Better Work Jordan, in collaboration with the Jordan Garment, Accessories and Textiles Exporters’ Association (J-GATE), has organised a tour of a major programme-registered factory for a group of fashion designers in a bid to develop their capabilities.
The tour was part of programme efforts to create a learning culture, fostering transfer of knowledge from garment exporting factories to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the country.
The visit aimed to help the designers understand operational, technical, and technological aspects of large-scale garment manufacturing.
The visitors learned about the business, operations, products, and clients of the company, located in Al Hassan Industrial Estate, in the northern governorate of Irbid, as well as the stages of fashion cycle. They are enrolled in DeZain Space, platform supporting local designers with networking, mentorship, and training opportunities.
Company staff and management walked the designers through processes of production and printing facilities, and answered questions about working conditions and environment
“I have visited many factories with various sizes, and this one is the largest I have seen. I did not expect that,” said Ammar Abu Tarbush, a designer who runs an online business.
For Joud Shurrab, who owns a design business, “the visit was very inspiring”.
DeZain Space Managing Partner, Sima Najjar, agreed, saying “it was such an eye opener tour to actually see first-hand how big quantities are made”.
The garment industry in Jordan is primarily driven by large exporting factories who export to the US under the US-Jordan Free Trade Agreement.
