ENGLAND – The UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT) says it’s been buoyed by the response of textile businesses in the North West to its Made Smarter technology adoption programme.
The scheme was created to promote the financial and sustainability benefits of digital manufacturing solutions, and support local firms as they get to grips with the latest technology.
“The textile industry in the North West was at the centre of the first industrial revolution with technological advances enabling cottons, wools, silks and dyestuffs to be produced at unprecedented rates for export around the globe. It is fitting that Made Smarter is now offering its support and expertise to help the same industry embrace the opportunity to lead the fourth industrial revolution,” said the association in a statement.
