	Floreal Knitwear Ltd is the leading knitwear manufacturer in the African Sub-Saharan Region and is the second largest woolmark knitwear supplier in the world. Floreal produces men's, ladies, and kids wear styles over various knitting gauges.

	Floreal possesses a key competitive advantage through having its own vertically integrated woolen spinning mill (Ferney Spinning Mills), which supplies 70% of its yarn needs. Fine quality yarns are imported from Europe, the Far East and Africa. Knitting, dyeing, finishing, printing and embroidery activities are all carried out in-house.

	As innovators of special finishes and techniques, Floreal Knitwear has built a world-wide reputation for producing machine washable and dryable (Total Easy Care) garments, and continues to invest heavily into the development of new yarns, effects and treatments.

	Floreal Knitwear has also invested in a world class wet processing plant where we process both cotton and wool garment dyeing for quick reactivity.

	Floreal Knitwear is now FL0 certified (ID: 6425) and therefore can produce Fair Trade garments from its Madagascar knitting and finishing operations. Website www.fairtrade.net or https://internal.flo-cert.net/

	Similarly, Floreal Knitwear being vertically integrated with Ferney Spinning Mills is developing the Organic Wool production working closely with Australian Wool Farmers and is considered as a partner in that field.

	Floreal Knitwear's in-house design team develops seasonal collections for customers using the latest trends in yarns and colors. The department also offers a tailor-made design service, working directly with our clients' designers.

	Floreal Knitwear is committed to "Complete Customer Satisfaction" achieved by ensuring that the best quality control techniques are used; the manufactured product follows precise customer specifications and that all orders are delivered on time.

	Our knitwear is exported to renowned European and US retail organizations.

	To offer greater flexibility and reduced lead time, Floreal Knitwear has developed supply chain management and continuous replenishment systems in partnership with its large clients, helping them monitor stock levels and sales forecast.
