Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers Association (North Zone) has elected Faisal Mheboob Sheikh, Farrukh Iqbal and Rafi Sony unopposed as chairman, senior vice chairman and vice chairman respectively for the year 2020-21.
The newly-elected executive committee also appointed Adil Butt as the chief coordinator of the PHMA- the former chairman of the Association.
According to a press release issued here, the PHMA zonal committee, in its meeting held in Lahore, also approved the results of the elections.
The new zonal chairman Faisal Mheboob Sheikh, in a statement, termed the knitwear industry as number one in the ranking of export-products. He vowed that value-added textile industry was ready to work closely with the government with a view to enhance the exports and revive growth momentum.
Faisal Mheboob Sheikh called for giving a boost to the export sector by adopting diversified marketing techniques and extending practical support to the industry, and asked the knitwear and garment exporters to prepare themselves for meeting the global challenges so that momentum of exports could not only be maintained, but also new opportunities be fully exploited. On this occasion, the newly-appointed chief coordinator Adil Butt pointed out that entire textile sector is presently under disarray owing to high cotton yarn prices owing to its shortage in the country.—INP
