The global knitted cardigans market is experiencing a significant renaissance, driven by the shift toward "slow fashion" and the increasing demand for versatile, multi-seasonal apparel. As of 2024, the industry is moving beyond traditional woolens, embracing high-tech synthetic blends, organic cottons, and eco-friendly bamboo fibers. In the post-pandemic era, the "loungewear-to-office" trend has solidified cardigans as an essential wardrobe staple across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Technological advancements in 3D Seamless Knitting and AI-driven pattern design are revolutionizing how cardigans are manufactured. Modern factories are now expected to deliver not just bulk orders, but high-precision, low-waste garments that align with global sustainability standards. As a leading manufacturer, we stay ahead of these trends by integrating automated production lines with artisanal finishing techniques.
Shenzhen SLO Fashion Co., Ltd. was founded in 2004 and is located in the Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China. Its parent company was established in Hangzhou in 1990. To accommodate rapid business growth, SLO factory was set up in Shenzhen a few years later.
The Shenzhen facility spans 35,000 square meters and features a state-of-the-art factory, dormitory, and recreation area. Together, both factories employ over 300 staff members and produce more than 50,000 high-fashion garments per month.
We have invested in innovative equipment sourced from around the world, including the Italian PGM automatic cutting machine and system, computer-controlled automatic sewing machines, template cutting machines, sleeve-setting machines, welt pocket opening machines, and a 3.5 x 2 meter fusing machine.
We utilize GOTS-certified organic cotton, recycled polyester, and bamboo fibers to meet the growing demand for ethical fashion in the EU and US markets.
Integrating AI for trend forecasting and virtual prototyping, reducing sample turnaround time from weeks to days for our global wholesale partners.
Real-time tracking of production stages ensures transparency and on-time delivery for complex, high-volume orders.
As an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) for over 25 years, our company is dedicated to manufacturing quality womenswear of famous brands. The products from our factories are extremely well received by our business partners in USA, Europe, and the global market. The core value of SLO is to provide sourcing solutions of vertical integrated design and production facilities under one roof.
Our management concept is rooted in "technology elevated" and "people-oriented". We are the combination of factories equipped with the latest technology, expert management, and financial stability.

Global enterprises—from boutique retailers in London to large-scale department stores in New York—require manufacturers that can bridge the gap between high-end aesthetics and industrial scalability. Knitted cardigans are no longer just winter wear; they are localized for diverse scenarios:
As a China-based factory, our advantage lies in our unmatched supply chain speed and ability to customize technical specs (yarn count, knit tension, button materials) to specific local market preferences.
We are committed to creating a healthy and safe environment, so everyone enjoys working in SLO as one family. Our belief is to enhance the talent of employees and put them in the right position. We concern about their growth and provide training and resources to reach individual career goals while fulfilling the company's mission.
We care about our employees. We offer remuneration packages and a friendly working environment, encouraging our staff to develop their skills and knowledge. This stability in our workforce directly translates to the consistent quality of our knitted cardigans and garments.
With a legacy dating back to 1990, we understand the evolution of knitwear better than anyone, providing a stable and reliable partnership.
Our Italian PGM machines and automated sewing systems ensure that every cardigan meets "Perfect Quality" standards with minimal error.
