A Quick Introduction
First established in 1990 and formerly known as Fimex Ltd. We have been supplying hosiery products for over years and distributed over a billion pairs of socks since establishment.
Our head office is in Leeds (UK) and our European and Far East offices are located in Istanbul (Turkey) and Zhuji (China), as well as a partner factory in Pakistan. We believe in a local presence in order to work efficiently and maintain high standards.
Our European and Far East offices are managed by the owner's family, who employ a team of local Merchandisers and Quality Controllers who AQL each order before they are shipped.
Our Capacity
In order to cover the huge variety of styles and knitting gauges at cost competitive prices, we need a global supply chain.
This reach allows us to have a capacity of 3.5million pairs per month and provides our customers with a range options to best suite their individual requirements. For example some customers prefer Turkey for quick turnaround, others prefer the Far East for price
We also have a UK distribution centre based in Leeds that is 12,000 sq ft. So we can hold stock and distribute on a call off basis if the customer requires.
Order Processing
Our main orders are custom made to the customers specification and requirements. We can either work from a design brief supplied from you the customer, or we can send you artworks to choose from. We have an ever increasing design database of over 60,000 designs.
Once artworks are chosen, we can sample up your products, work on packaging options for you and then quote to you an FOB or landed price in either US $, €, £, AUS $ taking into account the quantity you wish to buy.
Sampling can take between 2 – 3 weeks depending on product complexity and demand. If you require bespoke sampling we will charge a fee of £125 per sample that will be fully reimbursed if an order is placed.
From approved samples, production time is 8-12 weeks depending on the style, quantity and the time of year production is booked.
Minimum order quantities vary depending on style but are usually 2,000 pairs / design and colour for cotton socks and hand knits and 5,000 pairs / design and colour for cosy socks, gift items and childrens tights. Please contact sales for any enquiries on info@fimexltd.com
