What the floor
actually runs.
No adjectives on this page. Machine counts, gauges, capacities, brands and origins — the same schedule we send to a vendor assessment, published rather than attached.

Pick a gauge. See what backs it.
Each gauge is a different set of machines with a different monthly ceiling. Selecting one re-knits the swatch at that stitch density and shows the capacity you would actually be booking.

5,500 dozen a month, split four ways.
Capacity is held per gauge, not pooled. A 12GG programme does not eat into the 3GG ceiling, which is why we can quote two different weights for the same delivery window.
Figures are steady-state monthly output at normal working hours. Peak-season uplift is booked separately — ask early.
