Australia
Giving Vertex Plus a new lease of life 'down under' is
long-time colleague Denis McAtee, trading as VertexPlus(Australia).
His knowledge of Vertex Plus and its development is truly unmatched.
From his time in the 1990s running Strathclyde Knitwear in Irvine, Scotland,
to his key roles at Skola Uniforms and Black Milk Clothing of Brisbane - who
still run on Vertex Plus - there are few who can bring to bear his level of
expertise. His team's ability to operate VertexPlus on modern PCs using
current operating systems has caught the attention of manufacturers throughout
the area.
His next installation is at Merino Country in Queensland and is eagerly
awaited. If you need to apply the proven methodology of Vertex Plus to
your Production Control environment then don't hesitate to contact Denis.

Cambodia
The push to manufacture overseas gathers pace. Our
many contacts in the 35 countries where VERTEX
can be found confirm that it is not simply cheaper
labour which has made these moves inevitable, but the
much reduced burden of all state-imposed costs. Cheaper
premises, cheaper fuel - often one quarter of that in
the UK - less taxes, less indirect employment costs and
most significant of all - less regulation.
The move by Coats-Viyella which has taken the
VERTEX Plus and Raw Materials Control
modules into Cambodia is typical of a leading British
manufacturing company being forced by its competition
into working overseas. We take heart from the fact that
the production facility employed is "CV" at its core and
not simply a Cambodian factory under contract.

The pace of change in Egyptian Industry is quite
remarkable. We have now had five productive visits to

VERTEX Plus and more are poised to adopt the
system. We are confident that it will serve them well.

RAPIDA Systemas Integrales S A operates from Pallars
105, conveniently situated not far from the centre of
Barcelona. Over the years they have become renowned as

Sri Lanka
The Star Garments Group have worked up their
sixth VERTEX Plus for Windows system. Martin
Emprex (Ceylon) has converted to VERTEX Plus
and the new Viyella Holdings factory in Horana has
similarly adopted VERTEX Plus for production
control as has Jewelknit and Ran Malu. These have
been joined by NNE, Hongkong Knitters and recently
Jay Jay Mills.
VERTEX systems are
leading the way to more efficient manufacturing in this
important sector of the Sri Lankan economy.
Don't forget to consider the CheckMate system which complements
VERTEX and is supplied in Colombo by The Computer
Centre (PVT) Limited, where Ashique Mohamed Ali will be
pleased to help you with all our products. Note in
particular that the new Windows PC-NetCheckMate
real-time monitoring system is now available either as
an upgrade for PC-CheckMate users or as a new

Pakistan
A fortunate meeting at the Bobbin Show in Atlanta led
to further contact with Apparel Technologies in Karachi.
Unfortunately it might be a little while before they can
devote a lot of time to promoting VERTEX. The first
factory to adopt Vertex Plus has been Cuthberts Babywear (Jaguar)
in Faisalabad and we look forward to adding other users in this
important manufacturing area.
This is a major opportunity to introduce
VERTEX to the many apparel manufacturers in
Pakistan and we support with interest the work of Azhar
Hasan and his team, in particular Zafar, in their work.
Truly a case of "watch this space!"

New Zealand
The man "in the know" for all aspects of VERTEX
Plus in New Zealand is Tony Matravers. Long
experience with his own manufacturing of thermal wear
means you get spot-on comment. If you would like to know
more about VERTEX you'll find no better source
than this user. Tony has just taken delivery of the new
'Mozart' for Windows package so is right up to the
latest mark!
Our presence in this part of the world is much
enhanced by VERTEX distributor Craig Kazukaitis
who covers New Zealand, Eastern Australia and Fiji.
Craig has been distributing GSD
systems for years and is a very welcome addition to
VERTEX resources in the area.

Mexico
Mexico remains a primary site for USA companies
manufacturing "offshore" under the 807 program.
Unusually, the first VERTEX Plus for Windows
system has been installed in a Mexican factory by
Courtaulds Bodywear - a branch of Courtaulds Textiles
UK - now Sara Lee.
We await with interest the reaction of USA companies
to this clear and obvious advance into the offshore
arena. VERTEX Plus promises to be just as
effective in Mexico as it has been for Courtaulds in
Morocco.
If you would like to discuss this installation with
us, please contact

Fiji
As a popular location for off-shore manufacturing,
Fiji is now being looked after by Craig Kazukaitis, the
very active VERTEX and GSD
distributor based in New Zealand.
Craig has already installed at Classic Apparel and
demonstrated that the "packaged" format of VERTEX
Plus for Windows makes it an ideal choice for the
Fijian manufacturing environment.

Madagascar
The promotion and support of VERTEX products
in Madagascar comes under the capable hand of Jim Tew at
IOTACS, close by in Mauritius. IOTACS are distributors
for all VERTEX products as well as for Checkmate
and so forth. The considerable experience brought to
bear by Jim Tew is certain to be an asset to clothing
manufacturers over the whole area.
The first manufacturer in Madagascar to adopt
VERTEX is Cosmos Knits, who will be working up
the barcoded production control module over the next few
weeks. They will eventually be using four CCD barcode
scanners to capture factory data.
If you manufacture in Madagascar and would like to
explore the many options Vertex Plus can provide,
please contact us below.

Morocco
The pressure to manufacture overseas is becoming
irresistable. Morocco is a classic example where all
manufacturing costs, not just cheaper labour, make the
bottom line equation unanswerable. Courtaulds (Sara Lee)
and Coats-Viyella (Quantum) operate their factories there
on VERTEX and several other companies look set to
join them.
VERTEX is designed to make shop-floor data
capture and analysis simple and effective. In
particular, its ability to send formatted data for
on-line transmission straight into a database in the UK
puts the daily Moroccan production records on
executives' screens in good time for effective
decision-making. If you want to have this much control
over your Moroccan production units please contact
us about implementing the hassle-free VERTEX
solution. |

Lithuania
We are delighted to announce the appointment of
International Business Network of Vilnius as
VERTEX distributor in Lithuania, where the
apparel industry has a significant share of manufacture
and exporting.
International Business Network has an
established track record in the industry, which can only
benefit from the adoption of VERTEX methodology -
particularly where Western customers seek similar
information and reporting to that available in their
local factories. The first Lithuanian manufacturer to
adopt VERTEX Plus for Windows - the barcoded
production control module - is Silvos Trikotazas.
