September 2011: Image Label Systems expands Guangzhou base

  "We have had a business in Guangzhou for several years however we simply outgrew our old premises there" says CEO, David Marshall.

Previously based in the historic PanYu district, Image Label Systems have re-located to Nansha.

"Our new premises give us access to considerably more space, and that's important given the growth we are experiencing" Marshall says. And, he points out, in the context of China's role in global apparel manufacturing.

"China is the world's largest producer and exporter of apparel, and is by a considerable margin the number one sourcing option for Australasian brands. This makes a strong presence in China an essential element for any business looking to provide a total label solution."

"We aim to be a single point provider for customers" explains Marshall, "and in our view that means having production and distribution as close as possible to our customers supply chain".

"With China such a dominant player today, having our own business there has given us a real edge. It gives us control and flexibility, and ultimately they are the deciding factors in delivering a successful solution."
