What Are the Risks of Relying on a Single Activewear Factory?

Single-factory reliance increases exposure to disruption, capacity constraints, and knowledge concentration.

Supplier resilience depends on documented specifications, transferable rights, controlled approvals, and realistic alternatives. A second source still needs development and qualification, so build the evidence before disruption occurs; compare repeatability and quality alongside cost when deciding how much volume to place with each provider over time. Assess access to patterns and materials.
