Clothing manufacturers to Russia


The Russian clothing manufacturers have decided to move on their domestic industries. Owing to the increase in value of major world currencies, several representatives of Russian light industry firms stated that the cost of making clothing in Chinahas increased by 80-85%. So, therefore the domestic factories in Russia have an opportunity to increase their share in domestic retail trade.

Some major clothing firms have already started the process.
Kira Plastinina, the network of clothing stores for young people have already initiated the sewing planning and they are planning to expand it. The majority of the company’s orders are placed in Chinese factories, but it will shift its orders to Russian factories.The  company “I will be a mom” expects to increase the share of its products which are made in Russia to increase from 60% to 85%.



According to Andrey Razbordin, the president of the Light Industry Union, this trend is a cause for optimism. “Domestic sewing factories are fully competitive. Right now they have a decent chance to start manufacturing at home. We are following in the footsteps of European companies which used to place all of its manufacturing in China, but are now actively returning it home, because of the convenience,” emphasizes Razbordin.
