Top-quality garment finishing

WKS Bulgaria EOOD, based in the southern Bulgarian town of Kardzhali, has embarked on a joint venture with Denim Village, a full-service premium supplier of denim garments from Saray in Turkey. WKS Bulgaria belongs to Wilsumer WKS Textilveredlungs-GmbH, an international provider of quality assurance services for fashion and lifestyle products, which is part-owned by the Osnabrück-based fashion logistics company Meyer & Meyer. 

WKS and Denim Village establish joint venture in Bulgaria

 

Wilsum, 27 September 2016. WKS Bulgaria EOOD, based in the southern Bulgarian town of Kardzhali, has embarked on a joint venture with Denim Village, a full-service premium supplier of denim garments from Saray in Turkey. WKS Bulgaria belongs to Wilsumer WKS Textilveredlungs-GmbH, an international provider of quality assurance services for fashion and lifestyle products, which is part-owned by the Osnabrück-based fashion logistics company Meyer & Meyer. The new joint venture offers customers top-quality finishing processes, with expertise in premium blue denim. Denim Village has previously worked with labels such as Replay, Levis, Diesel and Scotch & Soda. 

 

A 6,000 m2 washing and dyeing facility for finished garments has been established in Kardzhali. “It has enormous capacity for finishing operations, and means we will be able to offer our customers even more services in the future,” says Hadi Karasu, General Manager of Denim Village. The plant features numerous high-tech machinery – from special lasers to spraying robots. All the equipment will be operational within the next few weeks. “High-quality blue denim finishing really is a fine art, involving a complex process and lots of technology. For instance, finishing a pair of jeans can require up to 13 steps. Denim Village has an excellent reputation and many years’ experience in the premium denim sector, so we’re delighted to have them on board as a partner,” says WKS Managing Director Dr Wilfried Holtgrave. To ensure the joint venture consistently offers its customers the best possible services, additional staff will attend a specially developed training programme that is already up and running. “We expect our partnership in Bulgaria to create up to 150 new jobs,” predicts Holtgrave. Following its successful rollout, there may be further expansion at other international sites.
