Elastic knit fabrics for swimwear, lingerie & activewear
Kbtex knits, dyes and finishes mid-to-high-grade elastic fabrics in Jinjiang, China — and ships more than 70% of them to Europe, the US, Japan and Korea.
Founded in January 2001 as K-Boxing (China) Warp Knitting, Kbtex Warp Knitting Technology is a high-tech enterprise that develops, produces and sells mid-to-high-grade warp and weft knitted elastic fabrics.
We were among the first national warp-knitted fabric development bases in China, run a national-level fabric testing laboratory, and have led or joined the drafting of several industry standards — including the 2009 knitted swimsuit standard. Our fabrics are used by a number of internationally known brands.
