Design & Development

At LODE, we specialise in designing and developing custom textile assemblies, accessories, and work-oriented components — from rugged pouches and reinforced casings to precision clips and technical inserts.

Whether you're working from a brief, a napkin sketch, or a complex CAD specification, our team translates real-world requirements into functional, durable products that meet performance demands.

We collaborate closely with your technical and commercial teams to ensure every detail supports how your product is used, shipped, and serviced. If you're facing a unique challenge, we’re ready to solve it — and we’re structured to move quickly.


Even if you’re early in the process, we’re happy to help shape the right approach with you.

Manufacturing & Prototyping

Our global manufacturing network spans multiple countries and production methods — allowing us to match your needs with the right process, materials, and location for every project. From technical textiles to complex moulded components, we align production with your performance and cost requirements, without compromise.

We work exclusively with vetted, approved suppliers, carrying out background checks and due diligence to ensure fair labour practices, safe working conditions, and consistently high output. Ethics and quality go hand-in-hand at LODE.

Need fast turnaround? We specialise in problem-solving under pressure, delivering fully developed, production-ready parts in as little as 16–30 days. Whether it’s a short run, a last-minute change, or scaled production with evolving specs, we manage the complexity so you don’t have to.

Supply Chain & Logistics

We know that even the best product is only as good as its delivery. That’s why LODE offers flexible, responsive supply chain solutions tailored to your operational needs — including split shipments, global warehousing, and region-specific distribution models.

Need 40% of your order now, and the remaining 60% delivered in two scheduled drops later in the year? We’ve got you covered. Whether you're planning a phased rollout, managing budget cycles, or matching delivery to project stages, we’ll build a logistics plan that works in sync with your schedule.

From streamlining inventory and minimising downtime to supporting multi-site deployments, we help you stay agile without compromising on control. And if you're not sure what your best option is, we’ll guide you — reducing lead times and risk while keeping things moving.
