-【HKAS 24th Annual General Meeting (January 12, 2026)】- Post-Event Remarks

 The Hong Kong Apparel Society (HKAS) successfully held its 24th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Friday, January 12, 2026, at the Yau Yat Chuen Garden Club.

 

On behalf of the Executive Committee and Directors, the Secretariat extends heartfelt gratitude to all distinguished guests, especially the Executive Committee and Directors of the HK & Kowloon Textile Fabrics Wholesalers Association, as well as our members for their continuous support and encouragement.

 

The meeting commenced with an opening address by President Banny, who expressed special appreciation to the 13 Executive Committee members and Directors serving the 2024–2026 term. Their dedication and contributions over the past year have been invaluable to the Society and its members. President Banny encouraged everyone to continue working together for the advancement of the industry.

 

Following this, Hon. Treasurer Cherise presented the financial report for the Fiscal Year 2024, while President Banny reviewed the Society’s activities for the past year.

 

This year’s AGM featured a keynote presentation by Mr. Max Law, Sales Manager of Coats Digital Limited, on the topic “How AI & GSD Method Can Empower Garment Manufacturers on Achieving Manufacturing Excellence.”

 

Mr. Law not only introduced Coats Digital’s solutions but also explained the complex systems in a clear and accessible manner. He demonstrated how Artificial Intelligence can enhance cost efficiency, particularly through the use of GSD to calculate Standard Minute Values (SMV) and improve production efficiency. His presentation sparked great interest among participants, many of whom expressed eagerness to learn more.

 

The meeting concluded with a delightful luncheon, yet the atmosphere of exchange and networking remained vibrant. Although the venue was scheduled to be returned by 2:30 p.m., exchange amongst members continued until after 3:00 p.m., reflecting the enthusiasm of the attendees.

 

We look forward to meeting everyone again at next year’s AGM. For those interested in becoming members and participating in our upcoming activities, please contact the Secretariat at +852 2959 2250 or via email at secretariat@hkapparel.com.hk.
