Asahi Kasei Fibers Italia, the distributor of Bemberg™ in Europe, together with its Italian partner Brunello and the Embassy of Japan in the Republic of Mali, participated in a workshop organized by the UNDP to support women dyers in Mali.

This project began when Brunello developed and marketed a product called BemBAZIN™ using Bemberg for BAZIN, a traditional costume in West Cenrtral Africa.Through this workshop, we will contribute to making the traditional dyeing industry more sustainable by identifying social issues faced by the Bazine industry and implementing concrete support in the future.
