Today, we also supply CAD system, automatic cloth spreading machine system and PLM system. There are more than 6000 customers in the Asia Pacific region.

In 1980, Arthurs predicted market expansion opportunities in the Asia Pacific region through statistical data and market research, and planned to enter the Asia Pacific market. He set up a distributor in Japan and set up an office in Hongkong to provide support for agents in other countries in the Asia Pacific region. He also established operations in Latin America, Africa and the former Soviet Union.

Starting from the application automation solutions of many enterprises, Gerber provides them with support to improve their productivity and profitability. "We grew up with dozens of small garment factories and helped them develop into millions of dollars," Arthurs said. "Compared with many other CAD/CAM suppliers who are active in the Asia Pacific region, Gerber is famous for its innovative products, and its stable and sustainable management team has always been praised. Many people are proud to work at Gerber and serve Gerber's customers for more than 20 years."

"Gerber is always agile and forward-looking, and understands the importance of customers to our needs." Arthurs added. "The clothing industry has changed in many areas. Because our customers are keen on automation, we form partners with them to understand the challenges they face and provide solutions to help them start and maintain profitability. As they grow, our product solutions, operators and support capabilities have grown accordingly.

Moreover, there are one billion and three hundred million people here, and domestic consumption is and will continue to be one of the main driving forces of clothing production.

We also want to become long-term partners with our customers, provide our companies and industry experience to them and help them improve their profitability." {page_break}

Arthurs concluded: "many of the challenges facing the apparel manufacturers in the Asia Pacific region are many years ago that manufacturers in some parts of the world have experienced and overcome them. The cost of labor and materials is rising, and big brands have more demand for suppliers than ever before. The challenge is to produce more at lower cost, and at the same time improve quality. Such a requirement can only be achieved through application automation. Admittedly, trust built up by close interpersonal relationships over the past decades is a good foundation. Through hard work, we have developed good cooperative relations with our clients. They rely on our solutions to develop their own companies, nurture their families, and fulfill their family and social responsibilities. Therefore, we are indeed a light duty.
