Planning your workwear & corporate uniforms order for Kolwezi
The calendar in Democratic Republic of the Congo sets the delivery window for workwear & corporate uniforms. Hot and humid, with a rainy season from September to May in the south; peaks follow school terms in September and Christmas. For workwear & corporate uniforms specifically, industrial and hospitality uniforms are ordered through the year, with peaks at the start of contracts and fiscal years. Our lead time is 35–55 days; hi-vis and flame-retardant styles 45–60 days, plus sea transit of about 28–45 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of workwear & corporate uniforms in Kolwezi include mining and oil-field contractors, construction and engineering firms, hotels, restaurants and hospitals and security, logistics and facilities companies. In Kolwezi, they usually order 500–1,000 pieces per style; contract orders for mines or plants can be much larger and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Kolwezi
Kolwezi is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of workwear & corporate uniforms towards the lighter end of the range: Poly-cotton drill 200–280 GSM or 100% cotton drill and twill 240–320 GSM. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.
Sizes: S–5XL regular, tall and short fits; women's cuts available. Colours: Navy, royal, orange, grey, white, khaki and hi-vis yellow and orange; custom corporate shades.
Workwear & Corporate Uniforms made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make workwear & corporate uniforms in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Kolwezi 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.
- Colour: Navy, royal, orange, grey, white, khaki and hi-vis yellow and orange; custom corporate shades.
- Size: S–5XL regular, tall and short fits; women's cuts available.

Corporate uniforms for hotels, hospitals and security companies take a different path: finer fabrics, better fits, embroidered logos and a consistent look across hundreds of staff. We use the same suppliers and quality system, but with tighter finishing.
