Customer Success Stories — From Startup Drop to International Retail
Scaling UKs Premier Street Activewear Label — Montirex
- 30 Pcs
Initial MOQ Order
- €130 Million
Annual Retail Scale
When the founders of the prominent UK brand Montirex first approached the MontForge Dongguan manufacturing center, they were ambitious young designers looking to introduce highly technical, stylish activewear to the European market, starting with limited micro-drops of 30 pieces.
Their biggest obstacle was finding a factory capable of delivering flawless technical fit draping on athletic t-shirts at a low starting volume. Traditional factories offered bulky, off-the-shelf patterns. MontForge stepped in, utilizing our deep digital pattern library to custom-engineer lightweight athletic fit blocks with specialized mock neck collar and color-locked sublimation panel designs.
By maintaining a fast sampling speed of 7-10 days, MontForge enabled Montirex to rapidly test, iterate, and launch products. Today, Montirex is sold across major European sports retail empires like JD Sports and Footasylum, standing as one of Europes fastest-growing activewear brands.

- Overcame sizing limitations with bespoke pattern grading (XS to 3XL).
- Sourced GRS-certified recycled polyester fibers to match ESG objectives.
- Successfully passed strict European retail quality standards.
