Complete Monforts Acquisition Mr. Ji Xin, Chief Operation Officer and Executive Director, Fong’s, brought the news in person to India ITME 2012 to share our joyfulness of 100% acquisition of Monforts. At the end of November, Mr. Ji was in Germany to officially close the deal and from 1st of December 2012, Monforts has been officially a part of the Fong’s Group. The strategic thinking behind is to efficiently utilize the technology and know-how of Monforts in dry and wet finishing processes across the Fong’s Groups.
Fong’s sees huge potential here since India’s knit processing sector is underdeveloped, and there is still large room for growth, shared by Mr. Walter Leung, Sales Director, Fong’s. Traditionally, India has not been aggressive in Knits. It is India’s neighbor Bangladesh that has grown exponentially in knitting and processing. But that country is facing sever energy crisis since the last two years and there is no clarity on when the energy crisis would end. Thus buyers are now increasingly focusing on the Indian Market and knit processing industry in the country. That is the reason why Fong’s also has a number of new ongoing processing projects coming up in the eastern part of the country near Kolkata.

Mr. Walter Leung responded, “Fong’s is also increasingly focusing on developing technology around the “sustainability” issues”, addressing media’s queries regarding the foreseeable future trend and development of Fong’s. Nowadays, for customers who are supplying international clients and brands, their major concerns should be production sustainability. Fong’s has been paying attention to increasing the development on sustainability so that our customer can achieve greener production and meet the environmental and quality standards being demanded by brands. India ITME 2012 surpassed expectations of exhibitors and visitor, so Fong’s did. Of paramount significance as far as Fong’s Groups is concerned is the top priority to enhance technological upgrading and R&D capacity so as to continue serving as locomotive in textile industry for a more cost-effective and greener tomorrow!
