History of Bemberg™ in India
Bemberg™ celebrated 90th anniversary with growth in India
In India, Bemberg™ is a familiar fabric that is used for traditional
wear such as sarees and dupatta for more than 40 years now. We
provide support at production sites to ensure that local people are
actively involved at all stages of the value chain, from the
procurement of the raw material (cotton linter) to the distribution of
the final product. We also work to improve technologies, create
employment, and secure stable income.
On our planet, various changes are required to realize a sustainable society.
In the fashion industry as well, it is important to reduce the environmental impact
and build a business model that solves social problems, from the perspectives
of raw materials, production processes, and final products.
Under such circumstances, Bemberg™ has evolved to be
more sustainable by establishing transparent procurement routes
and introducing the closed-loop production system.
Since our founding, we have always adapted to the times and created new solutions.
We will respect our DNA and conduct what only Bemberg™ could do.
