Quality assurance and testing
Our committed Quality Assurance team certifies that strict and consistent quality control procedures and methods are implemented in all our offshore and domestic facilities in order to maintain the highest standards of quality in our products.
We use industry accredited testing equipment and standards in our own domestic textile lab and third-party testing facilities (including Bureau Veritas, Intertek and SGS) to assure that our products exceed the quality standards of the industry . Testing methods from the AATCC, A.S.T.M. and ISO are consistently applied from yarn to finished product.
