ABOUT US
In 2002, The Sourcing Co LLC (SOCO) was founded in the Action Sports Capital of Southern California. Originally it started as a small apparel sourcing company but now we’ve grown into a global sourcing partner with 20+ people in our Irvine office and 10+ employees in our owned and operated office in Ningbo China, which was established in 2007.
With many long term partnerships with fabric suppliers, trim suppliers and garment manufacturers in China and South East Asia, SOCO has become a well-established and respected supplier for many iconic, high-quality brands and retailers in North America. We are able to consistently execute on our customers’ high standards, shipping 300,000+ units every month.
We are looking forward to the next decade, and we aspire to continue to grow our business through dedication, hard work and ethical sourcing.

Environment
The environment is very important to our company and we have been at the forefront of using recycled materials in our fabrics for more than a decade and many of our customers have adopted recycled products into their product assortment based on our sourcing offerings. We continue to work with yarn suppliers that are providing recycled and reused yarns and fabric and/or materials that been saved from going into a landfill. We are working with Social Compliant factories that adhere to all environmental laws to ensure that they are not discharging any harmful chemicals into the air or water.
Quality Control
Quality control is very important to the future success of our customers and our business. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons we have our own offices and staff in China and Vietnam. This allows us to ensure that no orders are being sub-contracted to unapproved factories and that all the quality standards are being met. We use the international standard of AQL 2.5 to check all of our orders, and we can provide higher levels of quality if required.
