OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
The majority of Reebok products are manufactured in approximately 724 independently-owned and operated factories around the world. These factories employ more than half a million workers.

A factory is defined as a manufacturing facility that: cuts, sews, screen-prints, embroiders, dyes, outsole placement/injection, stock-fits, washes, assembles, or packages at a primary or subcontract facility.

SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS
There are three main types of commercial relationships:

Direct relationships with contract factories We contract directly with some factories. These direct relationships account for 28% of apparel and 95% of footwear production by volume/spend. These factories are often part of a large company with factories in several locations. The Reebok country office in each location oversees this manufacturing.

Sourcing through agents Some orders are placed through agents, who select the factories subject to our approval. Most of our apparel manufacturing in Asia is purchased through agents. In footwear manufacturing most orders are placed directly, but we also work with three agents.

Subcontract factories Occasionally factories may subcontract parts of an order to another factory.
