Bra manufacturer in top form with 4th factory

HONG KONG: Top Form International Ltd, a Hong Kong bra maker that supplies brands including Calvin Klein and Maidenform, plans to increase manufacturing capacity as retailers in the US and Europe restock and demand rebounds.

Top Form, which has almost tripled in market value over the past year, may build a fourth factory in the mainland, Chairman Willie Fung Wai Yiu said. He declined to say when it may be built.

"Rising costs are a concern but China, especially for our trade, still comes ahead in that the quality and skill levels are higher," Fung said. "Right now, our priority is to rebuild our capacity because we see that demand is coming back."
