Singapore, 12 August 2009 – Crocodile International Pte Ltd, a home-grown
company with over 60 years of experience in the apparel industry, today
signed a sponsorship agreement with the Singapore Youth Olympic Games
Organising Committee (SYOGOC) as the Official Apparel Partner for the
Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games. Some 30,000 technical officials, torch
bearers, torch relay escorts and workforce will be dressed by Crocodile
International.
Mr GOH Kee Nguan, Chief Executive Officer of SYOGOC, says, "I am very happy
that a local small-medium enterprise has come forward to partner us in
organising this inaugural event. The uniform is an important part of the
Games. It not only serves as a form of identification but it will also
reflect our vision of the Games.
What is also significant is that the uniforms will be designed by a
Singapore company. Singapore 2010 is an important global platform for local
companies to promote their products and showcase their capabilities. I look
forward to the partnership with Crocodile International as well as more
local companies coming forward to take part in Singapore 2010."
Mr ANG Boon Tian, Chief Executive Officer of Crocodile Group of Companies,
says, "We are proud to be part of the first Youth Olympic Games. As a
home-grown fashion brand, we are extremely excited about the opportunity
entrusted to us. Our team will strive to incorporate the vibrancy of the
Games with the unique flavour of our country for this coming historic
event. This is a challenge as well as an opportunity to showcase our
capability. We believe that such an association extends our brand from the
fashion arena to the sports arena, and it goes very well with the brand's
ongoing effort to reach out to the younger generation."
As Official Apparel Partner, Crocodile is also licensed to produce and
distribute the official YOG merchandise. These items include apparel and
accessories like caps and eyewear.
