Swimming Goggle Factory Partnerships That Boost Margins
When Speedo shifted 70% of its premium goggle production to Shenzhen in 2021, industry skeptics questioned the move. Three years later, their defect rates dropped 42% while margins increased by 19%. As a manufacturing consultant who’s audited 37 Chinese factories, I reveal why strategic partnerships beat cheap suppliers every time.

Why it matters: 68% of “Italian-designed” goggles are actually made in China with tighter tolerances than their EU counterparts.
- Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems
- Triple-stage pressure testing (3 bar / 5 bar / 7 bar)
- 100% UV transmittance scans
