Drapes, valances, vertical blinds, awnings are just some of the top-class items that are manufactured right here in Jamaica.

Classic Interiors Limited has been in this business since 1983 and has had a successful run in its over 23 years of operation - supplying most of its supplies of drapes, sheets etc. to the local hospitality industry.

After some two decades later, the hospitality industry has created another opportunity for Classic Interiors Limited and many others to get an opportunity to supply and to become more competitive in the export market. This time however, it is the expansion of the tourism sector, with new investor injections, which has created this opportunity.

Classic Interiors Limited recently won a contract to supply the 400 rooms of the Rosehall Resort Project, The Blackstone Group - owners of the former Wyndham Rosehall Resort now referred to as the "Rosehall Resort and Country Club".

Jamaica Promotions Corporation's (JAMPRO's), Executive Director, Services, Lisa Bell thinks "the real value of the Linkages programme is evident and we feel pleased to be associated with its success."

JAMPRO in its planning organised workshops and seminars which sought to highlight ways to foster increased competitiveness of local firms with emphasis on those providing goods and services for the hotel sector. The sessions also provided investors with information on local suppliers and resources available to local firms when undertaking their projects.

One of the key items the seminars provided was information that will help suppliers know the quality, type and specifications of goods hotel investors are looking for; and to establish a sustainable base for local companies to enjoy linkages with companies in the tourism sector.

Classic Interiors Limited located on the South coast of Jamaica, has a factory space of 5,000 square feet and employs 25 persons.

A spokesperson from Classic Interior pointed out that the fabric is the only thing that is imported and "everything from the upholstery to the finished product is done in Jamaica."

Classic Interior promises to do even more in the manufacturing business as the plant will be expanded by end of year 2006.
