Apparel manufacturing is largely done in Asia
due to economies of scale and cheap labor
...but it's slow, dirty, and wasteful


We bring competitive apparel manufacturing
back to EU from Asia
Brands can get a more sustainable & secure supply for the same total cost

Our patented O-FACTORY® combines
Best-Available-Technologies and our own innovations in software and hardware,
enabling the First-Of-A-Kind end-to-end
clothing automation process

-
What does “Rodinia” mean?Rodinia was a supercontinent approximately 1 billion years ago - a single piece of land before everything drifted apart and became fragmented. When things are far away we lose transparency and connection with each other. Our solution enables unity and proximity through onshore and local production.
-
Is Rodinia Generation a fashion brand?No. We are a tech-company positioned in the sweet-spot between software, hardware and apparel manufacturing. Our innovative O-FACTORY® solution is a patented apparel automation manufacturing system that enables local, ultra-fast and low-environmental impact production of clothes for fashion brands. We engineer, procure and operate O-FACTORIES® alone or together with strategic partners who share our vision.
-
Where are you based?Our headquarters is in Copenhagen, Denmark which also houses our first O-FACTORY® and R&D lab.
-
What is your mission?Eliminate overproduction through on-demand, onshore and low-impact apparel manufacturing enabled by a global network of O-FACTORIES® (Rodinia's innovative automation technology).
-
Who's behind?We're proud of being a multi-national team of cross-disciplinary experts in robotics, software, fashion design and production. Our entire team is based in the capital of Denmark from where we push the status quo of the apparel manufacturing industry every day for a better tomorrow. Rodinia was founded in 2017 by our CEO Trine Young, experienced print-and accessories designer within conventional fashion supply chain management, holds a Master-degree from the London College of Fashion, Design & Technology.
-
Who are your customers?Fashion brands (from mid-premium to luxury) in all sizes with established Code of Conducts for ESG and with ambitions to bring production closer to home.
-
What can be produced at an O-FACTORY®?80% of clothing categories in stretch and woven fabrics (both synthetics and natural fibers are compatible). I.e. ready-to-wear dresses, tops, bottoms, sports, kids, leisure, textile accessories etc. NB! See our strict policy on fabrics and environmental impact.
-
What is not possible to produce at an O-FACTORY®?Our technology evolves constantly, but we do not offer the following categories at this moment: socks, hats, scarfs etc, performance-wear (e.g. skiing, pro-biking, diving etc), heavy-duty (e.g. uniforms) lingerie/underwear (e.g. lace, bras, thongs etc), knitwear (jumpers, cardigans etc.), outerwear (wool coats, puffers, etc. however, trenchcoats, overshirts and lightweight outerwear are compatible).
-
What is the minimum order quantity?There is none. Our technology eliminates the need for MOQ's. However, in our Copenhagen-Lab we might request a low MOQ for a style (not colour-way), depending on the given style.
-
Do you print on both sides of the fabric?No, currently only one side of the fabric is printed/coloured. However, for thinner fabrics the colours may penetrate.
-
Are you a print-house?No. We are an end-to-end solution: our O-FACTORIES® make ready-to-wear garments from digital style-files as per request from customers (fashion brands). However, our solution have many benefits for printed product categories due to no color minimums, no up-charge per color, while placements prints cost the same as AOPs. For instance, we offer game-changing flexibility for ultra-fast turnaround time on placement prints, size-specific prints, all-over prints (AOP) and customised prints.
-
How can you produce so fast?This efficiency is achieved through our seamless integrations leveraging advanced automation in both software and mechatronics.
-
How can you document impact?An O-FACTORY® is first and foremost a data-driven process. Our omni-operations software controls the end-to-end manufacturing process. Every garment has a unique Product ID that tracks its journey from digital file to final ready-to-wear garment.
-
Can I feature Rodinia in my magazine/blog/podcast?We love collaborating with storytellers and press to spread the word about our game-changing solution. Send your request to press@rodiniageneration.io and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
-
Can you help with my student projects / thesis?While we’re honoured by the interest, we unfortunately cannot help at this point. However, if you're passionate about what we do, we’d love for you to consider applying for an internship - it’s a great way to get involved.
-
What’s next for Rodinia Generation?We're just getting started. More collabs, more data, more innovation. Stay close — this is a movement. If you're a potential investor or strategic partner reach out to invest@rodiniageneration.io or partnerships@rodiniageneration.io
-
How are you waterless?An O-FACTORY® is a waterless facility. However, our operation begins from the 'dyeing & finishing' stage and thus needs textile-rolls as input. This means that the final garment may have consumed water dependent on the type of textile and its production method. For example, a cotton t-shirt will have used water to water the cotton fields. O-FACTORIES® do not prevent watering of cotton-fields nor the water used by the textile mills. We work with only certified European mills with highest standards of environmental excellence.
-
Is Rodinia Generation better for the environment?Our third-party conducted LCA shows an average garment made by O-FACTORY® technology is 40% less carbon-heavy and uses 36% less water compared to conventional apparel manufacturing. Conventional chemicals in colorants are often harmful to the environment and some toxic to humans. Our strict environmental code of conduct allows only one type of colorants that hold the highest standards of health safety and environmental certifications: GOTS-ECOCERT, ECOPASSPORT, Oeko-tex® 100 Standard.
-
How do we get started with your O-FACTORY® technology?Rodinia is way more than a supplier, but that doesn't mean it should be more difficult. If you're looking to place a production order, what we need is what you most likely already have. See our Get started guide and reach out on we@rodiniageneration.io. If you're a larger corporation or have strategic interest in our solution, reach out to partnerships@rodiniageneration.io.
-
Is O-FACTORY® production very expensive?It is not. On some product categories the O-factory® technology can be the more profitable choice compared to Asia. To request a quote, share your tech-packs on we@rodiniageneration.io following our guidelines. If you're a larger corporation, reach out to partnerships@rodiniageneration.io.
-
Do you provide labels & trim?Yes standard trim. For specific trim, brands provide.
-
Do you offer pattern design services?Not as a standard service. We may accept projects of this character if we deem it of strategic nature to Rodinia. Contact us if this is of interest.
-
Can I use own nominated fabrics? (from our existing suppliers)We need to assess the fabric from a quality, sustainability and business perspective. Contact us if this is of interest.
-
Which fabrics can I use?Woven & knitted. Natural & synthetic. We have a library of certified and pre-screened high-quality fabrics from European fabric mills.
-
What type of print and colours can I make?Repeat prints, artwork placements, logo placement, text, gradients, tie- & dip dye effects, photo realistic - the sky is (almost) the limit (we don't offer glitters, metallics or neon at this point).
-
Can you print on t-shirts?It's not our technology. We don't do direct-to-garment printing (no standardised t-shirts, hoodies or sweatshirts here). We specialise in fashion segments with design IP.
