Vertically integrated private-label & OEM knitwear from Pakistan — ISO 9001, GOTS, WRAP, OEKO-TEX certified. Trial MOQ 300 pieces. 35–45 days lead time. Ships to US, EU & 15+ countries.
We are a vertically integrated knitwear manufacturer — from yarn to finished garment, all under one roof in Islamabad. No middlemen. No quality surprises. Full cost control.
We produce private-label and OEM knitwear for brands and retailers across the US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia — with every stage of production handled at our own facility. No outsourcing. No third-party cutting or sewing.
EU Trade Advantage: Pakistan holds GSP+ status — knitwear exported to EU member states qualifies for zero or significantly reduced import duties, making Apex Global Export more cost-effective than China or Vietnam for European brands.
US Trade Advantage — Lowest Reciprocal Tariffs in South Asia (19%). Section 301 & AD/CVD Free: Chinese knitwear and apparel is subject to Section 301 tariffs of 25–145% imposed by the USTR, plus separate Anti-Dumping & Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) penalties on specific categories that can add a further 10–50% to landed costs. Pakistan is entirely exempt from all Section 301 duties and carries zero AD/CVD orders on knitwear.

Why leading international brands choose us over China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam
We are a vertically integrated knitwear manufacturer specialising in cotton-based products for global markets. With in-house fabric production, advanced machinery, and Pakistan's finest cotton, we deliver consistent quality, repeatable GSM, and lead times shorter than most regional alternatives.
Premium cotton, mid-volume, quality-focused brands seeking the best cost-quality balance.
Ultra-low price priority, very high volume basics, less focus on quality consistency.
Synthetic fabrics, brands needing CPTPP or EVFTA free trade agreement access.
Complex technical products, massive scale orders, wide variety of product types.
Single jersey, piqué, ringspun — FOB Karachi from $2.40. XS to XXXL, 30+ Pantone colours.
Basic cotton tees are our highest-volume production category. Premium ringspun cotton commands a 20–30% retail premium — our circular knitting lines produce both standard and ringspun constructions in-house. Our piqué polo is gaining traction in 2026 orders — quarter-zip and oversized variants are being specified more frequently than standard two-button plackets. The oversized drop-shoulder silhouette (TS-005) is now our fastest-growing T-shirt SKU — US and EU streetwear buyers are specifying it almost exclusively over regular-fit tees. Jersey polo (TS-006) is gaining rapid traction in Scandinavian and German markets as a softer alternative to piqué.
Classic single jersey crew neck in 180–200 GSM combed cotton. Excellent printability, consistent GSM, and clean seam construction — built for brands that need repeatable quality across large runs.
Fashion-forward V-neck with superior drape, knitted and cut in-house. Available in slim and regular fit with a clean, structured neckline — fully customisable in GSM, composition, and colourway.
Premium piqué polo knitted with a reinforced collar and three-button placket. Quarter-zip configuration available. Manufactured in 200–240 GSM piqué — customisable in composition, collar rib, and GSM for corporate, hospitality, golf, and retail programmes.
Luxury soft-hand ringspun cotton, knitted on our own circular knitting machines. Superior strength, colour retention, and printability — manufactured to premium retail specification from Pakistan's finest cotton.
Boxy drop-shoulder silhouette in 160–180 GSM single jersey — the dominant T-shirt cut in US streetwear and EU contemporary retail. Available with chest pocket, raw hem, or naps texture finishes. Knitted and cut in-house for consistent fit grading across all sizes.
Soft single-jersey construction polo — a distinct product from our piqué polo (TS-003). Lighter hand-feel and cleaner drape make this the preferred polo for contemporary streetwear and Scandinavian minimalist brands. Available in quarter-zip and standard collar configurations in 160 GSM jersey.
Athleisure market $425B → $941B by 2034. Our bestselling category — 280–420 GSM fleece. Pullover, full-zip, oversized, crewneck & zip-through silhouettes.
Hoodies and sweatshirts are our best-performing production category — fleece construction is a core strength of our in-house knitting and dyeing operation. Our 280–420 GSM fleece is produced and dyed on-site, giving us tighter GSM consistency and faster turnaround than facilities that outsource fabric. This is the category to focus on in 2026. Our pricing beats Vietnam by 15%. The new 70/30 BCI Cotton-Poly LSF hoodie (HD-004) is specifically engineered to match the hand-feel and weight spec that US premium basics buyers benchmark against — Pantone colour matching standard. The LSF Zip-Through (HD-005) is now one of our fastest-rising SKUs — Scandinavian and German buyers are specifying it almost exclusively over crew necks in 2026.
