Overview of Quality Control


Quality cannot be achieved on the Inspection table. It should be produced right from the beginning, which is choosing of raw material, planning of time frame for an operation and teaching the requirement to the workers. Quality is achieved with strong technical quality team.

Quality is achieved by monitoring the manufacturing process, from sourcing the right supplier through final delivery of finished product.

The Tests in knitted and woven fabrics, garments and accessories are conducted as per customers requirement, at reputed laboratory like SGS, ITS.
