Who we are
A sourcing partner that lives on the factory floor.
KMS Sourcing, LLC operates out of the United States, with production offices and partner factories across Central America and Asia. Together we manage the full supply chain for knit apparel, including yarn and fabric sourcing, tech pack development, sampling, cut-and-sew production, screen print and embroidery, quality assurance, and logistics.
Producing across Central America and Asia gives us the flexibility to match program to need, offering nearshore speed for wear-now replenishment and offshore capacity for cost-sensitive, longer-lead programs, all backed by a fabric supply chain that includes Americas-grown cotton, BCI, organic, and recycled blends.
- 9 vetted production partners across Central America and Asia
- In-house pattern development with Optitex software
- SMETA 4-Pillar & SLCP audited facilities
