Kingly makes the move to 24-hour production

Kingly has recently expanded its production capacity by 200% and from mid-October will run its production line 24 hours a day.

This round-the-clock manufacturing will start with revised shift patterns that give the production teams an equal share of shifts and are in full accord with SMETA PILLAR 4 standards.

Rotating shift schedules has been shown to strengthen teams and expand the collective knowledge base. Working a model of teams of four or five people over 24 hours means Kingly can use three shifts or two 12-hour shifts, to provide 24/7 shift pattern cover. Staff welfare remains an equal priority with top-quality production.

These new patterns of production will revolutionise Kingly’s ability to respond quickly to customer demand.

The industry standard turnaround for the production of custom knitted socks is approximately six weeks, with Kingly able to produce lead times from only two weeks.
