§ 01 / Why near-shore

The case for making it in Europe, not in Asia.

Same factory floor, five reasons brands move production closer to home.

01

Days, not weeks

We sit a short freight route from Northern Europe. Reorders and corrections move in days — not on a container schedule measured in months.

02

Minimums that fit

We take the run sizes large Asian factories turn away — room to test a style, scale what works, and not bury capital in stock.

03

European standards

Certified materials, audited conditions, ethical labour. Compliance you can put in front of your own customers without a footnote.

04

One partner, full run

Development, cutting, sewing, printing, embroidery, finishing and dispatch under one roof — one point of contact from sketch to shipped boxes.

05

Duty-free into the EU

Goods that qualify for Serbian preferential origin enter the EU at 0% import duty under the SAA — with EUR.1 or an origin declaration in the paperwork. A cost imports from Asia can't avoid.

§ 02 / Capabilities

§ 04 / Services

How we work with you.

Take the whole package off our hands, or just the machines. Your call.

Full-package · FOB

We handle everything

You bring the design. We source the fabric and trims, develop the sample, produce the run, finish and ship it. One price, one partner, finished goods at the door.

CMT

You supply, we make

You provide the materials and tech pack. We cut, make and trim to spec, with our quality control on every line. The fastest route when you already control your supply.

Development

Sampling & patterns

Pattern making, grading and pre-production samples until the fit and finish are signed off — before a single production metre is cut.

In-house finishing

Printing

High-quality print on every material, in your size and colours — eco-friendly water-based or oil-based inks.

In-house finishing

Embroidery

Embroidered labels, appliqués and emblems on any product we make, tailored to your brand.

Partner service · Turkey

Garment & piece dyeing

The partner works to OEKO-TEX 100, ZDHC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, SA 8000 and GOST-R standards.
