We are thrilled to announce that on July 28th, 2018, Pridesys successfully finalized a contract with General Garments in Antananarivo, Madagascar. General Garments is a highly respected US-based company, with a significant presence in Madagascar. The company operates a factory in Madagascar, an administrative office in South Africa, and sourcing offices in Mauritius and China, which solidifies its global supply chain reach. This collaboration with General Garments in Madagascar represents a new chapter for Pridesys, as it is our first ERP project outside of our home country.
The contract officially begins on August 1st, 2018, and will span one year. A team from Pridesys will be stationed in Madagascar starting from the first week of August, with new teams rotating every three months. This strategy ensures that fresh perspectives are continually brought to the project, enabling continuous innovation and steady progress. For us, working with General Garments in Madagascar is more than just another project—it is a significant milestone that we believe will pave the way for future growth in the region.
General Garments’ decision to partner with us marks a major accomplishment for Pridesys, as it highlights the increasing demand for our ERP solutions in new international markets. Madagascar, as a growing hub for textile and garment manufacturing, offers significant potential, and our collaboration with General Garments strengthens our footprint in this region. We look forward to the opportunities that this partnership will unlock not only for our company but also for Madagascar’s rapidly developing business landscape.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to several key individuals who played an essential role in securing this contract with General Garments in Madagascar. Special thanks to Mr. Eugene Havemann, CEO of General Garments, whose leadership was crucial in moving forward with the contract. We also thank Mr. Houssen Rachid Irchad, Executive Director, and Mr. Johan Shaw, CFO of General Garments, for their invaluable support. We are especially grateful to Mr. Rakibul Islam, whose efforts were instrumental in convincing the General Garments management to invest in our ERP product from Bangladesh. Without his determination and dedication, this collaboration in Madagascar might not have been realized.
This successful partnership with General Garments in Madagascar is a significant step forward for Pridesys, and it symbolizes the potential for future growth and expansion into other international markets. Congratulations to our dedicated team, whose hard work and perseverance have brought us to this pivotal moment. By working with General Garments, we are not only enhancing our brand’s reputation but also contributing to Madagascar’s growing role in the global garment industry. We look forward to continued success in Madagascar and beyond, as we proudly represent our company and country on the international stage.
