Sourcing From Nearby Europe

  • Client
  • Sourcing

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 luggage-making needs. Depending on the specificity of your product, we will get back to you with the best offer.

Why Choose Sourcing From Nearby Europe?

01

Currency

One of the main advantages is the currency exchange rate : even though some of our factories are not within the European Union (Turkey, Bulgaria, Croatia), the majority of trade is still carried out in Euros. That means that our quotes remain valid for longer and you are less likely to run into problems when sourcing from Asia, where the dollar is used in the majority of transactions,  increasing potential costs linked to exchanging money.

02

Logistics

The second advantage is related to transportation. Buying from our factories in nearby Europe means that that delivery time will also be reduced. When shipping merchandise from Asia, it generally takes around 45 days to arrive in European ports. It can even take up to 60-65 days because of container shortages and a lack of equipment on loading docks. When dealing with nearby Europe, it is more common to ship your order using vans and lorries which means that it may only take around 10 days. From Turkey, lorries are loaded straight onto boats and once they arrive in Europe, a local transportation firm can take over and complete the rest of the journey by road. It takes around 12 days for door-to-door delivery from Turkey.

03

Transportation costs

Transportation costs are volatile. Luckily, transportation in nearby Europe is subject to far less fluctuation. So, no more bad surprises when an air cargo company decides to double your freight cost at the last second!

04

Carbon Footprint

One of the final advantages is the origin of the goods. Even though all our factories in Asia are certified and audited, it is still possible that some companies choose not to work with some Asian countries and prioritise nearby Europe in order to reduce their carbon footprint. Textifab strives to take these preferences into consideration and is proud to offer you this alternative.

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.
