The ASBCI is the only Association to bring together the clothing industry from fibre manufacture to garment manufacture, retail and aftercare. A centre of technical and commercial excellence where companies at the forefront of the specific sectors can discuss, share, and develop practices, processes and initiatives that will benefit their organisations and the UK clothing supply-chain as a whole. ASBCI activities include Technical Seminars, Publications and Technical Visits; a large Student Section with its own Conference, Seminar and Visits, as well as an annual Design Competition and an award for the best Technical/Commercial Dissertation, plus many other activities ... The Association of Suppliers to the British Clothing Industry (ASBCI) was formed in 1992, arising from the British Interlining Manufacturers Association. Since 1992, the ASBCI has grown from 20 members to over 100 including some of the most prestigious names within the clothing and textile industry, forming a huge pool of expertise.
