Develop branded collections
Through group companies, Equipe Asia has extensive experience in the kids licensing, sports licensing and fashion licensing sectors, working for many years with the most important Characters and Brands at an international level. The experience gained in the sector allows an easier management of graphic declinations based on the punctual and strict compliance with the Style Guides, a fundamental prerequisite for the processing of authorization practices and processes towards Brands and Licensors. Equipe Asia's clients therefore have the possibility of developing branded collections, also thanks to the use of production sources in many cases already certified and accredited by the Brands themselves. Production sources are identified according to the products to be made, in Europe and Asia depending on the best quality, price and production capacity ratio. The main sourcing markets are China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India. The Hong Kong HUB is the pivotal point for coordinating all goods scouting, production and shipping activities.
