A Structured Manufacturing Process for Professional Textile-Product Projects
Every project is evaluated individually according to its technical requirements, preparation needs, expected production volume and target schedule.
Our role is to manufacture approved sewn products according to defined project inputs and responsibilities.
Is Your Project Suitable for ITH Group?
We primarily work with professional B2B customers requiring recurring production, larger quantities or technically defined sewn products.
Suitable enquiries may include
- Sportswear collections and repeat garment production
- Marine upholstery-cover programmes
- Hotel and serviced-apartment textile projects
- Event and branded textile products
- Projects combining more than one ITH division
Our primary focus does not include
- Consumer tailoring
- Clothing alterations
- Residential made-to-measure sewing
- Standalone fashion or product design
- One-off private orders without a commercially suitable production scope
We do not publish one universal minimum order quantity. Every enquiry is evaluated according to the product, preparation requirements, quantity, timing and repeat-production potential.
Initial Project Review
The first stage is to understand what must be manufactured and whether the project fits our current capabilities.
We typically review:
- Product type
- Estimated quantity
- Project location
- Intended application
- Required delivery date
- Available samples or documentation
- Material responsibility
- Expected future or recurring demand
Where necessary, a project may involve more than one ITH division.
Technical Information and Manufacturing Basis
Production must be based on sufficient approved technical information.
Depending on the product, this may include:
- A physical sample or reference product
- An approved pattern
- A technical specification or technical pack
- Drawings and dimension tables
- Artwork and branding requirements
- Construction and sewing details
- Material and component specifications
- Labelling and packing instructions
We manufacture according to approved technical information. Product design and standalone pattern development are not standard services.
Material Responsibility
The parties must agree before production who is responsible for fabrics, components and approvals.
Customer-supplied model
Customers are welcome to supply approved materials and components. This generally provides the clearest control over:
- Material quality
- Colour and specification
- Continuity between production runs
- Supplier responsibility
- Replacement availability
Sourcing-support model
Where suitable, ITH Group may discuss sourcing selected materials or components through established partners.
Availability, samples, approvals, lead times, payment responsibility and continuity must be agreed for the project.
We cannot guarantee that every requested material or component can be sourced through our supplier network.
Samples and Pre-Production Approval
Depending on the product and available documentation, an approval sample or prototype may be required before serial manufacturing.
The sample stage may be used to confirm:
- Construction
- Dimensions
- Workmanship
- Materials and components
- Branding position
- Product identification
- Packing requirements
Sample production may involve additional cost.
Serial manufacturing begins only after the required sample, technical solution or reference standard has been approved by the responsible party.
Production Planning
After the technical basis and responsibilities are confirmed, the project is prepared for production.
Planning may include:
- Final quantities
- Product and size variants
- Material availability
- Preparation requirements
- Production capacity
- Quality-control points
- Identification and packing logic
- Delivery phases
- Target schedule
Dates and production capacity are confirmed according to the final approved scope, not only the initial enquiry.
Manufacturing According to the Approved Requirements
Production is carried out using the agreed materials, components, samples and technical information.
Depending on the product, manufacturing may involve cutting, preparation, sewing, assembly, component installation, finishing and product identification.
The exact manufacturing sequence is defined by the accepted product and project requirements.
In-Process and Final Quality Control
Quality checks are carried out during production and before final packing according to the agreed product standard.
Depending on the project, inspections may include:
- Measurements
- Seam and sewing quality
- Construction details
- Component placement and operation
- Branding and label accuracy
- Variant and product identification
- Set completeness
- Packing conformity
Where required, quality results can be documented, including inspected quantities, identified defects, corrections and final accepted quantities.
Manufacturing defects attributable to our production are handled according to the agreed commercial and quality terms.
Packing Organised Around the Project
Packing and identification can be adapted to the operational needs of the project.
Products may be organised:
- By product type
- By size or colour
- By model
- By set
- By room or apartment
- By boat
- By location or event
- By delivery phase
Special identification, labelling or packing requirements must be agreed before production.
Transport and Delivery
Finished products are prepared for shipment according to the agreed packing and delivery structure.
Transport may be:
- Organised by the customer
- Collected from an agreed location
- Coordinated by ITH Group through a logistics partner
Transport method, costs, responsibilities, insurance requirements and delivery timing are agreed separately for the project.
Additional Assessment Where the Project Requires It
Larger or technically complex projects may require additional assessment before production.
This may be relevant where the project involves:
- Numerous locations or room types
- Large or irregular structures
- Measurements that cannot be verified from documentation
- Complex installation conditions
- Several coordinated product categories
- Phased production or delivery
An on-site assessment may be considered following prior agreement.
Site assessments:
- Are not included automatically
- Are evaluated according to project size and technical need
- May involve travel, accommodation and other costs
- Depend on scheduling and available personnel
- Should be discussed early enough to protect the required project deadline
Straightforward projects supported by approved samples or complete technical documentation generally do not require a site visit.
Clear Inputs and Responsibilities Before Production
ITH Group may be responsible for the agreed
- Manufacturing
- In-process and final quality control
- Product identification
- Project-specific packing
- Production communication
- Transport coordination where included
The customer or appointed project partner may be responsible for
- Product specifications
- Samples and patterns
- Measurements and drawings
- Artwork and branding approval
- Supplied materials and components
- Fit or installation approval
- Final commercial approval
- Delivery and installation instructions
The final responsibility structure is confirmed for each project before manufacturing begins.
