About UsBraiform is our brand name. It signals the global integration of our Braitrim, Plasti-form and Spotless Plastics businesses. Our singular structure enables us to think globally, act locally, get to market faster and provide more competitive and innovative garment hanger products and programs. Braiform partners with retailers and garment manufacturers providing either industry standard or bespoke garment hanger solutions. We manage garment hanger logistics, from the development of innovative design concepts and quality manufacture, to timely and cost competitive global distribution. We make it easy for our partners to focus on retailing. We enhance the retail experience. Our garment hangers reinforce point of purchase strategies, reflecting brand values and presenting merchandise in uniform and user friendly ways whilst enhancing displays. We simplify retail operations. Braiform¿s global footprint is second to none; We operate in over 30 countries and employ more than 1,000 people. Our low cost, end-to-end supply chain achieves significant procurement and distribution efficiencies. Garment manufacturing is a global business. Braiform¿s production, warehousing and distribution hubs are strategically located to minimise logistics costs and increase speed to market. As the Retail Sector moves garment hanger production around the world, often to countries that present significant operational challenges, we have the flexibility to adjust our footprint to meet their needs. Braiform is a lead provider of Garment On Hanger (GOH) programs globally. By subscribing to a GOH program, retailers enjoy the benefit of reduced costs as the transport hanger doubles as an in-store display hanger. Braiform is also the industry pioneer of re-use programs globally. By adopting a re-use program, retailers extend the lifespan of a garment hanger beyond single use. At our dedicated reuse facilities in the USA, UK and China, returned hangers are cleaned, re-packed and re-distributed ready to be used again. The economics of reusing garment hangers compares favourably to manufacturing single use hangers. A re-used garment hanger is also environmentally sustainable, curbing consumption rates of raw materials and reducing overall carbon emissions. |

Happenings / News / Press CoverageGDP figures likely to show zero growth
Higher prices and snow deterred shoppers but job fears, higher prices and VAT rise also likely to hold back economy in 2011
Figures out this week are expected to show that Britain's economy came to a virtual standstill in the last three months of the year.
GDP data on Tuesday will show the economy slowed from 0.7% in the third quarter to 0.2% or even zero in the run-up to Christmas, economists say.
Last week the Office for National Statistics said December's retail sales were flat on the previous month – the worst pre-Christmas performance since 1998. Many shops blamed the snow for the slump in sales but the ONS said higher prices had also deterred shoppers.
Chris Williamson, of the economics consultancy Markit, said underlying fears of unemployment and the effects of the government's public spending cuts were also stopping households from spending.
Other areas of the economy have also seen weak sales and a downturn in confidence. Construction, which grew strongly in the first half of 2010, has gone back into recession in recent months, while surveys of the services sector, which makes up 70% of the economy, have shown it weaken.
Manufacturing has held up, but only in those parts of the sector benefiting from the export boom. However, many manufacturers have reported a jump in input prices that will eat into their profits if they cannot pass them on.
Shops are warning of a difficult six months following the rise in VAT to 20%. Many retailers expect a dramatic slowdown as rising inflation and the tax rise eats into household incomes.
Small and medium-sized businesses say the VAT rise will hit cash flow and increase their need for bank lending.
However, lending figures from the Bank of England and the Council of Mortgage Lenders only added to the gloom. Bank officials said lending to businesses shrank by £5bn in the three months to November. The CML reported a dive in mortgage lending as sales remained subdued.
CML data showed the total number of homes sold in the UK in 2010 rose slightly to 884,000 but remain half of the volumes traded in 2006 and 2007, when more than 1.6m were sold each year.
