Activewear, Knitwear & Caps Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in United Arab Emirates

The UAE is the Gulf's main re-export hub for garments: containers landing at Jebel Ali are sorted in Dubai's wholesale districts and sold on to the rest of the GCC, Iran, East Africa and Central Asia, while a large expatriate population and year-round tourism keep local retail busy.

Buyers here are importers and wholesalers in Deira, Sharjah and Ajman buy mixed containers of basics, kidswear and uniforms for the souks and for re-export; mall retailers and online marketplaces buy fashion lines and private-label ranges.

Buyers favour lightweight cotton and cotton-blend fabrics, modest cuts, white and neutral shirts, polos for hospitality and staff, and strong value in jeans, T-shirts and leggings; Indian, Filipino, Arab and African communities each buy their own styles.

Heat shapes demand all year, with lighter fabrics from April to October. Peak buying runs ahead of Ramadan and Eid, the Dubai Shopping Festival (December–January), back-to-school in August and the winter tourist season.

Garments are cleared through Dubai Trade, Mirsal or ATLP with a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin; fibre content and country of origin should be on the label, and children's wear can be checked against safety requirements. Confirm current rules with your broker.

Duties and taxes: 5% VAT plus the GCC Common Customs Tariff. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

Knitwear is the strength of Tiruppur, Ludhiana and Noida. Track pants, joggers, hoodies and sports jerseys are made on fast circular-knit lines, and caps and headwear are made in Delhi NCR and Mumbai. These products are bought by sports clubs, promotional companies, retailers and wholesalers, and they suit mixed containers with T-shirts and polos.

Importers and wholesalers in Deira, Sharjah and Ajman buy mixed containers of basics, kidswear and uniforms for the souks and for re-export; mall retailers and online marketplaces buy fashion lines and private-label ranges.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make activewear, knitwear & caps in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the United Arab Emirates market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

Size range: S–3XL adult; kids 4–14 years; XS–5XL on request.

Fabric weight: Track pants 180–280 GSM; hoodies 280–380 GSM; jerseys 130–180 GSM.
