Top Clothing Manufacturers in Vietnam: Sourcing Guide and List
Vietnam is the world's third-largest garment exporter, with textile and apparel exports reaching approximately $44 billion in 2024 and an estimated $46 billion in 2025. The country has nearly 6,000 factories in the clothing, garment, and textile sector, employing roughly 2.7 million workers and producing for brands including Nike, Adidas, Uniqlo, H&M, Lululemon, Gap, and Zara.
Clothing and apparel are the most common categories we source. We've done hundreds of apparel products in Vietnam since 2012, and I've personally toured more garment factories than I can count across Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Hanoi, and the northern provinces. This guide profiles the top clothing manufacturers in Vietnam based on production capacity, certifications, export track record, and specialization.

Vietnam exported over US$46 Billion in clothing and garments a year!
One important caveat before we get into the list: the manufacturers listed below are Vietnam's largest and best-known garment producers. That means they come with higher minimum order quantities, often 3,000 to 10,000+ pieces per style. For many brands, particularly startups, e-commerce sellers, and emerging labels, the best factory for your product probably isn't on any list. Vietnam has close to 6,000 garment factories, and the smaller, specialized operations that might be a perfect fit for a 500-piece run of yoga pants or a 1,000-unit custom hoodie order aren't writing blog posts or showing up in Google results. That's where working with a sourcing company that has on-the-ground relationships becomes valuable, but more on that at the end.
Top Vietnam Clothing Manufacturers
Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex)
Vinatex is Vietnam's largest textile and garment corporation, overseeing dozens of subsidiaries that cover the full production chain from spinning and weaving to dyeing and finished garments. If there's a single entity that represents the scale of Vietnam's garment industry, it's Vinatex.

Thanh Cong Textile Garment JSC
Founded in 1967, Thanh Cong is one of Vietnam's oldest textile manufacturers. The company is vertically integrated, with in-house dyeing capabilities, and reported a 10% increase in revenue in 2024. Thanh Cong supplies international brands including Uniqlo, H&M, and Levi's.
Specialization: Diversified textile and garment production with integrated fabric dyeing and finishing. Certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SA 8000. Best for: Brands that want fabric production and garment manufacturing under one roof.
Duc Giang Garment Corporation (Dugarco)
Headquartered in Hanoi, Dugarco operates 11 member companies and 25 factories across northern and central Vietnam with over 8,000 workers and 160+ production lines. I've visited Dugarco's facilities, and they're well-organized, with clear quality-control processes at each stage. Their scale is genuine: they handle high-volume orders for the US, EU, Japan, and South Korea without the capacity issues you sometimes see at overcommitted factories.
Specialization: Casualwear, uniforms, workwear, sportswear. Both OEM and ODM services. Certifications: BSCI, WRAP. Clients include Hugo Boss, The North Face, and Ralph Lauren. MOQs: Typically 3,000+ pieces per style. Best for: Established brands needing large-volume production with diverse product capabilities.
Thygesen Textile Vietnam
Part of Denmark's Thygesen Textile Group, Thygesen has factories in northern Vietnam and headquarters in Hanoi. We've worked with Thygesen on client projects, and what stands out is the Scandinavian quality standards layered on top of Vietnamese production efficiency. Their full-package offering is genuine: they manage everything from fabric sourcing to delivery, reducing the coordination headaches that come with splitting these responsibilities among multiple vendors.
Specialization: Activewear, children's underwear, workwear, protective clothing, and women's apparel. Certifications: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, GOTS, SA 8000, WRAP, OEKO-TEX. Production time: 8 to 12 weeks, depending on order complexity. Best for: Brands needing certified sustainable or medical-grade textiles.
Fashion Garments 2 Co. Ltd. (FGL)
Established in 1994, FGL employs over 7,000 workers and is known for its sustainable manufacturing practices and wide range of products. The company handles in-house embellishments and finishing, which means fewer handoffs and more consistent output.
Specialization: Crewnecks, polos, hoodies, jackets, woven shirts, joggers, yoga pants, leggings, and bodysuits. Best for: Brands seeking a single factory that can handle diverse apparel categories while maintaining consistent quality.
TNG Investment and Trading JSC
TNG is a publicly listed company with a strong reputation for sustainability and worker welfare. I've followed TNG for years, and they're one of the Vietnamese manufacturers that genuinely walk the talk on environmental compliance rather than just holding a certificate. They offer end-to-end manufacturing services and export to major markets.
Specialization: Garment manufacturing and trading with a focus on eco-friendly fabrics. Certifications: Strong environmental and labor compliance record. Best for: Brands prioritizing sustainability credentials and ethical sourcing documentation.
Hanoi Textile and Garment JSC (HANOSIMEX)

