Ever-Glory Fashion Group's in-house laboratory has recently passed a comprehensive audit conducted by an independent third-party testing organization appointed by Skechers, earning the brand's "Excellent Laboratory" authorization.
The audit covered key areas including the laboratory's testing procedures, equipment capabilities, technical team and quality management system. Receiving the authorization confirms that Ever-Glory's laboratory meets Skechers' requirements for product testing and quality control within its supplier network.
For Ever-Glory, the recognition is more than a certificate. It reflects years of investment in building a reliable apparel testing and quality assurance system that supports products from development through bulk production.
As a global sportswear brand, Skechers maintains strict quality standards across its supply chain. With this authorization, Ever-Glory is able to provide more efficient and reliable product testing and evaluation support for Skechers programs, helping strengthen quality control throughout the product development and manufacturing process.
Following the authorization, the Ever-Glory laboratory will continue to improve its testing capabilities, equipment management and technical expertise. The team will also work closely with product development and production teams to ensure that testing is integrated earlier into the development process rather than treated only as a final inspection step.
This capability has become increasingly important as Ever-Glory continues to expand its sportswear and outdoor apparel business.
Since 2018, the company has steadily increased its investment in outdoor and activewear development, where fabric performance, garment construction and product testing play a much larger role. Testing for areas such as water resistance, breathability, durability and overall garment performance has therefore become an important part of Ever-Glory's broader ODM and product development capabilities.
The Skechers authorization represents another step in that development.
Looking ahead, Ever-Glory will continue to strengthen its laboratory and quality management systems in line with the standards of leading international brands. By combining product development, apparel manufacturing and in-house quality assurance, the company aims to provide more consistent and reliable support for Skechers and other global sportswear and outdoor brands.
