Prodem: production on demand
Workwear made to order
We produce garments only when you need them. We reduce waste, while paying extra attention to quality.
What is Prodem?
Welcome to Prodem – Lindström’s unique on-demand production model designed to give you high-quality workwear exactly when you need it. By making only what’s ordered, Prodem minimises inventory, maximises resource use, and ensures that every piece of clothing is produced with purpose.
As workwear is produced on demand, no unused garments are in stock or capital tied up in the inventory. Being stationed close to our customers, we also avoid costs and carbon emissions from deliveries and excess stocks.
Prodem in figures (2024)
In 2024, the average lead time for replacement and additional orders was 1-3 days for manufacturing and 5-7 days covering the total lead time.
Lean, fast, and flexible
By making workwear on demand, we can meet your needs with flexibility. Yet, we keep the environmental impact low. Once a customer order comes in, it signals a start of production in the nearest Prodem facility.
Here’s how we do it:
Lean manufacturing
Using techniques from the Toyota Production System to cut out waste and make each garment efficiently.
Short lead times
Quick turnaround for both big and small orders – no more waiting around.
High-quality standards
Our attention to detail means garments that last and stand up to real-life wear and tear.
Our factory is quite a unique place. We specialise in the rapid production of small-scale orders, catering to tight timelines with exceptional efficiency. Normally in garment manufacturing, you have lead times of 40 to 60, or even 100 days, and order sizes in hundreds and even thousands at the same time.

Sustainability in every step
Prodem is more than a manufacturing model; it’s a step towards a more sustainable textile industry. By only producing on demand, we prevent overproduction and waste. It serves as an effective way to eliminate the textile obsolete risk in the stocks. Each step, from sourcing durable, certified materials to recycling production scraps, is designed to reduce our footprint.
