A factory that does not supply fabric or trim is called a CM (cut-make) factory or, in Latin America, a maquila. These are terms which will gradually disappear from the apparel industry vocabulary because in the post-2005 era there will no longer be factories exporting garments on a CM basis. Working under CM terms, the risks to the buyer are simply too great. The moment the customer hands over raw materials which it has already purchased, the customer and its order become hostage to the factory.
