During the Texhibition sourcing fair in Istanbul, the Istanbul Garment Exporters Association (IHKIB) announced a collaboration with WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) to boost Turkish garment exports to the US. WRAP, a Virginia-based organization dedicated to promoting safe, compliant, and ethical production in the textile and apparel industry globally, has certified over 3,500 manufacturing companies worldwide.
The partnership between IHKIB and WRAP focuses on a pilot project designed to identify top Turkish apparel exporters to the US and encourage them to obtain WRAP certification. As part of the agreement, WRAP will offer free training, both in-person and virtually, to assist these companies in achieving certification.
