swatchbook Opens swatchbook China
Swatchbook Software Information Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. is open for business; Mr. Jackie Yang, Founder of FMNII has been appointed as Managing Director
IRVINE, Calif., April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- swatchbook, inc today announced the opening of "Swatchbook Software Information Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd.", in short, "swatchbook China", a wholly owned subsidiary by swatchbook inc. The company will be run by Managing Director Jackie Yang, founder and former CEO of FMNII, a consultancy for process and manufacturing improvements for the footwear industry.
"Having a physical presence with local support in China is very important for our business growth," says Sinareet Aye, COO and Co-founder of swatchbook inc and supervisor of swatchbook China. "For most of the fabric mills, the digitization of materials and as such being able to offer a digital swatchbook is a very new concept. Being able to do business with a U.S. company with a Chinese subsidiary that can offer local support will boost their confidence when it comes to making the decision to go digital. And with Jackie Yang and his team, we have a team that is intimately familiar with many of these businesses, their owners and their processes which will further aid in this transformation process."
Strong expertise in digital and non-digital product development
The founders of swatchbook bring in-depth knowledge of tools and processes for digital product development to the table. This expertise has now been expanded through the establishment of swatchbook China by adding deep expertise in process optimization, material development and sourcing, along with deep relationships at all levels with brands, factories and mills.
"Moving from physical materials to digital representations is a big unknown for many mills," says Jackie Yang, Managing Director of swatchbook China. "Having a local presence to work directly with these companies is the only way to succeed. With the combination of our Chinese and U.S. teams and the expertise we have, we offer a unique value proposition for our customers which is pretty much unmatched in the apparel and footwear industry."
Local support for fabric mills and brands
Companies in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have now the opportunity to do business directly with the local swatchbook office. swatchbook China will offer the following:
- Sales of swatchbook's cloud platform for materials

- Services for material scanning and 3D modeling
All service work will be fulfilled by swatchbook service centers which have been in the process of being set up since the end of last year.
Connecting brands, factories and suppliers

Furthermore, swatchbook will bring together brands, factories and suppliers to not only help in their quest for material digitization, but also provide expertise and support in the transition to and implementation of a digital product development process.
