OEM Sportswear Manufacturing

What it means
What OEM sportswear manufacturing means
In OEM (original equipment manufacturing), you own the product: the design, specification and brand. We manufacture it to that specification, so you can sell or distribute it as your own.
You can bring a complete tech pack or a starting point — a reference garment, artwork and target quantities. Either way, the specification is reviewed and agreed with you before anything is sampled or produced.
