Three Countries. Six Decades.
Founded in 1964 as a small commission dyeing house in Hong Kong, Winnitex turned 60 and has since evolved into the global strategic textile partner it is today.
OUR HERITAGE
Six decades of growth built on family leadership, vertical integration, and technical investment. The timeline below tells how.

1964
Hing Fung Printing and Dyeing Factory Ltd. was established in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong by the late Mr. T.C. Wai (Father of present Winnitex CEO, Mr. Jacob Wai). Hing Fung was Winnitex’s first production mill and started with just 8 small jigger dyeing machines, running about 72,000 yards per month. Within a year, Hing Fung expanded to 30 larger jigger dyeing machines, with a monthly capacity of 2 million yards.
1986
To satisfy our business’ rapid growth, we installed high efficiency continuous dye machines. We were the first in Hong Kong to offer wide-width dyed fabrics to our customers. With our existing jigger dyes and our continuous dyeing lines, our capacity increased to 3.2 million yards per month.
1994
Opened a weaving factory with shuttleless looms. We saw the need to expand upstream in the supply chain to ensure the quality of the greige fabric that goes into our dyeing and finishing.
1997
Zhejiang Hing Fung Weaving, Dyeing & Printing Co., Ltd. established in Xiaoshan. Winnitex: first foreign investor in Zhejiang Province. Imported Italian weaving looms and Japanese dyeing machines.

2002
Zhejiang Qing Mao Weaving, Dyeing & Printing Co. Ltd. was established in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China. Shaoxing was a strategic location for its proximity to Shanghai and Ningbo ports and our Xiaoshan mill.
2012
Winnitex again expanded upstream. We opened our own spinning facility and imported the latest Swiss, Japanese and German spinning machines. Our own spinning allowed us to control quality from yarn to finished product and made our R&D and products more versatile.
2018
Expanding into Vietnam and Central America has increased our production capacity and global reach. This expansion enables us to service different sourcing hubs, aligning production with our customers’ sourcing regions and bringing us closer to end consumer markets.
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic was challenging for everyone. Our number one priority was to keep our workers safe. Winnitex quickly decided to make the best out of the situation by focusing on upgrading and expanding our facilities, with a strong optimistic view on the long-term future.
2023
Launched a new website and updated visual identity to strengthen our global presence. The platform offers detailed insights into our fabrics and keeps customers informed with the latest updates, reflecting our commitment to quality and transparency.
2024
Celebrated 60 years with a commemorative video and brand refresh. Updated website, visual identity, and marketing assets.
Fun Facts about Winnitex
Winnitex's logo is a combination of the letters W, T and C. It stands for Winnitex Trading Company, our first Hong Kong trading company. It is also the initials of our founder Mr. Wai T.C.
There is another hidden meaning in Winnitex's logo. It depicts an image of a bat. The Chinese word for bat (蝠) is pronounced the same as the Chinese character for good fortune (福).
The town chosen for our first China production mill, Xiaoshan in Zhejiang Province, has sentimental significance to the Wai family because it is the founder's hometown where he grew up.
Historically, Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province was famous for the manufacturing of yellow wine, textile dyeing and soy sauce using earthen vats. Today, Shaoxing is still famous for their yellow wine and textile industry.
