In a recent interview, Giorgi Bogveli, Co-Founder of Boldi Ltd. and the Bogveli Brand, shared insights into the thriving uniform production landscape in Georgia and the significance of the upcoming Fabtex Textile Expo.
With over a decade of experience in the industry, Bogveli emphasized the growing popularity of the clothing and garment sector in Georgia. “We have a solid regulatory framework and government support, which significantly contributes to our business growth,” he explained. His company, Boldi Ltd., specializes in producing uniforms for various industries, benefiting from partnerships with high-quality fabric suppliers, primarily from Turkey.
Bogveli noted the logistical advantages of sourcing materials from nearby Turkey, citing ease of transportation and competitive pricing. “While we also explore opportunities in Europe, visiting suppliers can be costly and complex for many businesses,” he said, highlighting the importance of accessible local exhibitions.
The Fabtex Textile Expo, taking place in Tbilisi, represents a vital opportunity for companies unable to travel abroad to connect with potential partners and suppliers. “This exhibition is instrumental for businesses like ours, allowing us to meet fabric and accessory suppliers in one place,” Bogveli stated.
He also pointed out that Georgia’s production costs are lower than in Europe, bolstered by government initiatives that reduce export taxes. This creates a favorable environment for garment manufacturing, especially in light of recent geopolitical tensions driving European companies to seek partnerships in Georgia.
Bogveli urged textile professionals, buyers, and designers from Georgia and the Caucasia region to attend the Fabtex Textile Expo. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore new collaborations and grow our industry together,” he concluded.
As the textile industry in Georgia continues to expand, events like Fabtex play a crucial role in fostering connections and driving innovation in the sector.
