Japans Skilled Workforce
Japanese Manufacturing is a large industry with over 10% of the country’s GDP coming from textile exports. While Japanese suppliers are widely known for automotive and electronics manufacturing, the garment and apparel industry is also recognised globally for its quality and high-level of craftsmanship. Both local Australian brands as well as international, American brands are looking towards suppliers in Japan for help with their supply chain either in a hands on capacity, or as an example to look at for best practices.
Leather, yarns and textiles including silk have been Japan’s primary exports, although they have been in decline as they too look for overseas manufacturing to influence their supply chains. More recently, medical supplies and the pharmaceutical sector have been the primary exporters of silk-based products.
