China is already one of the largest apparel markets in the world and with e-commerce being the major apparel retail channel, Jianchuang’s focus on softlines, online and its location in Hangzhou, East China’s e-commerce and local brand centre, will be a key benefit to Bureau Veritas.
Jianchuang established its testing business in 2015, and provides a fast service for a wide variety of softline products such as apparel and home textiles. It services hundreds of online brands and thousands of vendors/factories selling within China.
“With the acquisition of Jianchuang, Bureau Veritas acquires a strategically located testing hub in Hangzhou with in-depth local knowledge on e-commerce and local brands and services,” says Catherine Chen, president of Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services (CPS).
