textile and apparel industry is one of the leading segments of the Indian economy and the largest source of foreign exchange earnings for India. This industry accounts for 4 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), 20 percent of industrial output, and slightly more than 30 percent of export earnings. The textile and apparel industry employs about 38 million people, making it the largest source of industrial employment in India.

textile and garment industry is booming in India, especially after elimination of the global quota system. Presently India is exporting garments to more than 100 countries including US, EU, Latin America, and Middle East. Last year, garment export was nearly $5000 million and about 1200 million pieces. The main competitors of India are countries like China, Korea, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Sri-Lanka.

Quantum was created as a management buy-out from Coats Viyella in December 2000, currently employing around 5000 people worldwide. Management, headed by Mike Shotton (Chairman), bought-out the manufacturing business which at the time included many UK manufacturing sites and a fledgling overseas manufacturing business . The business has evolved and grown into a 110m turnover operation. Each of the business units have kept to some degree their unique identities, which helps customers and staff to remember the long and proud histories of the UK clothing industry.
