Materials & Components
Your industry, our focus
The quality of components and materials is critical to the quality of a textile, footwear and leather product. Defective or poor quality components and materials could be the root causes of product failure and safety issues, customer complaints and recalls, incurring financial costs and brand damage to the sellers.
To prevent issues at an earlier stage, buyers and suppliers should look into the quality of the components and materials before manufacturing begins, based on the end-use expectation, quality and safety requirement from regulations in the destination markets.
