Show Notes

This is part one of our conversation with Matthew Wallace, CEO of DXM. The episode is co-hosted by Gaur Sharma, Senior Manager for Organizational Development at Shahi Exports and Co-Founder of SUSS.

DXM is a local, on-demand manufacturing company that’s co-owned by different supply chain actors. There are five founding partners: Shahi Exports, Brandix, MAS Holdings, and Busana Group, and Carhartt.

In this episode, part one of our chat, Matthew shares a bit about his family’s history in the world of fashion, and how that’s led to what he’s doing now. We then get into what, exactly, DXM does, and what the impetus for its founding was.

I published this some time ago, but given the themes of this episode, it seems like an appropriate time to bring it back: Why Shared Financial Risk is the Key To Radically Transforming the Fashion Industry.

Are you a manufacturer? Join for an exclusive, unrecorded, informal, supplier meet-up I’m organizing together with the Asia Garment Hub about the Sustainable Terms of Trade Initiative (the supplier led-call for minimum standards on purchasing practices) on Monday 8 November at 8AM CET / 1PM Dhaka / 2PM Phnom Penh / 3PM Hong Kong. Miran Ali will share a couple of updates, and the rest of the session will focus on Q&A.
