A brand changing factory is rarely doing it because the last one could not sew. It is doing it because a delivery date moved, or the third run came back a different shade, or a retailer asked for an audit document that never arrived. Those are the three things this page is about.

Our account managers reply in your own language, within 24 hours on working days.
Up to 2,500 finished garments a working day, around 55,000 a month, and bulk production holds at 10 to 14 days at that scale rather than stretching. A standing programme is booked against a written production calendar issued at order confirmation, with fabric reserved ahead of each run so the calendar survives contact with the season.
ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 27001 for information security, ISO 28001 for supply chain security, and a Sedex SMETA ethical audit. Tell us which one your buyer or your retail channel requires and the document itself goes out with the quote, rather than a logo on a web page. For most listed retailers a social compliance audit is not a preference, it is the gate.
The approved sample sets the standard for the line and every repeat is matched back to it rather than re-interpreted from the artwork. The third delivery looks like the first, which is the difference between a programme and a series of separate orders that happen to share a design.
The standing library runs from a 100 GSM rain shell to a 380 GSM modal blend, and it is a starting point rather than a limit — we knit to your composition and weight. Ask for 68% polyester / 32% elastane at 195 GSM and that is what gets made. Every quote states yarn construction, composition and GSM with its tolerance, so the specification is a document rather than a conversation.
Custom woven neck labels, printed care and wash instructions, hangtags, polybags and branded cartons, all applied in-house, with barcodes and size stickers where your retail channel needs them. No Wolvate branding appears on the garment, the polybag or the carton.
The ten-piece minimum is the entry point, not the size of the business. The same floor, the same fabric library and the same inspection handle a capsule test and a season-long contract, so a brand that doubles does not have to start the qualification process over with somebody new.
Yes. The floor runs up to 2,500 finished garments a working day, roughly 55,000 a month, and bulk production holds at 10 to 14 days at that volume rather than stretching. The programme is booked against a written production calendar and fabric is reserved ahead of each run.
We hold a Sedex SMETA ethical audit alongside ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and ISO 28001. Name the standard your retail channel asks for and the document goes out with the quote, in time to be attached to your own submission.
That is what the approved sample is for. It sets the standard for the line and each repeat is produced against it rather than re-interpreted from artwork, so the runs sit together on a rail without an obvious shift.
Then we produce to it exactly as supplied. Where the specification names a composition and weight we do not hold in the standing library, the yarn is knitted to it rather than substituted for the closest thing on the shelf.
Far enough that fabric can be reserved before the run, which depends on the composition and the quantity rather than on a fixed number of weeks. Tell us the drop date and the quantity and the calendar is written backwards from it, so the booking window is agreed before the order rather than discovered during it.
The production calendar is written in advance and revised in writing, not verbally. Headroom exists — the floor is sized for 2,500 a day — so an increase is a scheduling question rather than a capacity one, and the answer comes back with a date attached.
Distance, mostly. Bulk runs 10 to 14 days and road freight into the EU is measured in days rather than weeks, so a season can be committed later and corrected faster. Sampling rounds close in days rather than shipping cycles, and an account manager answers in your own language within 24 hours.