Premium fleece pullover with lined hood, kangaroo pocket, and flat-locked seams. Knitted and assembled in our own facility — consistent GSM, clean fleece lining, and durable construction across every production run.
Full-zip with YKK zipper, brushed fleece interior, and twin-needle stitching throughout. Manufactured in-house for maximum quality control — ideal for branded corporate wear, active ranges, and retail layering.
Timeless crewneck with set-in sleeves and ribbed cuffs, produced on our Terry/French terry lines. Consistent weight, even dyeing, and clean finishing — built for universities, corporate brands, and promotional programmes.
Drop-shoulder oversized silhouette with extended length, knitted in 320–380 GSM fleece. In-house dyeing allows precise colour matching to Pantone references — earthy tones, pastels, and neutrals produced with consistent batch-to-batch accuracy.
70% BCI Cotton / 30% Polyester Loop Surface Fleece (LSF) at 300–320 GSM — the exact spec US premium basics buyers are sourcing in 2026. This CotPoly blend delivers the weight, softness, and pill-resistance that pure-cotton fleece cannot match. The standard construction for private label programmes targeting Essentials, Champion, and premium athleisure price points.
Full zip-through sweatshirt in 300 GSM Loop Surface Fleece — the silhouette making the strongest comeback in US and EU loungewear in 2025–2026. Distinct from our full-zip hoodie (HD-002): this is a collarless, streamlined zip-through without a hood, designed for layering. The quarter-zip and zip-through formats are now being specified almost exclusively over standard crew necks in contemporary Scandinavian and German market orders. YKK zipper standard.
Hoodie + jogger matching sets — premium interlock & LSF fleece. The dominant athleisure format for US & EU buyers in 2026.
Matching co-ord sets are the single fastest-growing wholesale category in US and EU athleisure. Our interlock sets are produced on our circular knitting lines and dyed in-house, guaranteeing colour consistency between hoodie and jogger from the same dye lot. The interlock construction — denser and with a cleaner face than standard fleece — is what premium basics buyers and contemporary streetwear brands are specifying over standard cotton fleece in 2026. We offer both the premium 81% Ctn–13% Poly–6% Spandex interlock (richer hand-feel, better recovery) and the 100% cotton interlock (preferred by sustainability-led brands). Both are available in mens and ladies fits. Our Fleece Co-ord Short Set (SW-002) rounds out the range — matching crewneck and shorts produced from the same dye lot, and now one of our highest-growth SKUs by new buyer enquiries.
Premium interlock hoodie and tapered jogger set, produced from the same dye lot for guaranteed colour consistency. The 81/13/6 interlock blend delivers a denser, smoother face than standard fleece with better shape retention — the construction premium basics buyers are switching to in 2026. Available in Indigo and Blue.
100% cotton interlock hoodie and jogger set — the preferred specification for sustainability-led and organic-focused brands. Cleaner label, fully compostable fibre story, and a structured interlock hand-feel that outperforms standard 100% cotton fleece. Available in Sand and Burgundy, with both colours produced in-house for batch-matched sets.
Ladies interlock co-ord set with a cropped pullover hoodie and straight-cut trouser. Produced in a ladies-specific silhouette — shorter body on the hoodie, cleaner trouser with a relaxed straight leg. Both pieces from the same interlock dye lot. Women account for over 40% of athleisure revenue globally; this is the most requested ladies co-ord format from US and EU buyers. Available in Blue and Sand.
Crewneck sweatshirt and tapered jogger produced from the same 300 GSM Loop Surface Fleece batch — guaranteeing colour consistency between top and bottom. A cleaner, more minimal set than the hoodie co-ord: the crew neck silhouette appeals to EU contemporary buyers, Scandinavian brands, and US premium basics programmes that want a more refined everyday set. Produced on the same LSF lines as our HD-004 hoodie.
Matching crewneck sweatshirt and fleece shorts — produced in the same dye lot for guaranteed colour consistency. Co-ord sets are one of the fastest-growing categories in US and EU wholesale, with major buyers including Gymshark, ASOS, and H&M Move placing repeat orders. Priced and MOQ'd as a set — both pieces manufactured on our in-house fleece lines for zero colour variance between top and bottom.
