Epic Group Adapts Operations Amid Tariff Pressures, Geopolitical Headwinds

Apparel manufacturer Epic Group is charting a course through multiple global disruptions as it expands production capacity in South Asia. Founder and Chairman Ranjan Mahtani said the company has weathered pandemic-related supply chain fractures, recent U.S. tariff implementations, and Middle East conflicts that continue to complicate sourcing and logistics networks.

The group's response includes commissioning a new manufacturing facility in India that operates on net-zero carbon emissions principles. This facility represents a strategic shift toward establishing production hubs in regions less exposed to current trade policy volatility while meeting sustainability standards.

Epic Group's diversification strategy underscores how apparel makers are adjusting manufacturing footprints and operational models to absorb tariff costs and mitigate geopolitical risks. Industry observers expect similar moves across the sector as companies recalibrate supply chains.
