Sourcing/purchasing services
Benefiting from European management skills and our knowledge of the European and Asian markets, the vital new developments in each market are signalled and immediately informed to and discussed with our client. Our clients will experience the significant added value we provide through this service.
We actively source for new fabric and other possibilities, including new factories. We currently already work with a wide range of factories, each with its own strength and weaknesses.
Inspection services
Monitoring the production process requires an on-the-spot presence to reduce the risk of substandard quality, and to ensure that all other aspects of contractual obligations are met. The earlier that possible execution shortcomings are detected the better, in order to initiate timely corrective action.
• Sample evaluation
• Pre-production inspection:
• Inline inspection
• Final (pre-shipment) inspection
Quality Standards
For all our inspections we use the internationally recognized Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) standards. For each Inspection, this allows the client to set their acceptable quality tolerance levels.
Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)
The Acceptable Quality Level, commonly referred to as AQL, is a method widely used to measure a production order sample to determine whether the order as a whole has met the client’s quality standards and specifications. The client then has the data to make an informed decision to accept or reject the consignment.
Documentation/Shipping service
We ensure that all your shipping instructions are carried out correctly and that all documents comply with the export and import regulations of concerned countries.
This service guarantees that the finished and packaged goods meet your specifications (product type and quantity) and are securely loaded for shipment.
Sampling/ Collection service
We are able to support your styling team in creating and arranging all kind of materials and accessories, in order to produce a collection for sales purposes.
We treat all our client collection strict confidential and will protect them against any third parties.
Collection/ developments @ GFG
Every season we provide and create our own collection on which our clients can directly add their orders or even make alterations on the specific styles/development to match their requirements.
To maintain integrity we are very strict that our developments will not create any competition between different parties.
If you are interested to see a part of the running Winter 2013 collection, please feel free to contact us.