Fleece, interlock & LSF constructions — tapered, straight, cargo & track fits. Perfect set-pairing with hoodies and co-ords. FOB from $5.40.
Joggers and Pants are produced on the same fleece lines as our hoodies — making coordinated set orders highly efficient from a production scheduling standpoint. We can run matching GSM, dye lot, and colour reference across tops and bottoms in a single production cycle, eliminating colour variance between set pieces. New for AW24: we've added interlock joggers (PT-005, PT-006) to give buyers premium alternatives to standard fleece bottoms. The interlock construction is in high demand from US streetwear and EU contemporary buyers who want a cleaner, more structured bottom than terry fleece. For zip-through sweatshirt tops, see our HD-005 in the Hoodies & Zip-Throughs section.
Premium fleece jogger with tapered fit, elastic ankle cuffs, and double-stitched waistband. Manufactured on the same production line as our Pullover Hoodie (HD-001) — order as a set for coordinated quality and volume pricing.
Traditional straight-leg sweatpant with elastic hem, produced in 280–320 GSM Terry fleece. Consistent fit across our full XS–XXXL size range — reliable for sportswear brands, team orders, and promotional programmes.
Utility-style cargo jogger in comfortable knit fabric, with reinforced pocket attachment and clean seam finishing. A high-demand SKU for streetwear brands — fully customisable in fabric weight, colour, and hardware.
Classic athletic track pant with side stripe option, manufactured in 250–300 GSM interlock or French terry. Full XS–XXXL graded sizing produced in-house — suited to sportswear brands, school uniform contracts, and team orders.
Structured interlock jogger with a subtle pleat detail at the waistband — a premium alternative to standard fleece joggers. The 300 GSM interlock construction gives a cleaner face, better drape, and more structured silhouette than terry or French terry, making it the preferred bottom for contemporary streetwear and smart-casual athleisure programmes. Pairs directly with our CS-001 and CS-002 interlock hoodie sets.
100% cotton interlock cargo jogger with reinforced side cargo pockets — a distinctly different product from our woven cargo (PT-003). The interlock construction gives the utility silhouette a softer, knitted hand-feel that streetwear buyers prefer over woven cargo fabric. Cargo pockets are double-stitched and reinforced at attachment points for durability. A high-demand SKU for US streetwear and EU contemporary brands moving away from woven cargo into knit-based utility.
Full-fashion knitted garments — cotton, wool, acrylic blends. Fully fashioned panels, cables, jacquard.
Cropped, form-fitting button-front cardigan with ribbed cuffs and hem, knitted on our flat-bed machines. High-demand construction for contemporary womenswear — available in fine gauge and medium gauge, fully customisable in yarn and colourway.
Relaxed, longline open-front cardigan with cascading drape, knitted in fine gauge to achieve a fluid hand-feel. Manufactured to premium specification for contemporary womenswear and unisex brands — Pantone colour matching standard.
Half-zip and full-zip knit cardigan manufactured in medium gauge on our flat-bed machines. A versatile layering piece built to spec — customisable in gauge, yarn composition, zipper type, and ribbing detail for unisex and sportswear-adjacent lines.
Classic V-neck button-front cardigan, fully fashioned on our flat-bed knitting machines with ribbed placket, cuffs, and hem. Manufactured in fine to medium gauge — customisable in yarn weight, button style, and colourway for premium casual and smart-casual brands.

"We've been manufacturing with Apex Global Export for over two years now and the consistency is what keeps us coming back. Cotton quality is noticeably better than what we were getting out of Bangladesh, and their team actually communicates proactively — you don't have to chase them for updates."
"We benchmarked four manufacturers before choosing Apex Global Export. Their fleece construction and GSM consistency was the best of the group, and pricing came in 12% below our previous Vietnam manufacturer. Lead times to Rotterdam have been faster than expected every time."
"First trial order was 4,000 pieces of hoodies and joggers. Zero major defects, sampling done in 6 days, and they sent photo updates at every production stage without being asked. We're now on our fourth order."
"Switched from a Chinese manufacturer 18 months ago and haven't looked back. The in-house fabric production means fewer variables and tighter price control. Our cardigans and sweatshirts have been getting consistent positive feedback from retailers."
