The CCTC is a not-for-profit public/private sector partnership of clothing, textile, footwear, cut-make-and-trim (CMT) manufacturers and retail firms in the Western Cape.  Launched in 2005, the Cape Clothing and Textile Cluster's entire focus is supporting local clothing, textile and footwear manufacturers in their efforts to manoeuvre through the global challenge of competition.  Designed and driven by industry for industry, the focus is relentlessly about value addition for member firms and their employees, our government partners, and society at large.  Membership of the CCTC constitutes approximately 57% of the formal provincial clothing and textiles industry - measured in terms of the employment of member firms relative to national Bargaining Council figures for the Western Cape.

With support from five of South Africa's largest retailers, the Cluster has been able to establish and entrench programmes designed to assist local firms development by accumulating economies of scale through group activities and shared resources.  The benefits of clustering include:

• Generates critical mass of resources
• Shared learning
• Supports the rapid diffusion of ideas
• There is collective action and risk sharing
• Reduced costs
• Enhanced ability to compete on a global platform

Each of the Cluster's three programmes, namely: World Class Manufacturing, Value Chain Alignment and Human Resource Development is aimed at this purpose.  These three programmes have delivered substantial benefit to the regional clothing and textiles industry.  The below image represents a diagrammatic representation of the CCTC's activities for 2010.
