Gold Fortune Textiles (GFT) is making a mark in the local textiles industry by building its capacity in order to become a world class supplier for manufacturer’s textile needs. The Philippines used to be a major supplier not only of fabrics but also apparel products and GFT, through its 23 year old President and CEO Enrico Sy is positioned to help the industry regain its former glory.
The company recently inaugurated its flagship showroom in Taytay, Rizal. Here, customers can check out their product in a well-lit and comfortable facility and queries can be addresses immediately by courteous staff who are trained in sales. They have also expanded their range of product to keep up with the trends from overseas not only in apparel but also in linens. Sy has likewise harnessed the power of social media to engage and build a customer base that has the distinction of putting a priority on quality products for their apparel brands.
From his parent’s 30 year old RTW business, Sy has transformed the company into a modernized solution to address local entrepreneurs’ textile needs, such as more variety and better quality fabric blends and prints, providing a one stop shop with their accessory products, and customization service for bull orders. “As time went by, we saw a demand and started to upgrade production.
We realized that the Philippines is following fashion trends in countries like Bangkok, so we decided to import different kinds of fabric instead of just pure cotton.”
