High-performance garments engineered for structural integrity, comfort, and sustainable circularity.
Established in the year 2000, Ningbo Jinmao Import & Export Co., Ltd. has forged a stellar reputation as a global leader in high-performance apparel import and export. Over 20 years of intensive structural growth and market challenges have culminated in an annual turnover exceeding thirty million U.S. dollars.
Operating as a premier garment development house in Ningbo City, we focus on eco-responsibility, holding the authoritative quality and environmental management certifications ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015. With a specialized team of over 50 professionals in our central offices, we integrate a full-service infrastructure covering men’s, ladies’, and kids’ wear.
Our competitive advantage is driven by independent design and highly technical execution. Specialized pattern makers, sample development hubs, and a robust network of raw material partners allow us to engineer complex knit and woven activewear solutions, specializing in nylon spandex leggings, technical compression wear, and lifestyle performance wear.
In the global athleisure and high-performance activewear segments, the Nylon Spandex Legging serves as a benchmark of material science and ergonomic manufacturing. Unlike basic cotton-based garments, high-performance leggings require a complex balance between synthetic fibers to meet the expectations of modern athletes. As a leading manufacturer, we break down the critical parameters for nylon-spandex production:
Purchasing managers at global activewear brands require fabrics that pass rigorous quality controls. Key performance markers include:
We work closely with clients to source and customize high-grade technical fabrics, adapting weight, composition, and texture to fit specific brand positionings:
Beyond our standard catalog, we offer customized solutions featuring advanced technical fabrics such as Supplex Nylon, Tactel Microfibers, and post-consumer recycled nylon (GRS certified), providing options that fit both premium performance and eco-conscious collections.
We support private-label collections and brand expansions through structured design translation, pattern accuracy, and dedicated bulk monitoring:
Our design team works alongside clients to finalize technical packs from hand sketches, mockups, or physical reference garments. We recommend fabrics aligned with your budget, confirm pattern measurements, and select the optimal printing or branding techniques.
For custom developments, we translate brand directives into physical products using digital nesting and paper-pattern generation. We complete pattern files in 1 to 3 days, and deliver finalized prototypes in 7 to 14 days.
We manage direct production lines across partner factories in Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, and Zhejiang. Backed by over 10,000 workers and 100+ production lines, we handle orders of varying scales.
A regional Quality Control network conducts daily inspections during production. Bulk fabrics undergo third-party testing (SGS or BV) for colorfastness, fiber weight, composition, and tensile strength before cutting. We support eco-conscious brands by sourcing fabrics with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, BCI, GRS, and Organic Cotton certifications.
We work with over 30 audited factories carrying certifications such as BSCI, WARP, Sedex, and Disney. This network allows us to match production tasks with the right facility, balance order distribution, and maintain stable timelines. When brands require flexible ordering options, we offer alternative, pre-certified in-stock fabrics to help minimize raw material minimums and reduce initial investment risks.
We manage a 5-step, quality-assured production pipeline designed to mitigate manufacturing risks and maintain consistency across large orders:
We construct initial prototypes utilizing custom measurements and specified fabrics. Fit samples are shipped to the client to confirm pattern proportions and drape before moving forward.
We run dye lab dips to match target Pantone standards and generate mockups of custom branding elements, such as heat-sealed logos, embroidery, silicone grippers, and wash labels.
Using bulk-approved fabrics, trims, and manufacturing lines, we create a final Pre-Production sample. This sample acts as our direct quality baseline for the main production run.
We initiate bulk cutting, sewing, and seam reinforcement. In-house QCs monitor production lines, verifying stitch consistency, seam flat-lock tension, and general measurements.
After bulk completion, we draw random shipment samples to run final physical inspections. Finished orders are securely packed, containerized, and shipped via negotiated ocean or air freight channels.
Providing aesthetic value alongside physical longevity is a core pillar of our fabric finishings. We offer a full range of branding, texture styling, and performance coatings:
Our facilities handle direct embellishments, including high-definition flat embroidery, 3D raised embroidery, laser-cut ventilation patterns, heat-welded seams, and anti-static or moisture-wicking chemical washes.

We work with established global material suppliers and brands to keep our manufacturing pipelines aligned with international quality standards. Below is a selection of our supply chain and retail brand partners:
In response to changing consumer demands and evolving environmental regulations, we align our production lines with key industry advancements:
Developing stretch fabrics with built-in properties like thermal retention, antimicrobial silver-ion treatments, and certified UV protection (UPF 50+) for activewear brands.
Expanding the use of pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled nylon (GRS certified) to support carbon reduction goals and circular product design.
Using digital fit simulations to generate pattern models, reducing sample development cycles and minimizing fabric waste during early development stage.
Operating out of Ningbo, near one of the world's busiest container ports, we manage direct logistics routes to major retail centers. We provide localized trade documentation, customs clearance assistance, and duty-optimization strategies to help clients manage import processes across Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region.
