Textile and Clothing

Success in the fiercely competitive textile and clothing sectors requires total quality control from the design phase to the shop floor

Manufacturers, retailers, importers and buying agents for textiles and apparel all face challenges in meeting the ever-increasing expectations of consumers for consistent product quality. Keeping up with the latest government regulations also presents new issues for ensuring compliance. In addition, you have to make sure that your network of suppliers provides goods that meet the agreed specifications for quality and quantity.

When it comes to textiles and apparel, consumers have high expectations for consistency, quality and safety. However, pressure to cut costs and the complex interactions of the global supply chain can make it challenging to ensure end-to-end quality control. At the same time, the rapid turnover of fashion cycles places additional demands on companies. With its global expertise and experience in the softlines sector, TÜV SÜD recognises these difficulties.
