We are both an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) of knitwear garments to renowned U.S. and European brands.

Founder's Message
I started my career in the knitwear industry 40 years ago in 1979 as a washing machine operator in Hong Kong. Through tremendous hard work, dedication, and commitment, I eventually obtained the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to run a factory in 1983. Since then, our company has opened manufacturing facilities across the Guangdong province, United Kingdom, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Our company has partnered with renowned U.S. and European brands for more than thirty years and has become an industry leader in knitwear manufacturing.
Every day our company works to ensure the highest service, quality, and 100% on-time delivery.
We also build long-term relationships with the highest level of integrity with our customers, suppliers, and employees. Our company treats every piece of clothing with care, dignity, and respect so that our end-consumers can wear our clothing with pride and confidence.
Our latest production facility in Myanmar is the culmination of my life-long experience in knitwear manufacturing. It is a state-of-the-art facility like no other.
I am absolute certain that you will fall in love with our production facility and company just like I have and I look forward to you joining us in our journey and mission to create tremendous positive social impact and continue being a world-class knitwear designer-manufacturer.
– Dr. Ricky Ng Wai Kuen DBA MH JP, Founder & President of Blossom Knitwear
