Activewear, Knitwear & Caps Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Kenya

Kenya is East Africa's main import gateway, with Mombasa clearing cargo for Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and eastern DR Congo, and Nairobi's wholesale districts supplying shops across the region.

Buyers here are importers in Nairobi and Mombasa supply wholesalers in Gikomba and Eastleigh and retail chains; school-uniform suppliers and workwear contractors buy ready-made lines.

Buyers want durable cotton T-shirts, jeans, school uniforms, kidswear, and hoodies; workwear sells to mining and construction firms.

Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons.

Imports are cleared through KRA's iCMS with an import declaration; some goods need a Certificate of Conformity under the pre-export verification programme. Confirm with a clearing agent.

Duties and taxes: Import duty plus VAT under the EAC Common External 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.

Hoodies & Sweatshirts: Pullover and zip hoodies, crew sweatshirts and oversized fleece tops in cotton-polyester fleece for retail and promotions. Typically 800–1,500 pieces per style, up to three colours; lead time 40–55 days.

Sportswear & Jerseys: Sublimated team jerseys, cricket and football kits, training tops and shorts in dry-fit polyester for clubs and retailers.

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 in Nairobi and Mombasa supply wholesalers in Gikomba and Eastleigh and retail chains; school-uniform suppliers and workwear contractors buy ready-made lines.

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 Kenya 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.

Fabrics: Cotton French terry, brushed fleece, interlock, polyester micro-mesh, dry-fit knit.

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.

Decoration: Sublimation, screen print, embroidery, applique, heat-transfer.

Branding: Private label, woven labels, hang tags, barcodes.

Packing: Individual polybag, ratio-packed cartons, compressed packing for hoodies.
