Business model

Our vision is to be the preferred development and manufacturing partner for functional garments. As a private label garment manufacturer, Spectre is in the center of the traditional textile value chain gathering all the components for production, from fabric and trim producers worldwide, in cooperation with our transportation and logistics partners.

Upon fabric and trim delivery to our own manufacturing facilities in Europe and Asia, we are manufacturing the readymade garments, and after quality audit inspection, we are delivering the finished product to the customer’s transportation and logistics partner for shipment to worldwide distribution centers.

Being at the centre of the value chain requires many daily interactions and potential tensions with the previous and subsequent stages such as coordination and ensurance of compliance issues, developing the product in time for bulk production, ensuring material deliveries, planning of delivery dates to customer and quality control on several stages from raw material to finished product.

When something does not go according to plan as it happens in a fast, global supply chain late material delivery means production schedule must be rearranged and maybe rushed with overtime or deliveries expedited with air freight. These pressures need to be carefully managed to account for their impact on workers and environment.

Spectre’s role in the value chain, from a CSR perspective, is also to monitor fabric and trim suppliers’ compliance with defined environment standards and to assure good working conditions in our own facilities and the facilities of our direct suppliers.

At Spectre we respond to stakeholders’ expectations and society’s evolving needs by implementing and emphasizing the focus on strong ESG practices as part of our business model and strategy. With our CSR 4 Corner Stones Strategy as the foundation, we seek to manage our business activities in a professional and responsible way, and at the same time to ensure a constructive and value-adding cooperation with our business partners in the value chain.

At Spectre we produce garments for customers worldwide.

The current geographic core markets are West and Northern Europe (primarily being Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and Sweden) – and the United States and Canada. Due to demand by customers, Spectre is strengthening its involvement in growth markets in Asia, Europe and the United States. This growth is underpinned by changing global market trends, such as developing consumer megatrends, evolving market structure, and technology and category growth.

We evaluate customers we engage in business relations with for how well their values align with ours. That is critical to be able delivering not only high quality and on-time delivery but a sustainable and responsible production.
