Dear Friends,

The companies listed below were reportedly sourcing at the Spectrum-Shahriyar factory just prior to its collapse on April 12, 2005".

The columns in the table indicate the name of the company (owner of brand), the brand or label name, the country in which the company is based, and whether or not it was confirmed that the company in question was sourcing at Spectrum and/or Shahriyar.

Information that these companies and brand names were sourcing at the factory was compiled from various sources (please see the Clean Clothes Campaign website for background information).

In some cases the companies or brands themselves confirmed that they were sourcing at Spectrum-Shahriyar. In the remaining cases, either labels from the other brands were found at the site following the collapse of the factory building or local sources provided information about companies and brands they believed were sourcing at Spectrum-Shahriyar at the time of the collapse. It is our understanding that both Spectrum and the adjacent Shahriyar factory were owned by the same person and according to our sources, they shared certain production facilities. For this reason we've included both factories in this list.

The CCC has not yet been able to contact all the brands and companies listed in this table due mainly to incomplete information. We would appreciate any help you can provide in identifying these companies/brands/labels that were reportedly sourcing at Spectrum-Shahriyar. If you recognize any of the companies or brands or have any additional information on the companies or brand/labels included in this table, please send your comments to the CCC at info@cleanclothes.org.
