- Maintaining High Service Levels
Outstanding service and adherence to promises, linked
to short lead times and production flexibility.
- Offering Global Availabilty
Financial and managerial control of all global manufacturing
operations. ITL owns 100% of all its manufacturing operations except
in North America. This allows for consistent quality standards, compliance
to specifications and cross-sourcing flexibility to improve response
times.
- Growing its Accreditations with
International Chain Stores
Not only does ITL continue to grow our accreditations
to major international retail chain groups for the supply of labelling
, but most importantly we also maintain them!
- Being a Vertically Integrated
Textile Manufacturer
This provides competitive advantages in the production
of both fabric care labels and woven labels. The group has fully integrated
paper and ticketing facilities in all locations which makes it one of
the few global label suppliers to offer a “one-stop” labelling
service in the form of a “label shopping basket”.
- Process and Product Innovation
Maintaining an internal research and development
department that focuses on building hi-tech machinery to keep the group
at the forefront of manufacturing technology. Product innovation, particularly
in the field of woven and printed labels, is a major focus.
- Packaging Innovation and Design
Introduction of a centralised business unit model with
co-manufactures in key off shore locations to ensure timely delivery of
packaging materials at lowest delivery cost without compromising quality
standards. ITL has employed qualified technical executives to manage retailer
requirements and expedite new designs. Our executives are available to call
directly on decision makers at retail level and to then deal directly with
specialist packaging unit mangers in our operating sites. This provides
exceptionally quick response both in securing approvals and delivery execution
to garment suppliers.
- Compliance with Local and International Labour and Environmental Law
Maintaining compliance with local and international
labour and environmental laws. This is seen as the cornerstone of our
commitment to good business practice.

our competitive edge in terms of non-scratch labels derives from this
obsession.

do” service culture.
