Why we chose them:

In the last year, BlueWave moved to a new factory and invested in new equipment, doubling production capacity and improving quality. Their systems include:

  • Robotic cutting that allows digital patterns to be directly cut to fabric.

  • Large-scale laser cutting technical components and laser perforations.

  • Automated sewing with 2-axis sewing robots  for intricate seam work.

  • Ultrasonic bonding machines that create clean, stretchable stitch-free seams

  • Computerized production line that efficiently moves garments around and enables better quality through individual tracking of a garment.
