Vertical Integration
Our own fabric mill, with full in-house testing, supplies the performance and thermal knits used in our garments, so quality is controlled from yarn to finished piece.
About Athletik
About Us
Athletik Clothing is a vertically integrated OEM/ODM manufacturer specializing in technical knitwear, with its production operation in Zhangjiagang, China, serving established and mid-sized apparel brands, wholesalers, and importers. We develop performance underwear and base layers, sportswear and activewear, knitted outdoor clothing, Merino wool apparel, knitted silk wear, sports accessories, and functional knitted fabrics, with FLATLOCK and ACTIVESEAM construction where appropriate. Public garment programs start at 500 pieces per style; standalone knitted-fabric projects are quoted separately according to the selected specification.
Our story
Integrated from yarn to shipment
What sets us apart is integration. From our own fabric mill to finished-garment construction, we control the process from yarn to shipment, giving brands a single, reliable production partner instead of a chain of separate suppliers. Over 15 years we have refined our technical capabilities around the seams and fabrics that performance apparel depends on.
