As a long-established fabric manufacturer in Vietnam, TRAN HIEP THANH TEXTILE COOPERATION (THT) boasts more than 37 years of expertise. It runs a fully integrated production chain covering weaving, knitting, dyeing and fabric finishing. Widely recognized for its reliable reputation in Vietnam, THT supplies fabrics to many sportswear brands including Decathlon, Columbia and PUMA. In 2025, THT officially partnered with SUNTECH and purchased fabric inspection machines to boost efficiency and quality within its quality control process.
As overseas apparel brands continue to raise stringent requirements for fabric quality, traceability and compliance, THT TEXTILE keeps upgrading its production and quality control procedures to align with international client standards. The company safeguards consistent delivery quality through standardized inspection protocols, while advancing factory digital transformation to reduce unnecessary production waste. Manual fabric inspection has long remained a major pain point that hinders stable quality output and efficient workforce management. Furthermore, manufacturing costs across Vietnam have been climbing year on year, with labor costs seeing notable growth. Raw material wastage stemming from repetitive manual inspection work also brings considerable cost challenges to THT’s daily operations.
THT TEXTILE aimed to resolve QC bottlenecks such as heavy manual reliance and cumbersome workflows by upgrading its fabric inspection equipment. Meanwhile, amid rising labor costs and stringent fabric quality requirements from downstream brands, THT sought to advance its manufacturing transformation. By deploying more automated production lines, the company intended to drastically cut manpower dependency, boost efficiency and simplify processes while sustaining production output. Ultimately, THT partnered with SUNTECH to introduce fabric inspection machines. This move optimizes quality inspection workflows and stabilizes defect detection performance, enabling better manpower allocation for large-volume fabric production. THT also plans to explore further automation opportunities and expand collaboration with SUNTECH.
THT TEXTILE chose to partner with SUNTECH because of SUNTECH’s strong overall capabilities, solid commitment to contract fulfillment, reliable product quality, and more than a decade of local service experience. SUNTECH’s proven fabric inspection solution has helped THT tackle low pass rates of finished fabrics and insufficient inspection efficiency, while improving workflows and operational experience for factory inspectors. In addition, SUNTECH offers promising AI visual inspection and automatic packaging solutions. It is expected that these solutions will help THT significantly cut labor costs, improve the efficiency and accuracy of inspection and packaging processes, and support consistent stable output of high-quality fabrics.
