Sri Lanka’s Honorary Consul in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Kevin Perera facilitated establishing a partnership between leading apparel software exporter SewEasy and Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS). Sri Lanka Export Development Board organised this trade promotion delegation in December 2015.

The highly competitive apparel export industry demands a delicate balance in skills development, in order to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism leading to sustainable profits on garment exports. SewEasy Cloud Based Industrial Engineering (IE) software is a global benchmark in labour estimation useful to optimise value for the wages paid, said SewEasy MD Keerthi Abe.

VITAS Deputy General Secretary Nguyen Mai said over 60% of the Textile and Apparel industry is based in the southern half of Vietnam.
