Vietnam is quickly emerging as one of the largest global exporters of garments and textiles. In 2019, a study trip to Vietnam was planned for students to increase their knowledge of the intimate apparel and activewear industry in Hanoi. Unfortunately, the trip was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The trip finally proceeded in May 2023. With the support of the PolyU Global Engagement Office, Dr Joanne Yip - SFT Associate Dean, Dr Yick Kit-lun, and Dr Huang Tsai-chun led a group of BA students from different disciplines on a 5-day study tour from 14 May to 18 May 2023 to Hanoi.
During this tour, 35 students and staff members visited six well-known manufacturers with a rich history, including Best Pacific Vietnam Company Limited, Crystal Martin (Vietnam) Company Limited, Mayfair Garment Factory Limited, Pioneer Elastic (Vietnam) Ltd., Regina Miracle International (Vietnam) Co., Lt. and Texco Industrial (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. These factories are dedicated to the production of intimate apparel, for example, elastics, hooks and eyes, bra cups, panties, etc. They showed our students and staff members the lean production method, automation, along with other technologies including ultrasonic welding, form moulding, seamless bonding, and many more.
SFT is committed to offering more study tours for our students, so they not only gain knowledge from the textbooks and lectures, but also connect with the industry for their future career networks. We appreciate the hospitality of the factories, and look forward to visiting more industry partners in the near future.
