iFabric Corp Reports Results for Its Second Quarter Ended March 31, 2021

"I am pleased to report that the Intelligent Fabric Technology (North America) Inc. Division accomplished growth of over 100% compared to Q2 2020, in what is traditionally the weakest quarter of the year for both divisions. The lingerie division's customer base being traditional retailers, has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic numbers. However, USA customers' orders have recently rebounded, indicating a belief of a sustained re-opening. This trend gives us confidence for the balance of 2021. Our current 6-month performance has almost matched the entire revenue for 2020," said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric Corp.
