Which supplier?
The right factory, not just a factory
Sourcing is often described as simply identifying and selecting suppliers. The key is finding the right supplier for your product. Through The Sourcing Club you gain access to vetted factories already proven on your category — no finding, evaluating and briefing from scratch, no wondering whether they're on the same page.
We introduce you to the suppliers best suited to your product and its variables, so lead times are met, quality is maintained and MOQs land at a cost-effective result.
Which country?
China first — but never China by default
China has traditionally been the country of choice for Southern Hemisphere buyers, and rightly so for many products — especially non-apparel. But we've been sourcing from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Cambodia and Vietnam since early in the century.
We'll advise the best country of manufacture for your product, weighing landed price, quality and lead time — and if the advantage lies outside China, we already have the relationships to place it there.
Quality & value
It starts with the raw materials
Whether fabric, materials or hard goods, quality and value begin at the mill. With access to Tier 1 mills across the globe, your compositions are made with quality at the most affordable cost — and goods are measured against a high AQL standard, whether volume programs or tailored product.
The objective is simple: goods you would expect to pay more for at that level of quality, from ethically accredited suppliers only.
Reliability
Experience you don't have to pay for twice
A million suppliers will claim they can make your goods. Can they do it at the most cost-effective, highest-quality level possible? Our supply chain has endured every speed bump and pothole over three decades — and the lessons are built into how we work today.
Reliability comes from experience, and from manufacturers working only on products they know. Learn from our mistakes so you never have to make them.
