Utilizing all of their specialized skills they formed China Union. The business model is steady and strong based on a full service approach focusing on raw material to finished product for the customers.<\/span><\/p>\n China Union has specialized in the US market. \u201cCustomers constantly challenge us to deliver faster, with better quality and better value,\u201d says Francis Lee, executive director. \u201cWe naturally worked toward fine tuning our business model with focus toward our own well managed supply chain. With our Hong Kong office we sourced raw materials through Inner-Mongolia. We developed a spinning and dying factory in Wuxi and our knitting and finishing garment factory in Huidong. Our merchandising and marketing approach is twofold: We have\u00a0dedicated teams in Hong Kong and New York focusing on marketing and merchandising. We strive through our efficiencies of production and marketing to develop superior product, while passing on relevant savings to our customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUnlike other companies, we offer our customers a complete production chain process. We manage and control all aspects of the business from the raw materials to the finished sweater products. This business model allows for better costing, value and customer confidence when compared to the competitors. Another form of differentiation vs the competitors is our strategy to invest: We invest wisely in training for our staff, as well as investing in production advantages such as the finest automated equipment available for production, providing greater quality and cost savings advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n In design development, we actively invest and encourage our design team to meet the world. We look forward we could gradually change our business model from OEM to both ODM and OBM.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n For design, we proceed with through market research and discussion with our customers to establish market trends and innovative fashion concepts. Our own cashmere knitwear collections: \u2018MALVERN\u2019 and \u2018VERTICAL DESIGN\u2019 offer fashion knitwear for men\u2019s, women\u2019s, infants and fashion accessories. We strive to supply our customers with the correct product with value, fashion and quality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n What obstacles have you faced in the HK market and how have you overcome them? <\/span><\/p>\n Speaking of expansion he says, \u201cwe believe that we will continue to run our business from Hong Kong while also developing another office in Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asia office will focus on production for Canada and European markets, where there will be duty free preferential policies and low labor costs to service those markets competitively.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere really isn\u2019t a secret to success. Through hard work, passion, service and dedication to our industry, we are successful. Without those ideals, we would not know how to achieve success. We believe in striving for excellence, working in fate and enjoying the smallest blessing,\u201d says Lee.<\/span><\/p>\n Hong Kong\u2019s Business Leaders share market and interest intelligence in the pages of HKMVC 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cashmere champion wins global applause for devotion to best-business-practices and commitment to markets.
