# MakeMine

> MakeMine is a US-based managed production partner for growing consumer brands. Apparel is the core business: we use established factory partners worldwide and manage production from sourcing and development through sampling, quality control, shipping, and customs, with a platform for production visibility and approvals. Brands can also use MakeMine to manage factories they already work with. MakeMine also manages custom-formulated, US-made beauty and personal care manufacturing at a partner facility in Ohio.
