Fabricante de Punto para Marcas Españolas — Directo desde Turquía
Are you a Spanish fashion brand navigating rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and the constant pressure to deliver on-trend knitwear? Sourcing from established hubs is becoming increasingly challenging. Maintaining quality, meeting demanding lead times, and controlling costs – especially for smaller collections – feels like a constant balancing act. Kiwi Giyim, based in the heart of Turkey’s knitwear industry, offers a reliable, cost-effective, and quality-focused alternative. We understand the needs of the Spanish market, particularly the demands of fast fashion and the importance of a responsive, collaborative partner. We’re positioned to become your trusted extension in Turkey, delivering the knitwear your designs deserve, directly to your doorstep.
Why Spain-based brands choose Turkey for knitwear
For Spanish brands, particularly those in Madrid and Barcelona, Turkey presents a compelling alternative to traditional sourcing locations. Beyond competitive pricing, Turkey offers significant advantages. Geographically, we’re closer to Europe than China, reducing transit times and associated costs. We’re deeply ingrained in a textile tradition, boasting a skilled workforce and a robust supply chain for yarns and materials. Crucially, Turkey’s manufacturing landscape is agile and adaptable – ideal for responding to the fast-paced demands of the Spanish fashion market. Many brands already rely on Turkey for denim and woven fabrics; extending this to knitwear is a natural and logical step. We offer the flexibility to handle both smaller, trend-driven runs and larger, established collections, something often difficult to achieve with larger, less flexible suppliers. Think of us as a strategic partner, not just a factory.
Compliance & Standards That Matter for Spain
We understand that Spanish brands, and those supplying larger retailers like Inditex and Mango, operate under strict ethical and quality standards. Kiwi Giyim is committed to full transparency and compliance. We adhere to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, ensuring our products are free from harmful substances. We prioritize fair labor practices and operate in a safe, modern facility. We are fully compliant with REACH regulations, crucial for the European market. Furthermore, we can provide detailed documentation and traceability throughout the production process, including yarn sourcing and dye lot information. We proactively work with our clients to meet specific brand requirements regarding social responsibility and environmental impact – details available on our /sustainability/ page. We’re not just meeting standards; we’re building trust.
Logistics: Turkey → Spain (specific routes, days, costs)
Efficient logistics are paramount. We’ve streamlined the process of getting your knitwear from our facility in Gaziantep to your warehouse in Spain. Our primary route utilizes established trucking networks via France, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution. Typical transit times are 6-7 days from factory dispatch to delivery in Madrid or Barcelona. We work with trusted freight forwarders specializing in textile transport.
Estimated shipping costs (as of October 2024):
- 20ft Container (approx. 10,000 pcs): €1,800 – €2,500
- 40ft Container (approx. 20,000 pcs): €3,200 – €4,500
- LCL (Less than Container Load – for smaller orders): €150 – €300 per cubic meter
These costs are estimates and will vary based on weight, volume, and current fuel surcharges. We provide transparent, all-inclusive quotes before production begins. We handle all customs documentation and ensure smooth clearance through French and Spanish customs.

Real Cost Comparison
Here’s a realistic comparison of knitwear production costs (per piece, based on a simple crew neck sweater, 10gg, 50% cotton/50% acrylic, quantity 500 pieces):
| Location | Labor Cost | Material Cost | Overhead | Shipping | Total Cost (EUR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | €8 – €12 | €5 – €8 | €3 – €5 | €0 | €16 – €25 |
| Turkey (Kiwi Giyim) | €3 – €5 | €4 – €7 | €1 – €2 | €1 – €2 | €9 – €16 |

Note: These are estimated costs and can vary based on complexity, yarn choice, and specific requirements. While China may appear competitive, consider the increased shipping costs, longer lead times, and potential quality control issues. Kiwi Giyim offers a compelling balance of cost, quality, and proximity.
