Quality in Textile Manufacturing
Pro QC delivers inspections and audits to help textile companies ensure product quality, sustainability, and ethical compliance across global supply chains
Since 1984, Pro QC International has supported brands in ensuring quality and securing their global supply chain with factory audits, social compliance and environmental audits, and textile inspection services.
Textile manufacturers must meet ever-increasing consumer demand for high-quality, environmentally friendly products that are made in a healthy working environment. For all companies manufacturing or purchasing textiles, quality control inspections and audits are essential to managing the risks involved in textile production. These risks arise at every stage of design and production and include the increasing complexity of supply chains, quality defects, supplier reliability and performance, and noncompliance with environmental and labor standards.
With over 40 years of experience in the textile sector, Pro QC offers customized solutions to help companies protect their reputation and bring high-quality products to the market. Our range of quality assurance and quality control services is designed to address the industry’s main challenges and includes textile inspections, factory and supplier audits, social compliance audits (SA8000, SMETA, WRAP, etc.), ISO 14001 audits, preparation for certification, and supplier management services.

Textile Quality
Quality defects in the textile and garment industry are often related to dimensions, fraying fabrics, unfinished edges, open seams, incorrect thread selection, skipped stitches, dye spots, packaging, and incorrect labeling. Pro QC’s team of quality inspectors and textile experts conduct on-site quality control inspections to identify those defects and ensure product quality matches our clients’ specifications and expectations. A standard textile quality control inspection covers the following elements: quantity, package & packaging, product style/construction, logo, labeling, markings, accessories, measurement, functional and performance tests, and more.
Environmental Compliance
The textile industry affects the planet on many levels, including water, air pollution, chemicals, electricity consumption, and waste. Implementing an environmental management system such as ISO 14001 helps mitigate its impact on the environment. Pro QC provides ISO 14001 gap analysis audits, preparation for certification, and consulting services.
