Off-Shore Production & Project Management Services

Shield360 successfully delivered a fast-turnaround service to help save a UK company who’s overseas supply chain partner went into liquidation – ensuring on time delivery to wearers.

Shield360 offers off-shore production management to support manufacturing of garments which are outside the scope of their client’s own UK manufacturing facilities and are complimentary to the current ranges they offer.

In 2018 the UK company’s preferred off-shore supply source went into liquidation and Shield360 supported a fast turnaround transition to one of their existing supply chain partners.  This involved sourcing the correct fabric, sampling the garments, setting up all of the specifications and technical files so that these became the property of the company, rather than being held by off-shore suppliers.

The process ensured greater control and consistency of product for future production and was achieved with little or no impact for the client’s strict roll out date.

Working together to seek mutually beneficial opportunities, Shield360 also use the UK facilities to support other clients’ garment requirements, for example when very short turnaround times or low order quantities mean it is not possible to source off-shore.
