Why VietNam

Why manufacture activewear in Vietnam?

Vietnam has become one of the world's leading hubs for performance apparel manufacturing — and for good reason. Vietnamese production facilities combine skilled cut-and-sew expertise with access to high-grade performance fabrics including nylon-spandex blends, moisture-wicking polyester, four-way stretch, and French terry — the core materials of the global activewear market.

At Agile Apparel Source, our Vietnam production team specializes in the technical demands of activewear construction: flatlock seaming, bonded seams, compression fit, sublimation printing, and seamless knitting. Every garment is produced to your performance specification and tested under our 3-layer QC process before it leaves our facility.

For US and EU fitness brands, we combine this production capability with the tariff advantages of Vietnamese origin — 0% duty into the EU under EVFTA and no Section 301 exposure for US imports — making Vietnam the most cost-effective and legally secure manufacturing destination for your activewear line.
