GENERAL

 

Having issued 100,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, Global Apparel Solutions Ltd. is wholly owned by TCNS Ltd. [TCNS] which is an India‑based firm.

The subject does not have its own operating office.  Its registered office is in a commercial service firm located at Room 2401A, 24/F., Park-In Commercial Centre, 56 Dundas Street, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong known as Success Business Centre which is handling its correspondences and documents.  The subject has no employees in Hong Kong.

TCNS is a garment trader which was set up in 1982.  It has had an associated factory in Bangladesh known as Bangladesh Global Apparel Solutions Ltd. [Bangladesh GASL] which was founded in 1972.
