Choosing

How to Choose Between Them

Start with volume. The giants on this list (Vinatex, TAL, FGL, PPJ, Viet Tien) run programs at 10,000+ pieces per style and are the right call for retail-scale orders. The mid-tier names (TNG, Dugarco, Song Hong, Maxport, Thygesen, TCE) quote comfortably from roughly 1,000 to 10,000 pieces, with most preferring the upper end. Thai Son S.P is the outlier: 200 to 300 piece MOQs make it the only true small-batch option here.

Then match the specialty. Activewear and performance work points to Maxport, Thygesen, or Thai Son. Denim points to PPJ or TCE. Dress shirts and tailoring point to TAL or Viet Tien. Children's clothing points to Thygesen or TNG. Uniforms and workwear point to Dugarco or Viet Tien.

One caveat that matters more than any ranking: if your order is under roughly 3,000 units per style, the best factory for your product probably is not on this list at all. Vietnam has more than 6,000 garment factories, and the smaller specialists that fit a 500-piece pilot aren't writing blog posts or showing up in Google results. Finding and vetting that factory is the practical hard part, and it is what Cosmo does on the ground. For the full vetting process, MOQ tiers, certifications, and cost benchmarks, see our complete guide to sourcing clothing from Vietnam.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the largest clothing manufacturer in Vietnam?

Vinatex (Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group) is the largest by overall scale, with roughly 95 percent of Vietnam's yarn production and annual capacity of around 352 million garments across 50+ subsidiaries. By single-company workforce, Viet Tien at around 20,000 employees is among the largest, and TAL Apparel produces 55+ million garments per year across its Asian network.

Which factories make clothing for Nike in Vietnam?

Maxport is one of Nike's named apparel suppliers in Vietnam, and Viet Tien appears in US customs shipment records as a Nike supplier. Eclat Textile Vietnam also produces performance knits for Nike. Nike's footwear production in Vietnam runs through a separate factory base; see our guide to shoe manufacturers in Vietnam.

What MOQ do top Vietnam clothing manufacturers require?

The giants on this list typically require 3,000 to 10,000+ pieces per style, and retail-program work at TAL or FGL runs far higher. Thai Son S.P is the exception at 200 to 300 pieces per style. Below roughly 3,000 units, smaller specialist factories not on lists like this one are usually the better fit.

How many garment factories does Vietnam have?

Vietnam has more than 6,000 garment, textile, and clothing factories employing roughly 2.5 to 2.7 million workers. The 12 companies on this list are the largest and best-known export names, but most of the industry is made up of smaller, specialized operations.
