Manufacturing Process
We partner with globally trusted suppliers to source certified protective fabrics:
- FR Fabrics: NFPA 2112, EN ISO 11612, ASTM-compliant for flame resistance.
- Healthcare Fabrics: Antimicrobial, breathable, and fluid-resistant.
- High-Visibility Fabrics: ANSI/ISEA 107-certified reflective and fluorescent materials.

Our in-house R&D and design teams, using 3D CAD software, create ergonomic, stylish and compatible products for industries like oil and gas, mining, utilities, and healthcare.

We make use of computer-aided pattern-making machinery to ensure perfect fit, no fabric wastage and size consistency. We always send the samples of pre-production to our clients for their approval before proceeding with the bulk production.

We are able to achieve faster turnaround times, accurate cutting and very little material wastage through the use of automated cutting machines

To ensure strength, comfort and long-lasting durability our stitching section is fitted with high-speed, computer-controlled sewing lines.
Different garments require specialized techniques:
Stitch Types We Use
- Flatlock Stitching: Creates flat, comfortable seams for healthcare uniforms.
- Overlock Stitching: Protects edges from fraying.
- Double-Needle Lock Stitching: Reinforces seams in high-stress areas of IFR coveralls.
- Triple-Stitching: Used for fire-resistant garments for maximum tear resistance.
- Bar-Tacking: Strengthens stress points (pockets, belt loops, cuffs).
- Safety Stitching: Adds extra seam security for heavy-duty workwear.
- Binding & Hemming: Neat edges and improved comfort for lab coats and scrub suits.
Garment-Specific Highlights:
- FR Clothing: Triple-stitched seams with flame-resistant threads for added protection.
- Healthcare Clothing: Lightweight seams and hygienic finishes for maximum comfort.

We provide custom branding solutions to enhance workforce identity and professionalism.
- Heat-Seal Reflective Logos for high-visibility garments.
- Direct Logo Embroidery on coveralls, jackets, and healthcare uniforms.
- Name & Design Embroidery with durable, color-fast threads.
- Screen Printing / Heat Transfer Prints for large-scale branding.

We add advanced protective finishes to boost garment performance:
- Flame-Retardant Treatment (for FR workwear)
- Anti-Static & Oil-Repellent Finish
- Antimicrobial Coatings for healthcare clothing
- Heat-Seal Reflective Tape for high-visibility compliance.

Every garment undergoes multi-stage inspections to meet NFPA, ISO, CE, BIS, and ASTM standards:
- Raw Fabric Inspection – defects & compliance checks
- In-Process Checks – monitoring during stitching & finishing
- Final Garment Inspection – sizing, seams, and finishing
- Laboratory Testing – FR performance, colorfastness, seam strength, shrinkage

The garments are being shipped worldwide to ensure on-time delivery after they have been packed neatly in eco-friendly packaging with barcoded tracking for traceability.
