Explore our diverse manufacturing capabilities across knitting and woven performance styles.
A premier global apparel manufacturer re-defining performance wear with vertical integration, sustainable fabric science, and high-efficiency logistics.
Founded in 2000, Ningbo Jinmao Import & Export Co., Ltd. has established a formidable presence in the international fashion supply chain. Backed by certifications including ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management), we integrate activewear design with modern ecological compliance. Our 50+ professional staff manage complex global operations, providing customized services across men’s, ladies’, and kids’ wear, specializing in highly technical knitting and woven categories.
From our corporate headquarters in Ningbo, Zhejiang province—the heartland of East China's advanced textile manufacturing belt—we coordinate an extensive, vertically optimized apparel eco-system that serves major department stores, specialty retailers, and hypermarkets in over 30 countries.
Why seamless construction has revolutionized athletic and compression wear globally.
Unlike traditional cut-and-sew apparel, seamless nylon leggings are constructed using advanced circular knitting machinery (such as Italian Santoni systems). By programming tension and loop variations directly into the software, we produce a single continuous fabric tube. This virtually eliminates seams, dramatically reducing chafing, optimizing skin friction, and improving aerodynamic fit.
We source ultra-resilient Nylon 6,6 yarn blended with elastomeric spandex. This material structure provides exceptional tensile recovery, abrasion resistance, and a cool-touch feeling. We also offer sustainable alternatives including GRS-certified recycled nylon, bio-based nylon polymers, and blends featuring Lenzing Modal and organic cotton.
Seamless engineering allows us to vary knit density across different zones of the body. We integrate high-breathability mesh configurations under the knees, dense high-compression structures around the core and quadriceps for muscle stabilization, and ribbed elastomeric bands at the waistband to ensure slip-free athletic performance.
How our localized ecosystem in East China delivers unmatched product consistency, efficiency, and scalability.
Our operations are positioned in the world's most concentrated textile development hub. Ningbo sits next to major yarn extrusion plants, chemical dye houses, and deep-water ports. This proximity allows Ningbo Jinmao to secure raw materials within hours, drastically reducing freight lead times, raw material shipping costs, and carbon emissions during pre-production stages.
We utilize an organized array of 30+ partner factories with 10,000+ skilled workers and over 100 dedicated lines. By spreading production assets across Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, and Zhejiang, we maintain cost stability. Highly complex styling and prototyping are executed in our advanced Zhejiang labs, while high-volume bulk production runs are strategically routed to inland facilities to maintain competitive unit pricing.
Why leading brands rely on our certified supply chain and end-to-end quality assurance systems.
To access top-tier retail spaces in the North American and European markets, factories must operate at high ethical standards. Our manufacturing facilities are audited and certified by major compliance institutions, holding valid certifications from BSCI, WARP, Sedex, and Disney.
We deploy dedicated, on-site quality control (QC) teams inside our manufacturing zones. Our QCs monitor yarn tension, seam elongation, stitch density, and dyeing consistency in real time, drafting standardized QC evaluation reports before any consignment leaves the factory floor.
To verify the chemical integrity of our fabrics, we partner with world-renowned inspection services such as SGS, BV, and Intertek. We provide certificates confirming fabric composition, color fastness to perspiration, dry/wet crocking limits, stretch recovery indexes, and strict compliance with REACH and OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
A detail-oriented look at how Ningbo Jinmao translates customer brand visions into market-ready retail products.
Our dedicated design and merchandising teams collaborate with your creative staff to select appropriate yarn weights and construction methods. Whether you provide detailed tech packs, vector files, reference images, or hand-drawn sketches, our designers render them into physical specs. During this phase, we map out functional fabrics and finalize branding elements, including custom waistbands, woven tags, and heat-transfer silicon logos.
Our in-house sample room is run by pattern makers and sewing technicians with an average of 20 years of experience. We produce fit samples within 7 to 14 days, verifying style dimensions, joint drape, and spandex recovery. Utilizing digital design suites, we optimize yield, reduce fabric waste by up to 15%, and streamline the path to bulk production approval.
Once the initial fit samples are ready, we send them to the client for sizing, comfort, and compression testing. We incorporate feedback to adjust pattern dimensions, flatlock seam placement, and yarn density. This step ensures that the final mass-produced apparel matches the physical specifications, grading charts, and performance standards of the brand.
Prior to bulk knitting, we confirm color match accuracy via lab dips, screen print strike-offs, and custom embroidery samples. Once color metrics and pre-production (PP) samples are approved by the brand, we secure matching raw materials and program our circular knitting machines to begin bulk production.
Bulk production is scheduled across our optimized manufacturing lines. We assign full-time quality assurance specialists to monitor every stage of production. From yarn feeding tension to cutting, flatlock stitching, post-processing, and packaging, our teams ensure that every garment conforms to your brand's specifications. Production lead times average 30 to 60 days from final sample sign-off.
We offer a wide range of specialized fabrics and decorations to customize your brand collections.
We form long-term partnerships built on equality, mutual benefit, and shared development.

How our flexible manufacturing model mitigates cost, inventory risk, and speed-to-market barriers.
Traditional manufacturing often forces brands to order high volumes to justify production runs. Ningbo Jinmao solves this by using pre-certified, shared raw material inventories. This allows you to launch small pilot batches, verify target market reception, and scale up production as demand increases, protecting your cash flow and limiting inventory risk.
By coordinating in-house design, localized yarn sourcing, and dedicated sampling, we cut development cycles down. Fits are confirmed quickly, and production orders are seamlessly routed to designated facilities, helping brands capture trending activewear cycles with speed and precision.
Professional sourcing insights to help streamline your procurement operations.
