One of the big problems in the textile industry is the number of suppliers needed to make a garment: farm fields, thread manufacturing, fabric, laundry, cutting and sewing... Our solution to this is to concentrate all these suppliers (except the crop field) within a radius of 10km, in this way we can control 100% of the processes involved in the manufacture of our garments. This factory is located just 90 km from our warehouses and 250 km from our offices.
Atrocities against human rights have been committed in this industry, NWHR is not going to contribute to this continuing to happen. Thanks to the SMETA certificate that our factory has, we guarantee that workers carry out their activity in a safe environment and in exchange for fair compensation.
In washing and staining, we use water and a series of dyes that generate waste that must be treated. The laundry has a treatment plant that reuses almost all of the water used in washing and treating fabrics, thus creating a closed circle of consumption and preventing it from being discharged directly into the environment.
In this process, we reduce the water consumed by an organic cotton garment by 72% and save energy and time thanks to the fact that the heat of the discharged water is used to heat the incoming water.

This is where we produce all our knitwear, where we do the embroidery and make other garments that you will soon see in Nowhere.
This charming town in A Coruña, located just 40km from our offices, was a major textile producer in the 80s and 90s.
However, with the beginning of the 2000's the big firms began to relocate their production to Southeast Asia causing the closure of many workshops in Ordes.
For us it is very important to bet on km 0 productions in Galicia, where we feel we can add the most value.
This partnership not only allows us to offer products of exceptional quality, but also helps to preserve a tradition and support the local community at a time when the textile industry is facing significant challenges.
