Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd. (Unitex Underwear) is an underwear OEM/ODM sourcing company headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China — men’s, women’s and kids’ knitted underwear produced through long-term BSCI-audited partner factories across the Fujian knitwear corridor, with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified materials, MOQ 2,000 pcs per style and colour, FOB Xiamen.
Xiamen Underwear Supplier: What That Means for a Buyer
Searching for a Xiamen underwear supplier returns two very different kinds of company, and the difference decides how your programme runs. A single factory sells you its own machine park: its gauge, its capacity ceiling, its fabric relationships. A Xiamen-based sourcing company like Unitex works the other way around — we hold your specification, QC checkpoints and delivery date, and match each order to the partner factory whose lines fit that style, quantity and compliance requirement. One counterpart, one measurement chart, one AQL 2.5 standard across every factory that touches your programme.
This is not a middleman markup model. Our partner factories are long-term relationships across Xiamen, Quanzhou and Jinjiang — the densest knitwear underwear cluster in China — and our coordination covers pattern making, fabric and waistband sourcing, sampling, inline and final inspection, and export documentation. You get the cluster’s full capability without managing five factory relationships yourself.
If you have been comparing Xiamen underwear manufacturers, the practical question is not which one is biggest but which one fits your order. A sourcing company can move a programme to whichever partner has the right gauge, the right fabric relationships and free capacity for your window; a single factory can only offer its own. We publish our partner network, audit status and capacity approach openly, so you can judge that trade-off on real information.
The Fujian Knitwear Corridor: Xiamen · Quanzhou · Jinjiang
Fujian Province is where China’s knitted underwear is made. Within a short radius of Xiamen sit the fabric knitting mills, elastic and waistband weavers, dyeing and finishing houses, and accessory suppliers that an underwear programme depends on — plus the Quanzhou–Jinjiang corridor’s deep bench of cut-and-sew factories. For a buyer this concentration has a practical consequence: development cycles are short because nothing has to travel far, and capacity can be re-allocated between partner factories when a programme grows or a delivery window tightens.
Unitex is headquartered in Jimei District, Xiamen (registered office: Unit 1501-1, Building 10, Xinglinwan Business Operation Center, Jimei District, Xiamen, Fujian, China), and has coordinated underwear export from this cluster since 2009 — Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd. was founded in 2013. Our QC team works inside the partner factories, not at the end of a container. Our liaison office inside the Jinjiang factory district — staffed since our founding in 2013 — puts our own merchandisers and QC people on the factory floor every working day, following orders on the line and solving problems face to face with factory management.

Logistics: Xiamen Port & Trade Terms
Orders ship through Xiamen Port, one of China’s major container ports, with direct services to Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Oceania. FOB Xiamen is our standard term — you control the freight and the forwarder relationship from a port that handles underwear exports daily. For Russia and CIS programmes we quote EXW Xiamen as standard; CIF and DDP are available on request for buyers who prefer landed-cost pricing. Mixed-style consolidation — several categories in one container — is routine.

Other China Sourcing Hubs We Cover
Buyers who are based somewhere other than Xiamen usually start with the page for their own city: the China underwear supplier hub · Shenzhen · Guangzhou · Shanghai · Beijing · Hong Kong · Ningbo · Yiwu. Each one sets out what that market asks for first, and how far the factories are from that city. If you are still choosing between suppliers, the hub explains how a sourcing company differs from a single factory.

Buyer checklist
- Ask whether the company owns the factory or places orders with partner factories — the answer decides how much your programme can flex.
- Ask which specific site in the Xiamen–Quanzhou–Jinjiang corridor will run your style, and confirm the distance from Xiamen North station.
- Request the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificate number covering your fabric, and the BSCI audit covering your production site.
- Confirm whether your quantity qualifies for the 1,000-piece trial or needs the 2,000-piece standard minimum.
- Fix the Incoterm and the port on the quotation before comparing suppliers on price.
- If you plan a factory visit, ask for the sample room and the production site on separate days — the corridor sites are not adjacent.
