Should You Work with an Activewear Factory or a Trading Company?

An activewear factory may offer closer production access, while a trading company may coordinate sourcing across several facilities.

Either model can work if responsibilities, costs, and quality control are transparent. A factory is not automatically cheaper or more reliable, and an intermediary is not automatically a disadvantage.

Ask who makes the garments, who authorizes changes, who conducts inspections, and which company is contractually responsible for the finished order.
