Sourcing From Nearby Europe

Although we were initially focused on Far-East  productions, the global health crisis completely rewrote consumer trends and decision cycles. With logistical costs through the roof and exchange rates dwindling, many of our clients preferred more local trade in order to minimise any potential roadblocks. From this, Textifab was born.

As well as our Asian market, we are also delighted to be able to offer you an alternative solution based in nearby Europe. Our sales office in Istanbul, Turkey is the central hub where we deal with all your custom textile and custom bags manufacturing needs. Depending on the specifications of your product, we will get back to you with the best offer with our sourcing in Europe.

Why Choose Sourcing From Nearby Europe?

01

Currency

At Textifab, we have chosen to offer you custom textile and bags sourcing from near-Europe for several key reasons. The first advantage lies in the stability of the exchange rate. Unlike sourcing from Asia where the reference currency is the Dollar, our quotes from near-Europe are more stable and expose you less to exchange rate risks. This allows for longer quote validity periods, which is very useful for long decision cycles.

02

Logistics

Additionally, transport is faster and more reliable when you purchase from our near-Europe factories. Transit to European ports from Asia can take up to 45 days, or even 60-65 days due to container shortages and delays at transshipment ports. In contrast, our garments or bags manufactured in near-Europe can be transported mainly by truck and arrive at your location in just about ten days. From Turkey, the truck is loaded directly onto the boat, and once in Europe, a local carrier takes over for delivery to your warehouse in approximately 12 days.

03

Transportation costs

Regarding the volatility of transport costs, near-Europe transport is also less subject to fluctuation. Say goodbye to last-minute surprises with air freight that doubles in cost! By choosing near-Europe, you benefit from more predictable and manageable transport costs.

04

Carbon Footprint

Another important advantage is the origin of the products. Although all our factories in Asia are certified and audited, some companies prefer not to source from certain Asian countries to optimize their CSR policies. At Textifab, we understand these considerations and offer you near-Europe sourcing solutions, ensuring ethical and responsible production that aligns with your company’s values.

Is It Possible To Manufacture Everything In Nearby Europe?

When it comes to textiles, nearby European countries and especially Turkey are well equipped to manufacture custom made garment. For example, Turkey is a well-established country when it comes to textile production and cotton has been grown there for generations.

Similarly, Turkey is also the proud producer of many knitted products. Textifab can provide high quality garments such as T-shirts, polo shirts or baby clothes. Custom made products are very common and the quality of the branding (either embroidery or screen printing) is outstanding. For example, you are able to personalise exactly what type of stitch you want, as well as any buttons, labels and the inside of the hood without any problems at all. The difference in price is smaller than Asian production, especially for smaller quantities.
Although not as common for nearby European manufacturers, woven garments such as corporate clothing, softshell jackets, trousers or aprons can be produced in Turkey, depending on the level of technical detail. Some rarer materials remain hard to find and must be sourced from Asia but if you wish to focus on local production, we will do our best to provide a competitive offer. Asia is highly competitive when it comes to this area of the market due to their vast range of naturally available materials.

Textifab now offers customized solutions for your professional clothing needs, through our expertise in Turkey. We can help you create healthcare tunics, blouses, aprons, maternity and surgical garments, all designed to withstand industrial washing at high temperatures and equipped with anti-bacterial treatments. We can also produce them according to your Pantone colors and add your custom branding.

In Turkey, we are also able to produce high-quality cotton tote bags and make-up bags. For more complex pieces of luggage such as suitcases or briefcases with multiple compartments, it would be better to choose our Asian sourcing branch.

Through our scope of factories in Poland, we are able to offer you multiple already-made items in stock which include a 100% Made in Europe certification at lower prices. Feel free to contact us, especially for T-shirts, tote bags or jute bags, or even for accessories such as flasks.
