Why We’re here
To support responsible material sourcing.
Our Story
To digitally transform material sourcing.
The Material Exchange journey began in August 2018, when a collection of forward-thinking industry experts and pioneers in digitalization and supply chain innovation began to reimagine the way the footwear and apparel industries interact with materials.
Our Vision
No.1 marketplace for sourcing quality materials and accessories.
Material Exchange will be the company to deliver transformational change within the fashion “sourcing” industry through our Marketplace. We will deliver unprecedented levels of quality and transparency whilst enabling the fashion industry to sustainably grow for the future.
