Since 2004, we have operated one of the most advanced production facilities in Zhangjiagang, where we weave, knit, print, refine, and assemble our products - all to the highest German standards. Far from mass, low-wage manufacturing, our process reflects precision, integrity, and respect for quality.
We are equally proud of our boutique knitwear factory in Germany, where tradition and innovation come together to create exceptional pieces.
At our factory in Zhangjiagang, we specialise in soft accessories.
One customer once summed it up perfectly: we have three factories under one roof there – one for weaving and finishing, one for warp knitting and one for flat knitting.

Yarn Range
Exceptional quality begins with exceptional materials — which is why we never compromise on raw materials. Our philosophy is simple: buy well, buy once.
Our extensive yarn selection includes both synthetic fibres (acrylic, polyester, viscose, modal, polyamide, elastane) and natural fibres (wool, cotton, silk, cashmere, linen, lyocell, hemp, camel hair). We are proud to offer a growing range of innovative and sustainable options, such as recycled cotton and polyester, mulesing-free wool, RWS-certified wool from controlled grazing, BCI-certified sustainably grown cotton, and GCS- and SFA-certified cashmere.
With a wide spectrum of stocked colours for our standard yarns, we can create samples and prototypes quickly and efficiently — offering flexibility without compromise.
Weaving Mill
Quantity or quality? With us, there is no compromise — we deliver both.
Renowned for our exceptional expertise in jacquard weaving, we also excel in producing timeless classic shaft weaves with the same level of precision and care. With a maximum weekly capacity of 40,000 pieces, we combine artisanal skill with efficient production to meet even the most demanding requirements.
Finishing
Thanks to our in-house finishing, every piece is processed with the utmost care. Our wide range of machinery enables us to offer a wide variety of different finishing effects – from fringe turning to wet and dry finishing.
By using environmentally friendly processes and materials, we strive to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible.
Flat Knitting
With state-of-the-art flat knitting machines, we are ideally equipped to bring your designs to life. Thanks to our short production times, we can execute your orders quickly and efficiently without compromising on quality. In addition, we have an extensive library of our own knitting patterns that can serve as a source of inspiration for you.
Raschel
We are proud to be one of the very few accessory manufacturers worldwide operating fully electronic circular knitting machines. This unique capability allows us to create designs that others cannot — from intricate double-face patterns to sophisticated checks, argyles, and more.
Cut, Make & Trim
We ensure every product is perfectly prepared for the market. For us, a piece is only complete once all labels, hang tags, and finishing touches are flawlessly applied. A dedicated team manages this process with precision, meeting even the most complex customer requirements. Our services extend seamlessly to include all types of logistics, ensuring your products are delivered ready to impress.
