Success Story: Premium Flannel Outdoor Brand
Challenge: A premium flannel shirt brand was producing in Portugal through their fabric supplier, but excessive lead times and quality inconsistencies were hurting release dates, cash flow, and customer loyalty. Despite loving their Portuguese fabric quality, the overall production process wasn’t meeting their growth needs.
Solution: We kept their premium Portuguese fabric supplier while moving cut and sew operations to our Honduras partner. By importing their fabric from Portugal to Honduras, we combined the best of both regions—exceptional fabric quality with efficient manufacturing.
Results: Reduced production lead times from 50+ days to 28 days for cut and sew, dramatically improving cash flow and on-time deliveries. The Honduras facility, which produces for major outdoor and workwear brands including Carhartt, Dickies, and Wrangler, delivered superior quality through advanced automation while maintaining competitive pricing.
