WE LEAD BY EXAMPLE
“In the UK, Production Units go under many names but the standard model is ‘CMT Factories’. CMT stands for Cut, Make and Trim – meaning that the Manufacturer does not supply any of the fabric or components apart from Thread & Bag and only carries out Production with the materials supplied”.
The Fashion Alliance, London
WHAT IS MEANT BY CMT PRODUCTION?
CUT:
Fabric (linings, interfacing, trims etc) is cut and collated into size, style, colour and quantity as specified on Docket (ie. ordered).
MAKE:
The requested sewing techniques employed to construct and manufacture garment as specified on Specification sheet (Docket)
TRIM:
Finished garments are trimmed (ie. trim threads, put right any defects etc), undergo final quality check and packed ready for shipping.
