The Company Description of Its Time
Established in 1908, Komar was founded on the guiding principle of one reputation, real values, and historical descriptions say that principle continues to guide the apparel company today. Komar files itself as a global leader in the design, sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of apparel, managing a diverse portfolio consisting of owned, licensed and private label brands. This profile stays on the company's divisions, products and operations, in product terms only - which is how the historical record itself presents the business: as a maker and distributor of garments, organised by category.
Quality Control, From Design Team to Factory Network
The quality passage is the filing's operational core. From its talented design team to its production partners from around the world, Komar takes pride in manufacturing garments where the highest level of quality is guaranteed. It invests in teams of quality control inspectors who work across its network of factories and mills to ensure quality is never compromised. In a sleepwear and intimates business, that inspector network is the product promise made operational: soft garments are judged on fabric, stitching and consistency, and the filing presents the inspectors, rather than any single garment, as the guarantee.
Two named service divisions carry the sourcing and logistics. Komar Sourcing is the company's global production management provider, specialising in quality control assurance, product development, merchandising, factory compliance, logistics and inventory management. Alongside it, Star is described as a world-class apparel sourcing, design and manufacturing company providing expert, seamless execution in product development, technical innovation, on-time delivery and personalised customer service, to ensure the best quality and value for each customer. Read together, the two divisions describe a manufacturer that also sells its production system as a service: the same network that makes Komar's own brands' garments is offered, through Sourcing and Star, as managed capacity for customers.
