How curious are you feeling right now? You’re about to get the scoop on our major production locations and how those hotspots can give you a strategic advantage (in more ways than you might think!).
When it comes to garment label partners, location is everything. Well, maybe not everything, but it’s a huge factor in brand performance. For example, at Checkpoint, we have world-class facilities in all the major garment and textile locations (and a few more, just to be sure). That means no matter who you are or where you manufacture, you'll have a local label expert nearby.
Access to an incredible label facility close to needlepoint also means you'll get a faster turnaround on your products, with lower shipping costs and—in some cases—a lower environmental impact. You can use local suppliers and have support for your vendors close by. Plus, global partners like us have strict measures in place to guarantee our people, products, and factories are all safe and ethical (grab more info on that here).
So, without further ado, here are our five major production locations, their capabilities, and the strategic benefits they can give you.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh is the second largest garment exporter worldwide thanks to its streamlined export procedures, tax breaks, and fab international trade agreements. It also happens to be ideally situated for major consumer markets like North America and Europe, so it’s super accessible where global supply chains are concerned. That’s probably why brands like Gap, Benetton, and Zara have all made garments there.

China
China is the world's number one clothing exporter, and we have two major factories there: one in Dongguan and another in Zhangjiagang. Dongguan is an industrial city known as 'the world's factory', so it's handy to have a label partner there! Zhangjiagang is an industrial port city that holds textiles as one of the core pillars of its economy.

Brazil
Technoblu, our Brazilian contingent, is tucked away in Santa Catarina, a super important location for the textile industry. Not only is it situated in a literal rainforest, but it also produces all our most experimental stuff. You can find a fab example of their advanced technical skills on our Tailored Creatives page (spoilers: it’s awesome).
Brazil’s textile industry is one of the most complete and vertically integrated in the Western Hemisphere, and it’s highly ethical by nature. Textiles are vital to Brazil’s economy — so much so that they’re the 5th largest textile producer in the world and the 4th largest apparel producer. What a flex!

Vietnam
You’ll find our Vietnam factory in Binh Duong Province — one of South Vietnam’s core hubs for garment and textile production. In fact, the garment and textile industries are key to Vietnam’s economy. Binh Duong and nearby provinces like Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai are home to loads of garment factories and have serviced brands like Adidas and Nike. It’s the place to be!

Apparel manufacturing is one of Spain's core economic contributors, with Madrid, Seville, Barcelona, and Valencia recognised as major apparel manufacturing hubs. Spain isn't just ideal for European shipping; it's also one of Europe's top 10 clothing exporters. Brands like Massimo Dutti, Zara, and Mango manufacture their garments in Spain, so you know it's good!
