Aakos™ partners with trusted manufacturing facilities and textile suppliers to support responsible and scalable apparel production.
Our supply chain is structured to provide brands with dependable manufacturing capacity while maintaining oversight of supplier practices, production standards, and material sourcing. By working with carefully selected partners, Aakos delivers apparel programs that align with modern procurement expectations around compliance, transparency, and responsible production.
This approach allows organisations to confidently deploy uniform and apparel programs backed by a professionally managed supply network.
Aakos works with manufacturing partners across several established apparel production regions. These locations provide the technical capability, production scale, and operational experience required to support large apparel programs.
Our global supply network includes production partners located in:
• Australia
• China
• Vietnam
Each manufacturing partner is evaluated to ensure they meet the operational standards required for consistent apparel production. Facilities are selected based on their manufacturing capability, compliance readiness, and alignment with responsible production practices.
This international network allows Aakos to provide flexible production capacity while maintaining a consistent quality and compliance framework.
Manufacturing partners are approved through a structured evaluation process designed to ensure operational reliability and responsible business practices.
Before a supplier becomes part of the Aakos production network, several key areas are assessed to confirm suitability for long-term collaboration.
The approval process includes:
• Production capability assessment
• Compliance verification against industry standards
• Review of relevant certifications and operational policies
• Quality evaluation of manufacturing output
• Ongoing supplier performance monitoring
This structured process helps maintain consistent production standards and supports long-term supplier partnerships.
Aakos recognises that supply chain transparency is increasingly important for brands, retailers, and corporate procurement teams.
We are committed to improving visibility across our textile sourcing and apparel production processes to support responsible purchasing decisions.
As part of this effort, Aakos is developing traceability systems that allow brands to better understand how garments are produced and where key materials originate.
Improving traceability helps organisations strengthen supply chain documentation, support responsible sourcing practices, and align with evolving modern slavery and ESG reporting requirements.
Aakos expects all production partners to operate in accordance with recognised labour, environmental, and safety standards.
Suppliers are expected to maintain responsible manufacturing environments that protect workers, support safe production practices, and follow responsible operational procedures.
Key areas of compliance include:
• fair labour practices and responsible employment standards
• safe working environments for factory employees
• responsible environmental management practices
• appropriate chemical handling and material safety procedures
Where applicable, supplier facilities may operate under internationally recognised certification frameworks such as:
• BSCI
• WRAP
• SEDEX
• ISO management standards
These standards support responsible manufacturing and provide assurance for organisations operating under ESG procurement policies.
