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

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 Nigeria 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.
