Who We Are

Founded in 2016 in Ningbo, China, Exfatter Apparel began with a clear focus: bamboo-based apparel. We started by producing activewear, babywear, loungewear, and underwear for global brands—and we’ve never stopped specializing.

Today, we have grown into a full-service, vertically integrated manufacturing partner. Our capabilities now include pet apparel and textile bags. While bamboo remains at our core, we have also built deep expertise in GOTS-certified organic cotton, serving brands that prefer this trusted sustainable fiber.

Whether you choose bamboo or organic cotton, we are your partner in sustainable textiles.

Our Dual Expertise: Bamboo + Organic Cotton

We don’t just specialize in one sustainable material. We excel in both.

Material	Our Expertise	Key Certification
Bamboo	Since 2016. Tenbro® fiber, OEKO-TEX® certified yarn, and own fabric production	OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (yarn level)
Organic Cotton	GOTS-certified since 2018. Full supply chain control	GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

This dual capability means you can develop a pure bamboo collection, an organic cotton line, or a blend—all with one trusted partner.

Our Fiber Advantage

We don’t just make clothes from sustainable materials. We engineer textiles—from fiber to finished garment.

Unlike manufacturers who source fabric on the open market, we control our supply chain from the very first stage:

Fiber	Tenbro® bamboo fiber—one of the most trusted bamboo fiber brands	Certified organic cotton from GOTS-compliant sources
Yarn	OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified	GOTS-certified yarn
Fabric	Own fabric production—full control over quality and consistency	Own fabric production—full control
Garment	Vertically integrated manufacturing under one roof	Vertically integrated manufacturing under one roof

This full-chain control means:

Faster communication – one team, one facility

Greater accountability – we own every stage of quality

Our commitment to quality and responsibility is backed by certifications that global brands recognize and require.

These certifications are not badges we collect. They are the result of a decade-long commitment to responsible manufacturing—across both bamboo and organic cotton.

This video walks through our key production stages: fabric inspection, automatic cutting, heat transfer printing, skilled sewing, quality control, ironing, folding, needle detection, and eco-friendly packaging.

All fabrics will be inspected before bulk cutting, to make sure the fabric quality is good.

Cutting the fabric as per the shape of the pattern after spreading.

Using the automatic cutting machine for big quantities is more efficient and accurate

Heat transfer printing is the best choice for baby clothes and underwear.

We use the latest sewing machines and our workers are all skilled with more than five years of experience.

We implement robust quality control procedures throughout our production chain.

Each piece will be ironed carefully, and make sure all pieces are not wrinkled before packing.

All pieces will be folded to fit the carton boxes before packing them with biodegradable bags.

Each piece has to pass the needle inspection for safety.
