Executive summary

60-second read

What we do

Three divisions: garment manufacturing, leather manufacturing, and import & export — under one contracting entity.

  • 12.1M garment units / yr
  • 6.5M leather units / yr
  • 120+ markets traded
  • 6 owned sites, 49 lines

How you contract

One entity holds materials, conversion, inspection, documentation — and the liability, including on managed vendors.

  • Full-package, CMT or managed
  • EXW · FOB · CIF · DDP
  • Single purchase order

What it commits you to

Published minimums and lead times, so a programme can be qualified before anyone books a call.

  • From 150 units / style
  • Sample in 10–15 days
  • Bulk in 35–60 days

If this fits, the fastest next step is a specification and an indicative volume. Acknowledged in one business day.

Divisions

§ 01

Three divisions, one contracting entity

Ostenmark makes garments, makes leather goods, and trades. Each division stands on its own — and any combination of them can sit under a single purchase order.

Engagement models

§ 02

Three ways to contract with us

Most enquiries resolve to one of three arrangements. The difference is who nominates the materials and who carries the quality liability — the rest is scheduling.

01

Full-package production

We take the specification and return finished, packed, inspected goods. Ostenmark holds responsibility for materials, labour, quality and export documentation under a single purchase order.

  • Tech pack to bulk delivery
  • Materials nominated or sourced by us
  • Single point of contractual liability
  • FOB or DDP at your election
02

Cut, make and trim

You nominate and consign the materials; we provide the line, the labour and the quality system. Suited to brands with established mill relationships that need capacity, not sourcing.

  • Client-consigned materials
  • Dedicated or shared line allocation
  • Bonded warehousing for inputs
  • Per-unit conversion pricing
03

Managed supplier network

For categories outside our own floors, we appoint, audit and manage third-party vendors on your behalf — under Ostenmark's quality protocol and our contract, not yours.

  • Vendor qualification and audit
  • On-site Ostenmark QA presence
  • Consolidated invoicing and freight
  • Ostenmark retains liability

Production workflow

§ 05

Why Ostenmark

§ 06

What separates an owned floor from an agent

The distinction is not craft language. It is who you hold a contract with when a lot fails inspection three weeks before a launch.

01

Owned production, not brokerage

Six sites and 49 lines are Ostenmark-owned and Ostenmark-staffed across garment and leather production, and the trading arm is ours too. When a specification is missed, the accountable party is a company you hold a contract with — not an agent's undisclosed subcontractor.

02

Auditable at any time

ISO 9001 and 14001 certified, SMETA 4-Pillar audited annually, with lot-level traceability retained for seven years. Unannounced client and third-party audits are permitted by contract.

03

Single contractual counterparty

Materials, conversion, inspection, documentation and freight sit under one purchase order and one liable entity, whether the work runs on our floors or a managed partner's.

04

Reported, not promised

Weekly output against plan, inspection results by lot, and shipment milestones are issued as standard — so schedule risk surfaces early enough to act on.

Footprint

§ 07

Production close to material, distribution close to market

Client reference

“We moved four categories to Ostenmark after an agent subcontracted a run without disclosure. Two years on, the material declarations reconcile, the audit access is real, and we have one counterparty instead of nine.”

Enquiries

§ 09

Questions raised before onboarding

The points procurement teams raise most often during vendor qualification.

150 units per style and colourway for leather goods and apparel, 300 pairs for footwear, and 500 metres per colourway for fabric. Lower quantities are accepted for sampling and for first production runs where a scaling commitment is agreed.
