Knitwear engineered for retail.
KMS partners with brands and retailers to design, source, and produce knit apparel at scale, from first sketch to floor-ready delivery, produced across our certified factory network in Central America and Asia.
Trusted by leading brands and retailers
Who we are
A sourcing partner that lives on the factory floor.
KMS Sourcing, LLC operates out of the United States, with production offices and partner factories across Central America and Asia. Together we manage the full supply chain for knit apparel, including yarn and fabric sourcing, tech pack development, sampling, cut-and-sew production, screen print and embroidery, quality assurance, and logistics.
Producing across Central America and Asia gives us the flexibility to match program to need, offering nearshore speed and duty-free access to the U.S. for wear-now replenishment, and offshore capacity for cost-sensitive, longer-lead programs, all backed by a fabric supply chain that includes Americas-grown cotton, BCI, organic, and recycled blends.
- 6 certified partner factories in 5 countries
- Samples in about two weeks, delivery 30 to 60 days after PO
- WRAP, SMETA, Disney FAMA & SLCP certified facilities
