S&P Global has joined the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) as a corporate member. The move, following the merger of IHS Markit with S&P Global in March 2022, enhances S&P Global Commodity Insights’ extensive coverage, which spans chemicals, oil and gas, power, metals, agriculture, and shipping.
ITMF’s Director General, Christian Schindler, expressed pleasure at the partnership, highlighting the mutual benefits of collaboration within the textile industry’s value chain.
Tatiana Bondar, Associate Director at S&P Global, emphasized the strategic advantage of joining ITMF. She noted that access to ITMF’s reports, statistics, and surveys will deepen S&P Global’s understanding of the fiber and textile industry.
Participation in ITMF’s exclusive activities, such as annual conferences and specialized workshops, will provide valuable insights and enhance S&P Global's market proximity. Bondar believes this integration will allow S&P Global’s fibers team, present across EMEA, Asia, and America, to offer significant value to ITMF and its members.
This partnership underscores the importance of being embedded within the industry to access crucial information and expertise, facilitating better service and informed decision-making.
