Manufacturing network

A network built around your product.

Different manufacturing partners suit different products. We match each knitwear brief to the capabilities available through our sourcing network — yarn, knitting, processing, decoration and garment making — starting in Tiruppur.

Knitting process

Knitted fabric is usually produced on circular knitting machines — single jersey, rib, interlock, computerised jacquard or auto-stripe — then processed and cut. Each hand-over is a checkpoint.
