier by giving Pearlwear the added attraction of gaining more insurance on obtaining short delivery lead times
• Allocating a special team in the technical department to help gain 7% of the sales that go solely to one of its competitors
• To improve their communications at all levels and ensure fast reliable response to orders
• Targeting about 50% of the revenue that goes to new fabrics in development (£1.2 million for next year and the value can grow substantially). Done by developing good looking and high performance fabric with designers sympathetic towards Fabritex working with them.

The above measures will help capture quarter of the Pearlwear UK lingerie wrap knit segment which accounts for most of the growth in their overall business forecast

2. What are the order winners and qualifiers of the Pearlwear business?

    Andrew Strauss, Chief Marketing Officer at Kwality Knitwear, Inc. (Kwality), explained in September 2006 why his company had decided to explore the introduction of a branded line of insect repellent clothing. “We’ve got to improve gross margins,” he said, “and this looks like the most expedient way to do it.” Kwality’s problem with gross margins was that its private label or unbranded knitwear had no branded recognition among retail customers, which sharply limited the opportunity to differentiate its products. The company’s executives believed this led to substantially lower gross margins than those enjoyed by leading branded product manufacturers—currently 18% versus 30% to 40%. Kwality had recently succeeded in shrinking…

    The history of VF Corporation is a rich and full of changes. The company originally started in 1899 as a mitten and reading glove manufacturer.

    At the MAGIC Show in Las Vegas, where producers present their newest textiles and coat makes to a retailers audience, we have our first insight in the clothing industry. It is obvious which countries play the dominant role in the market. The United States and Italy no longer hold the global leader position anymore. China, India and other low wage countries have taken over the market. Additionally, the rules of production have changed. Nowadays, one single producer hardly ever produces complete coats. In fact, parts of a coat travel more than 60'000 miles and hundreds of hands touch it before it reaches the end customer.…
