Step One

Design office

Our design team develops market trends! The creativity of our design team, combined with the most sophisticated creation software in the market, enables us to produce best-selling products every year. In addition to our own developments, we also bring our clients' ideas and designs to life.

For those with a specific color palette or an inspirational mood board, our designers can assist your team in developing suitable products that seamlessly complement an existing collection with harmony.

Weaving

Step Two

Weaving

Weaving is the heart of our company. As we enter this section, it's impossible not to feel the frenetic heartbeat of our 60 looms, all controlled by a real-time production monitoring system and closely supervised by experienced weavers. Every year we produce around 548 tons of fabrics, which incorporate various raw materials, including natural fibers such as linen, cotton and hemp.

Raw Inspection

Step Three

Raw Inspection

This weaving support section allows the detection of defects at an early stage of the production process, enabling them to be corrected on the loom. At this stage, the verification is done manually, by specialized and trained employees.

Dyeing

Step Four

Dyeing

Here we dye yarn or fabric, through a set of machines that allow various types of processes and operations, respecting the integrity of raw materials that are being processed, as well as the intended result of the client. All recipes that result in a specific color are recorded in a database, allowing for exact replication in case the customer submits a repeat order.

Printing

Step Five

Printing

Always with an eye on innovation, Sampedro recently invested in a state-of-the-art digital printing machine. This technology represents a game-changer in printing. Being a much more ecological it also overcomes any obstacles regarding colors and design rapport. With this machine we can now produce samples in a matter of minutes and without waste. We complement this section with a rotary printing machine, enabling higher production speeds and consequently, a more affordable price.

Finishing

Step Six

Finishing

Why does our 200-thread-count percale have a better hand feel than another 200-thread-count percale? Largely due to our finishing section! This is where we give the fabric its final touch, utilizing both chemical and mechanical treatments we apply some common treatments in this area as well as some secret formulas developed in-house!At this stage of the production process, we have a variety of machines that enable us to manipulate the final texture of the fabric according to the parameters desired by each customer.

Final inspection

Step Seven

Final inspection

After all the processes described above, the fabric is ready to be manufactured, but not before it has passed through the watchful eyes of our inspectors. Here, 100% of the fabric is inspected to identify and mark any production defects. Although we can't correct these defects at this stage, we can at least mark and remove them to ensure they don't reach the end customer!

Cut and sewing

Step Eight

Cut and sewing

In this section, automatic machines cut the fabric with millimeter precision. The skilled hands of our talented seamstresses shape a wide variety of garments according to each customer's requirements.

Final Step

Packaging , Barcodes , Inlays , Labels and other accessories are checked by more than one person before the pieces are made available to our dispatch warehouse, from where they will be shipped.
