Fashion

Since 1954, when Cheil Industries began its textile business, it has produced cutting edge textiles.
Leveraging on its extensive experience and profound knowledge in the textile business, Cheil Industries expanded its business areas into fashion by launching its first men's wear range in 1989.
Since then, it has consistently diversified its business portfolios into casual wear, ladies' wear and sports wear, completing a total brand that encompasses all fashion sectors.

Having consistently led Korean fashion market, Cheil Industries was the first Korean fashion company to introduce the just-in-time[JIT] system as part of its restructuring efforts, considerably enhancing management efficiency through
reduced lead time in the manufacturing process.
It also made bold moves via consistent brand restructuring initiatives to enter into new business lines that it deems to have high growth potential.
Through these initiatives, Cheil Industries was successful in building a profitable business structure, thereby establishing itself as a leading fashion company.
