Li&Fung has a history of over 100 years, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, producing various brands of jeans such as Lee, Wrangler, Britannia, and Rustler. Li&Fung is one of the oldest export trading companies in Hong Kong's history. In 1906, Mr. Feng Bailiao and Mr. Li Daoming founded Lifeng Trading Company in Guangzhou; It was the first Chinese funded foreign trade exporter at that time.
According to Li&Fung's supplier manual, starting from 2005, any factory that has passed WRAP certification will no longer undergo a second party review by Li&Fung. This is undoubtedly good news for Li&Fung's suppliers. Because obtaining WRAP certification can greatly reduce the number of factory inspections. More department stores or brand distributors may accept WRAP certification later, which can be said to be a one-time solution.
