Whether it’s your full focus or one leg of your business, contract sewing manufacturers are some of the hardest-working, most resourceful and innovative professionals out there. Your work could serve the automotive, tent and tarp, marine, medical device industries, or anything in-between, and your pain points and challenges are numerous.
TVF Sales Consultant Hummy Truh knows the cut and sew industry like the back of her hand, having started working in shops at age 15 and gaining experience in all facets from the floor to the front office. She says industry connections are telling her more and more contract sewing work is being reshored in the U.S., driving up the need for a suppliers and expertise based here.
“I’ve already had customers that are pulling in their materials from other countries that they’re manufacturing in and bringing them back to the States,” adding that these manufacturers need a partner that can satisfy their tight lead times, have their fabrics in-stock and ready to ship, and possess the expertise and supply chain to meet their specifications, colors, and existing material matching needs. “Honestly, the most important thing to me is to be completely transparent with our customers. It is the best way for us all to gain trust and integrity.”
TVF speaks contract sewing manufacturers’ language and squares away the finest details like whether the usable width of a given fabric hits the mark, the proper yardage or square-footage conversions are met, consistency of loom state (pre-finished or unfinished) and finished goods are ensured, and control samples represent the fabric that will be delivered.
“While it is very important for us to understand the customer’s end-use of the fabric, it is equally important to understand the type of equipment and their overall production goals to ensure we provide a fabric for a perfectly-finished product,” Hummy says.
