About Apparel Sourcing Club
The APPAREL SOURCING CLUB was founded and is managed by 4U Mode GmbH / infoAid. For more than two decades we have worked on the subject of apparel production worldwide. Many turns we took, bringing us to almost every part of the world. The markets are yet again changing rapidly with brands, retailers and other buyers of white-label apparel in need of flexible capacities in specific regions. Moreover, the market today requires the highest level of compliance when it comes to environmental and social standards. To create a solid and sustainable offer, the APPAREL SOURCING CLUB was founded in 2022, to provide a long-term and stable platform, serving both, manufacturers and buyers of apparel. Check Our Actions to see what we do!
The APPAREL SOURCING CLUB-DAY is the annual event, physically bringing together apparel manufacturers, brands, retailers, intermediaries and other stakeholders – for a one-day session, to meet under one roof, participating in scheduled meetings. The second edition of the DAY was successfully hosted on 14 October 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany, presenting manufacturers from sourcing destinations located close to Europe (Albania, Bosnia, Egypt, Morocco, North Macedonia, Serbia, Tunisia and others). Check the DAY 2024 for further information. The next DAY will take place in 2025, same place, same concept (check the DAY 2025 for further information).
Register in our platform!
The CLUB hosts both, Sourcers (brands, retailers, other organisations operating in the domain of producing and sourcing textile and apparel products) and Suppliers (manufacturers), providing for a professional platform that is built on expertise by the people running the CLUB. It is a ‘hybrid’ initiative, offering online tools (directory of manufacturers and relevant information) and a physical arena, manifested by the APPAREL SOURCING CLUB-DAY, hosted at least once a year. The CLUB also reaches out to all stakeholders such as other associations, groupings, international donors or media representative wanting to join the effort. The CLUB is a non-profit platform, serving as an incubator for projects that will help the sector to grow sustainably by reducing redundancies by pre-matching offer and demand before a visit or a meeting.

How to become a member of Apparel Sourcing Club?
Learn about registration details
You can register as a Sourcer (seeking manufacturers and related services) or as a manufacturer (seeking buyers for your product). If you are neither as Sourcer nor a Supplier, then register as ‘Stakeholder’. The CLUB will handle your request.
Interested Sourcers, Manufacturers and Stakeholders can register throughout the year to benefit from different actions and projects. Manufacturers can decide up to two month prior to the DAY if they are interested to participate. Sourcers are expected to attend the DAY, to see the Manufacturers and to mingle with other Sourcers.
The CLUB relies in its members to make it work.
In order to cover the costs, Manufactuers pay an annual fee of EUR 400,00.
The participation in the DAY event costs EUR 1.750,00.
Sourcers pay an annual fee of EUR 800,00.
The CLUB matches offer and demand and thus apparel buyers with apparel manufacturers.
Manufacturers will host their online presentation on this website visited by our Sourcers who will contact the Manufacturer if interested (via the team).
Sourcers will gain access to a verified network of Manufacturers together with professional advice from the team. Moreover, market information is available upon request, while Sourcers enjoy the privilige of being invited to participate in e.g. delegation and market scouting missions organised by the CLUB (often with free services the CLUB can offer as part of on-going projects financed by international organisations). Check our PROJECTS & EVENTS (top menu) for our activities, including the DAYS!
Registered Sourcers can browse the online profiles and liaise with the CLUB to verify the match. The CLUB will connect Sourcers with Manufacturers, if the indications are positive. During the DAY, each visitor and manufacturer receive their Personal Meeting Agenda (PMA) before the event, so everybody knows who they will meet at what time.
