He further added, “Our economy brand 'World player' has been received well in all cities where it has been launched. Our international operations have also started contributing substantially to our top lines. SKNL's US subsidiary HMX enables tremendous backend frontend synergies within the group given the quality and diversity of its brand portfolio.
“Plans for the HVFC facility are on schedule and operations have gained momentum during the quarter. Exports to Leggiuno have commenced thus marking the successful implementation of our backward and forward integration strategy. Moreover, we are making good in-roads with the DKNY menswear business and we see excellent potential in the men's global apparel business going forward. “
