## About

ABOUT REDKEY
Built From Manufacturing. Expanded by Vision.

REDKEY grew from real production experience into a wider structure for emerging brands — helping entrepreneurs move from concept to product with clearer direction, stronger preparation and better market awareness.


HOW WE WORK
From factory know-how to a more strategic role.
REDKEY combines technical understanding with a broader view of what a startup needs to launch well. That means helping brands think through product, materials, prototypes and production in a more connected way.
- Closer to a development partner than a pure manufacturer
- Structured for startups and premium emerging brands
- Connected to a wider companies group that supports launch and growth


"REDKEY DON'T JUST MAKE PRODUCTS WE HELP EMERGENCY BRANDS BUILD AN IDENTITY"
Vítor Ferreira
CEO, REDKEY

## FAQ

### What types of brands do you work with?

Startups and premium emerging brands building their first or early collections. REDKEY is particularly suited to founders who need technical direction and sourcing knowledge alongside production capacity, not just a factory that executes orders.

### What product categories do you produce?

Casualwear (t-shirts, hoodies, sweats, knit pants), activewear (leggings, tops, shorts, jackets, padel and running apparel), swimwear (bikinis, swimsuits, men's swim shorts), beachwear (dresses, covers, pareos), and contemporary women's clothing in knit and woven fabrics.

### Do you handle development as well as production?

Yes. REDKEY covers product development from the early stages, material direction, prototyping, sampling, through to production. The process is designed for brands that are still building clarity around their product, not only for brands with a finished tech pack ready to manufacture.
