The textile industry in Romania

Romania hosts one of Europe's largest cut-make-trim garment manufacturing bases, producing under contract — the "lohn" model — for Western European brands. That distinction matters commercially: Romanian factories buy fabric, not finished goods, which makes them a direct rather than an indirect customer for a mill. Lead time is the decisive advantage here. At 3 to 5 days by road, a Romanian manufacturer can place a fabric order and cut it the same week, which is not possible with Asian sourcing and is the main reason Turkish knitted fabric holds the position it does in this market.

Romanian textile activity is concentrated around Bucharest, Timișoara, Bacău, Iași, Cluj-Napoca and Sibiu. We ship to Romania from Istanbul on road freight from istanbul via bulgaria — the shortest overland route to any eu member state after greece, and under the EU-Turkey customs union industrial goods move without customs duty provided a valid A.TR certificate accompanies the shipment.

Buying jersey fabric to Romania — common questions

What is the minimum order for jersey fabric?
50 kg per colour. That is a deliberately low threshold: it lets a Romanian buyer test a quality and a shade on a real production run before committing to a full season. Stock colours are dispatched from Istanbul in 2-5 working days.
How long does delivery to Romania take?
3-5 working days once the goods leave Istanbul, road freight from istanbul via bulgaria — the shortest overland route to any eu member state after greece. Add 2-5 working days for stock colours to be prepared, or 10-15 working days if the order requires custom dyeing.
Can you work to a client brand's fabric specification?
Yes, and for lohn manufacturers this is usually the whole question. If the Western European brand you produce for has issued a spec — weight, composition, shrinkage, colour fastness, a named Pantone — send it to us and we will confirm in writing what we can hold before you commit. Where a requirement is outside what we produce, we will say so rather than quote and hope.
How fast can you turn around a repeat order for a running programme?
For a stock colour, dispatch is 2-5 working days and road transit to Romania is 3-5 — so a repeat placed on Monday can realistically be on the cutting table the following week. That is the practical reason Turkish fabric holds its position against Asian sourcing in Romanian CMT work: it is not only the unit price, it is being able to re-cut inside a season.
Do I pay customs duty on Turkish fabric?
No, provided the shipment is accompanied by a valid A.TR movement certificate. Turkey and the EU form a customs union for industrial products, and knitted fabric falls within it. We issue the A.TR with every EU shipment as standard, along with the commercial invoice, packing list and transport document.
Can you match a specific Pantone colour?
Yes. Custom Pantone or RAL dyeing is available from 50 kg per colour and takes 10-15 working days including production. This is the standard route for brand programmes that have to hit a fixed corporate shade.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes, and we recommend it. We send a physical sample free of charge — with a knitted fabric, hand feel and pile height are things you have to touch, and no photograph or screen colour settles the question.
What certifications do you hold?
The dyehouse we work with operates to GOTS, BCI and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I, the class that covers articles in direct contact with babies' skin. Documents are provided on request. Please note we do not hold GRS certification and do not claim it.
