Find the mills and sewing shops to call, at the right time.
Oxpium builds the list of cut-and-sew factories, knitters and weavers you sell to, finds the owner, tells you when one of them has a reason to buy, and runs the campaign.

The shops that actually make things, not every apparel brand.
Search “apparel” and you get sewing factories with sixty operators next to brands that have never sewn a stitch. A spinning mill, a knitting plant and a technical textiles maker don't buy the same things either. Tell the agent the craft, the size and the area: it searches public sources, professional databases, job postings and websites, and removes the duplicates.

174 factories making for other brands, 52 of them in knits.
A craft
Spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing and finishing, cut and sew, embroidery: the agent reads each website and keeps that craft only.
Factory or brand
Making for other labels, a brand that has someone else make its product, or both: the agent reads it on the site and notes it in a column.
A real headcount
A headcount measured in professional databases, 10 to 150 employees for example, to reach the factories actually running production.
A profile
Hiring sewing operators right now, showing Oeko-Tex or GOTS on the website: criteria you combine in a single sentence, the way you'd say it.
The right contact at every plant.
At a sewing factory with forty operators, the owner sells to the brands, prices the orders and picks the machines. At a bigger mill, a plant manager or a production manager has a say on the tools and the schedule. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and verifies every email before it's added.

The owner
Their name, with their email and cell when there is one: at a factory of forty operators, the owner is the one who chooses and signs.
Production
The plant manager, the production manager or the industrial engineer, found by job title when the company is big enough to have one.
Products and runs
Shirts, knits, home textiles, workwear, the minimum order shown on the website: the agent reads each site and puts it all in columns.
Certifications shown
Oeko-Tex, GOTS, Made in USA, recycled content: the agent notes what each website displays, and says “Not found” when nothing's there.
Automations that watch for you, and tell you which plant to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: sewing operators wanted, a fixer role that won't fill, a new production manager, a new machine. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Plant-floor hiring
Every morning, an automation adds the companies that just posted a sewing operator, fixer or mill opening to the top of the list, badged “Hiring”.
Roles that won't fill
Every month, the ones whose fixer or technician posting has been up for more than 45 days move to the top: the skill is rare, production waits.
New production leads
Every Monday, the factories hiring a plant manager or a production manager are flagged: someone new is about to review the tools.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like factories adding equipment every Friday: the agent reruns it and tells you what changed.
A campaign that speaks yarn, knits and runs.
In the morning, the owner is at the cutting table or checking what ships that day, and before a big delivery nobody has time. The campaign writes and calls in the early afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday, from your own mailbox and your browser, and stops as soon as someone replies.
Subject Cutting at company
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Between deliveries
Emails and calls go out Tuesday to Thursday in the early afternoon, once the day's shipments are out and the owner is back at the desk.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list, next to the factory you called.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step rereads the factory's website or job postings to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as a factory replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Write “cut-and-sew factories in California that make product for other brands, with 10 to 150 employees”. The agent searches public sources and professional databases, reads each website to set aside brands that have someone else make their product, removes duplicates and closed companies, and hands you the city, headcount, craft and website for each. It takes a few minutes.
Ask the agent to read each factory's website: many show their products, their minimum order and the certifications they claim. The agent puts it all in columns, row by row. When something isn't published, the cell says “Not found”.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the factories on my list that post a sewing operator, mechanic or cutter opening”. The automation runs on its own, and the ones that just posted land at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge, the role and the city.
An email in the early afternoon, a call two days later, an agent step that rereads the factory's website or job postings, then a follow-up in the same thread. Nothing goes out on Mondays or Fridays. Emails leave from your own mailbox, calls from your browser are recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as a factory replies.
For 170 factories with their website read, 140 verified owner emails and about 65 cell phones, count around €45 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges several hundred euros for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Yes. Ask for the opposite: the agent reads each website and keeps the brands that have their product made elsewhere, with the founder or the head of production. If you sell sourcing, design, fabric or fulfillment, they're often the ones who decide.
