Quality control

Strategic manufacturing

Precision at every stitch, consistency in every roll.

We knit on 57 circular machines — SsangYong, Samkwang, Changdae, Sames, Seong Yong and Kumyong — run by Guatemalan technicians who have spent years at it. From yarn intake through knitting to roll-by-roll inspection, the process is the same every day, which is exactly what a buyer needs it to be.

Being in Guatemala means weeks, not months, to the US market, and duty-free entry under CAFTA-DR.
