WHY KENDOR STANDS APART
CHAMPION OF SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE SOURCING
Long before it was a buzz word, KenDor was an adamant and inspired champion of sustainable textile sourcing. KenDor’s sustainable offering has grown to represent more than 70% of its global sales. An irreplaceable option for small to large brands that want to offer more responsible products but may not have the resources to source and secure accreditation for their eco textile supply chain.
FLEXIBILITY TO MEET ANY SIZED COMPANY’S NEEDS
Specializing in casual sportwear fabrications, KenDor’s programs offer the flexibility of low-minimum sampling from many in-stock colours, as well as the potential of custom dyeing of sample, duplicate and production quantities in as little as one roll. Often achieved by combining several compatible fabrications together in 300m-500m dyelots. If necessary, KenDor can sometimes share a dyelot with customers, to avoid surcharges. Domestic or Asia to Asia, our mills can fit your needs.
