Kevin Van Lancker

Making sportswear, and the tools to make it better.

Kevin is a Belgian founder who has spent more than 20 years in sportswear manufacturing. These days he splits his time between running the factory and building software to make production simpler — and he writes about it as he goes.

About

From the factory floor to writing software.

Kevin started in custom sportswear in 2002 and has been at it ever since. Over the years, the everyday problems of running a factory — getting patterns right, keeping track of orders, cutting down on waste — led him to start building his own tools to solve them.

Before manufacturing, he raced: he was a competitive inline speed skater, and that habit of chasing small improvements stuck.

This site is where he keeps track of it all — the work and the things he's writing about.
