The Full Package

Retailers demand goods that meet strict standards, and any misstep can lead to costly chargebacks or missed sales opportunities. That’s where Advanced Supply Chain (ASC) steps in.

Our Value Added Services (VAS) bridge the gap between production and retail readiness, ensuring every garment is prepared, packaged, and presented to perfection. From ozone treatment for freshness and hygiene, to flat and hanging processing tailored for retail or e-commerce, ASC delivers solutions that keep your supply chain moving efficiently.

We go beyond basic preparation with quality control inspections, steam tunnelling, and hand pressing for flawless finishes. Compliance is key, so we handle de-tagging, re-tagging, RFID integration, and custom labelling to meet retailer requirements. Plus, our co-packing and re-packing services make seasonal promotions and packaging updates seamless.

Partnering with ASC means faster time to market, reduced in-store labour, and enhanced brand reputation. Every detail is managed with sustainability in mind, helping you minimise waste while maximising impact.

Fantastic Result

We’re really excited to share some brilliant news this month: ASC has officially been awarded a Silver EcoVadis Sustainability Rating!
It’s a huge step up from last year and puts us in the top 15% of performing companies assessed worldwide - something every team across ASC should feel proud of.

EcoVadis is a global platform that looks at how businesses perform across four key areas: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. And this year’s results gave us a fantastic mix of wins to celebrate and clear areas to keep building on.

One of the standout moments for us was our performance in the Environment category.  While scoring 80/100 overall, we also scored 100/100 across policies, measurements, and certifications sections - an amazing result.

Because we’re a business that is heavily operational, we know our environmental footprint matters. Seeing such a strong score here shows that the work we’ve been putting in, from strategy to day-to-day decisions, is really paying off.

Overall, this Silver rating is a really positive milestone. It shows how far we’ve come, highlights the areas we’re leading in, and it gives us a clear plan for where we want to be next.  Most importantly, it’s something we achieved together. Every team, every site, every role has played a part in this - and we’re genuinely proud.

Speaking Up

ASC was proud to join Aimee Campanella from Reconomy and Rebound at the British Retail Consortium’s Sustainability Event, where industry leaders came together to share insights and best practices for driving positive environmental change. The event highlighted innovative approaches to reducing waste, improving supply chain efficiency, and creating a more sustainable future for retail. ASC’s participation reinforces our commitment to supporting initiatives that make a real difference for businesses, communities, and the planet.

Fab Fundraising

Our amazing team at Hunters Point Corby went above and beyond by hosting a delicious bake sale in support of Children in Need. Thanks to their hard work and the generosity of everyone who baked, organised, and bought treats, an incredible £722 was raised! This fantastic effort shows the power of teamwork and community spirit. A huge thank you to everyone involved.
