Services & process

From first discussion to production control.

The service is not only sourcing. It is understanding the client, choosing the right manufacturers and following each order carefully.

GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Being today one of the oldest agencies in Thessaloniki with excellent reputation, ‘de novo’ has access and opened doors to every factory in our market, even though as we wrote above we are working more closely already with some of them!

Greece’s strongest areas in textiles are:

  • all kinds of fabrics, of every construction and of every composition, that come down from circular knitting machines.
  • all kinds of knit garments, coming from flat knitting machines.
  • imported fabrics from Europe or Far East.

Designs and Styles of whatever kind is never a problem to be made.. .. our factories can make EVERYTHING!!!!

Having at our side secured and settled all the possibilities and all the abilities for sampling and production, every time we have a request and an opportunity for a new cooperation from abroad, the first thing we do is to have all the discussions in order to fully understand who is the future to be new client for us!

With personal meetings, or via technology in our days, we will find out and understand your needs, your expectations, your standards and we will try the soonest to become you own eyes and ears in our local market!
we want you to know everything that is happening here, Greece has been and still is a big player in the ready-to-wear business

Then, with all above being clear and understood, ‘de novo’ will choose the manufacturers that are matching to what you are looking for, and we will prepare everything for your visit to Thessaloniki, whenever you will wish to make the personal introduction trip!
Of course, our side visiting you considers it also as an open issue, everything is a subject to discussions..

OPERATIONAL REALITY

After all the information provided, all agreements made, negotiations about prices, payment and delivery terms settled, samples made and your sales finished, you as a client feel you are ready to start working in Thessaloniki, and so it is time placing your orders

Managing Your Orders

‘de novo’ will filter and carefully translate, every point of your order for the manufacturer, so not a possible misunderstanding or a mistake can ever come up because of such translation/guidance failure

Production in Progress
we will be present at every stage of the production, checking that everything runs according to your order, and all run into agreed time schedules

Quality Control
even though every factory has inside their own quality control lines and system, ourselves are responsible also for the final one, never an order is being delivered without our own physical presence, checking and investigating how the goods are into the cartons

Few more lines

Being already in the market since 1986 and for four decades, we as ‘de novo’ feel we have the knowledge and the experience to offer good quality services to both sides of our cooperators: and to our clients, and to our manufacturers!

It has been times when we met clients that were skeptical or even against the use of a local agency, because they were thinking that the whatever increase of a price due to commission would hurt their business..

Believe us, this is really a wrong way of approaching the whole issue!

Going to a foreign country you need to be aware of all the conditions, the culture, the habits and all the whereabouts of the production local market, you need people who will help you in all these steps..
People who will guide you to the right directions, without risking your money and your time, people who will be 24/7 available for you, becoming your scouts, your buyers, your representatives, they will be your own team of people, as a separate part of your company’s engine, for fully protecting your interests in Greece, and these people are here for you, ‘de novo’ is here for you!
