Company Profile
Our History
2003 | Starting with Ninglei Company
The development of Ningbo Dongbang Garment began in 2003, when its predecessor, Ninglei Company, was established in Ningbo, Zhejiang. The company started with the production of knitwear and casualwear, gradually building experience in pattern making, cutting, sewing, finishing and quality inspection through day-to-day orders. Although the team was small in the early years, its continued hands-on involvement with fabrics, workmanship and production details laid the foundation for expanding the product range and serving overseas customers.
2009 | Ningbo Dongbang Garment Formally Established
In 2009, Ningbo Haishu Dongbang Garment Co., Ltd. was formally established. The company began managing production, quality and order delivery through a more standardized organizational structure. Building on its manufacturing experience, the company gradually expanded into apparel development and custom production. Its customer base also grew from traditional garment orders to include overseas brands, wholesalers, retailers, importers and private label customers. During this period, the company further defined knitwear and casualwear as its core product direction, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, sweatpants and other knitted garments.
2013 | Team Expansion and New Equipment Investment
In 2013, as order volumes increased, the company expanded its production workforce and purchased a batch of new garment manufacturing equipment. The additional personnel and equipment eased pressure across production and improved coordination among cutting, sewing, finishing and inspection. The company became able to schedule multiple styles and bulk orders at the same time, while production planning and lead-time management became increasingly standardized. While expanding capacity, the company continued to improve its quality-inspection requirements, reducing dimensional and workmanship variations between batches and preparing for long-term orders and repeat-order programs.
2017 | Acquisition of Our Own Factory Premises
In 2017, the company purchased its own factory premises. With a permanent production base, the company was able to plan production areas, allocate equipment and arrange personnel according to actual order requirements, while progressively improving pattern making, sampling, cutting, sewing, finishing, inspection and packing operations. The company-owned factory also created better conditions for maintaining a stable production team, expanding order capacity and continuing to invest in equipment. Processes such as fabric production, dyeing, washing, printing and embroidery are completed in cooperation with long-term specialist suppliers.
2019 | Annual Output Value Reached RMB 100 Million
In 2019, the company's annual output value reached RMB 100 million. This achievement resulted from years of accumulated garment-manufacturing experience and also reflected improvements in production organization, quality control, supply-chain coordination and order delivery. By then, the company's main products included hoodies, pullover sweatshirts, zip-up sweatshirts, T-shirts, sweatpants, fleece pants and sportswear. As bulk orders and repeat orders increased, the company established a more stable production base in knitwear and casualwear.
2020-2022 | Responding to Pandemic-Related Supply-Chain Changes
During the pandemic, fabric and trim supply, production arrangements, international transportation and customer plans changed frequently. The company adjusted material procurement, production schedules and shipping plans to reflect actual conditions, while strengthening communication with customers, suppliers and logistics service providers. For confirmed orders, the team continuously followed up on fabrics, samples, bulk production and shipment progress, and addressed lead-time and supply-chain changes promptly. This experience further developed the company's order-coordination and exception-handling capabilities and improved the team's response speed when unexpected changes occurred.
Post-Pandemic | Strengthening Product Development and Customization Capabilities
As overseas customers' requirements for customized styles, fabrics and workmanship continued to increase, the company devoted more resources to pattern development, sample making and early-stage order communication. Customers may provide a Tech Pack, specification sheet, design drawing, reference image or physical sample. The company confirms dimensions, fabrics, trims, colors, printing, embroidery and packing requirements for each style, and reduces deviations in bulk production through sample revision and approval. The product range also expanded from basic knitwear to hoodies and sweatshirts, T-shirts and tops, sweatpants and joggers, sportswear, outdoor clothing, and knitted sweaters and cardigans.
Today | An Established Apparel Development and Production System
Today, the company has approximately 10,000 square metres of production space, around 260 employees and six production lines. The team includes pattern makers, sample makers, frontline production workers and quality-control personnel. The factory's Standard monthly capacity is approximately 260,000 pieces. Production schedules are arranged according to product type, order quantity, and construction requirements.
