MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Each order follows an agreed route shaped by product type, construction, approved sample, inspection needs and destination. REAL IMPEX coordinates the process with in-house capability and partner manufacturing units.
Review cotton, yarn or fibre choices against the intended use, target quality and cost. Count, ply, blend and origin can be specified where relevant.
Buyer controls: material brief and required origin details. We check: feasibility and alignment with the approved specification.
Where applicable, yarn preparation can include spinning or sourcing, doubling, sizing and warp preparation.
Buyer controls: count, ply and blend targets. We check: preparation route and production compatibility.
