The foundations to our company are quality, reliability and flexibility

QUALITY
We cater towards the higher end of the market and have a strong focus on technology and continual investment in our factories. In 2015 we have invested 0.5million EUROS in cutting edge technology from GERBER. Our quality assurance is extremely thorough with every garment being tripled QC’d. Combined with our attention to detail and highly skilled workforce we stand out in terms of quality. The best evidence of our quality is our client base

RELIABILITY
We see this as an essential part of our service. We recognise it can be frustrating for a client when a manufacturer sets expectations they are unable to meet so this is not how we operate. We are open upfront as to what we can achieve and by when and we are transparent throughout the production process with our clients
The longevity of our client relationships, in some cases over 20 year and many over 10 years is a good indicator of our exceptional service and reliability

FLEXIBILITY
We understand the importance of being a flexible manufacturer given the way the industry is moving. Our goal is to provide flexibility whether it be making small or large orders or reacting quickly to accommodate our clients needs
