It’s a constant challenge for sportswear brands to find fabric suppliers that meet their requirements for quality, sustainability, and innovation. Difficulties can include:
● Lack of reliable suppliers with high technological standards.
● Shortage of options close to the U.S. and Canada with easy communication and logistics.
● Lack of transparency in manufacturing processes, which makes quality control difficult.
● Absence of international certifications that guarantee safety and sustainability in the textiles.
