I:Team stands out because of its deep supplier network built over decades, plus an in-house R&D department and design team. The company takes on diverse projects that keep it learning, and refuses to cut corners on quality.
What do you think makes I:Team different than most other factories? We have been doing a lot of different garments for a long time, which means that we have a big web of suppliers in a lot of different aspects of the textile industry. I mean, we've been using them for a while, so we've used bad ones and we've come to know the good ones. And so we can source things very quickly. We adapt to new trends quickly. We have a big R&D department. We have a little innovation center in the building as well. We have our own design team. Taking on a lot of clients also means that you're doing a lot of new stuff sometimes that you haven't done before, which adds a lot to the company. We're always open to do new stuff, gets us excited. We don't take too many shortcuts when it comes to quality, I would say. That's another big factor.
