Born in the 80s · Menden, Germany
We used to broker. Now we sew.
We started in the early eighties as a trading house for German-speaking retail — long enough to learn exactly where orders go wrong. Today your order runs on our own machines: in Bangladesh, with German plant management permanently on site. Verifiable, auditable, open to visit.
Our sewing floor
We do not broker production. We sew it.
Almost every competitor in the German market is a sourcing agent, brokering capacity and passing it along. With us it runs on our own machines. Zentex Fashion Ltd. in Bangladesh belongs to the owners of Daily Shirt personally and is our sister company — not brokered capacity, not a rotating cast of partner plants, not a chain with nobody liable at the end of it.
Plant management is German and permanently on site. That means one contact in your language and time zone who can walk onto the line the same day. You are welcome to audit the factory or fly out and see it yourself — both are expressly provided for.

Capacity and minimum quantities
Figures you can check yourself.
All capacity figures are maximum values at full utilisation — not standard throughput and not a commitment for an individual project. What applies to your order is fixed in the quotation.
| Figure | Value |
|---|---|
| People on the sewing floor | up to 400 |
| Sewing lines | up to 8, single shift |
| Sewing machines | up to 180 |
| Monthly output | up to 450,000 basic shirts or 150,000 critical items |
| Minimum order quantity | from 500 pieces per style |
| Minimum quantity, garment dye | from 250 pieces per colour, 500 per style in total |
| Experience | over 40 years |
| Garments produced in total | over 30 million |
| On-time FOB shipments | 98 % |
| Team in Menden | 5 people |
| Lead time after order release | 3 to 6 months |
Monthly output is an either/or, not a sum: basic shirts and critical items occupy the same lines. The 450,000 figure is based on 2,000 pieces per line in ten hours plus customary overtime, across 26 working days at full utilisation.

Born in the 80s
Started in the eighties. Today on our own machines.
Daily Shirt has developed and produced apparel for retailers and brands across the German-speaking market since the early eighties. For decades as a trading house — so we learned from the buying side what makes orders fail. Today we sew it ourselves. Over 30 million garments produced, and still the same question at the start: what exactly does this piece need to do?

The company
Five in Menden. One in Bangladesh.
A small house, in the business since the eighties. You always speak to the same people — and one of us stands on the sewing floor, not at the far end of a supply chain.