Thai Son S.P Sewing Factory
Thai Son is a family-owned business that has operated for over 38 years, with two production sites and approximately 1,000 workers in Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Thuan Province. We've sourced from Thai Son, and the quality of the knitwear is consistently strong. As a family-run company, they're also more responsive and flexible than some of the larger corporate manufacturers on this list, which matters when you're trying to get samples turned around quickly or negotiate a slightly smaller order.
Specialization: Sportswear, T-shirts, jackets, skirts. Strong in women's casual wear, activewear, and yoga wear. Certifications: SA 8000, OEKO-TEX, BSCI. Best for: Mid-sized brands, particularly those focused on women's activewear and knitwear.
Dony Garment Company
Dony focuses on uniforms, outerwear, khakis, T-shirts, and accessories. We've worked with Dony on several client projects, and they're reliable for branded workwear and uniform programs. Their export reach spans Canada, the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
Specialization: Uniforms, outerwear, and custom-branded workwear. Best for: Brands and organizations sourcing uniforms, corporate apparel, or promotional items.
Maxport Limited
Maxport is one of Vietnam's most technologically advanced apparel producers, manufacturing for some of the world's leading athletic and performance brands. Their facilities emphasize precision engineering, innovation, and ethical production. If you're producing technically complex garments with engineered seaming or bonded construction, Maxport is one of the few Vietnamese factories with genuine expertise in that space.
Specialization: Performance apparel, athletic wear, and complex garment construction. Best for: Premium athletic and performance brands requiring advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Why Buyers Are Choosing Vietnam for Clothing
Vietnam has built one of the world's strongest garment manufacturing ecosystems, and understanding the landscape helps you evaluate manufacturers more effectively.
The country has signed 17 free trade agreements that give Vietnamese-made garments preferential access to major markets. The EVFTA provides tariff reductions on exports to the EU (down to 0% on qualifying garments), while the CPTPP covers Canada, Australia, Japan, Mexico, and others. For brands selling into these markets, the cost advantage is significant. On the US side, tariff rates on Vietnamese goods have shifted multiple times since early 2025 and remain in flux. Always check the latest rates for your specific product and importing country before finalizing landed-cost calculations.
Vietnamese garment workers earn approximately $250 to $350 per month, compared to $500 to $700 in coastal China. However, wages have been rising steadily, and the workforce shrank by approximately 8% in 2024, creating competition for skilled labor in some regions.
Most garment production is concentrated in the southern corridor around Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai. Northern production clusters in Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, and Thanh Hoa provinces are growing rapidly, with Nam Dinh alone home to over 6,000 textile facilities.
What You Can Source from Vietnam's Clothing Factories
After sourcing hundreds of apparel products in Vietnam across every category imaginable, I can say confidently that the strongest categories include:
High-Volume Basics
T-shirts, polos, hoodies, and sweatshirts. Vietnam has deep capacity in both cotton and synthetic knits with competitive per-unit pricing at scale.
Activewear and Athleisure
Moisture-wicking fabrics, compression garments, yoga pants, leggings, and sports bras. Vietnam produces for Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, and Under Armour, so the technical fabric and construction expertise are well established. See our full guide to activewear manufacturers in Vietnam for more details.
Outerwear
Lightweight jackets, windbreakers, and insulated layers. Water-resistant and technical fabric capabilities are strong, particularly at factories supplying Columbia and The North Face.
Uniforms and Workwear
Durable construction with custom branding. Multiple factories specialize in this category, with relatively low MOQs compared to those for fashion-forward items.
Swimwear
Quick-dry fabrics and sublimation printing for custom designs.
Children's Clothing
Vietnam has significant capacity to produce children's apparel that complies with international safety standards. For a detailed breakdown, see our guide to children's clothing manufacturers in Vietnam.
For niche categories such as linen clothing and sustainable, eco-friendly garments, smaller, specialized workshops in Hanoi, Hoi An, and Da Nang can accommodate lower MOQs and support artisanal production.
How to Evaluate a Vietnamese Clothing Manufacturer
Finding a factory is one step. Proper vetting is where most sourcing projects succeed or fail. After working with over 4,000 clients and sourcing more than 10,000 products, here's what I tell everyone:
Certifications Matter, but Verify Them
For US and EU markets, look for SA 8000 (social accountability), BSCI (ethical supply chain), OEKO-TEX (chemical safety), and WRAP (responsible production). If you're targeting sustainable positioning, GOTS and GRS certifications signal genuine compliance. That said, I've seen factories display expired certifications or certifications that apply to only one of their production lines. Always ask for the current certificate and check the scope.
Request Factory Audit Reports
Reputable manufacturers will share third-party audit reports. If a factory is reluctant to provide these, treat that as a red flag. In my experience, factories that hesitate to be transparent are the ones you'll have quality issues with down the road.
Verify MOQs Against Your Actual Needs
The manufacturers on this list typically require 3,000 to 10,000+ pieces per style. That's fine for established brands, but if you're launching a new line or testing a product, you need a factory willing to run 300 to 1,000 pieces. Those factories exist in Vietnam; they aren't on "top manufacturer" lists because they're smaller operations focused on production, not marketing.
Visit or Have Someone Visit
The single biggest risk factor I've seen in Vietnam sourcing is skipping the factory visit. Photos and samples don't reveal production line organization, worker conditions, or actual capacity utilization. I've walked into factories that looked great on paper, only to find half their lines idle because they'd lost a major client. I've also toured modest-looking workshops that produce exceptional quality for niche categories. You can't know without seeing it. Our guide to finding manufacturing companies in Vietnam covers the full vetting process.
Understand Payment Terms
Most Vietnamese factories operate on a 30/70 or 50/50 payment split (deposit before production, balance before shipment). Wire transfers are standard; letters of credit are common for large orders. For a detailed breakdown, see our guide to paying Vietnamese suppliers.
Get Samples Before Committing
I've seen brands place production orders based on a conversation and a product spec sheet. Always run at least one sample round, ideally two. The cost is minimal compared to receiving 5,000 units that don't match your expectations.
Work with Cosmo Sourcing for Your Clothing Brand
The manufacturers listed above are among the most prominent in Vietnam's garment industry and are a good starting point for research. But as I mentioned at the top, Vietnam has close to 6,000 garment factories. For most brands, the right production partner is a smaller, specialized operation that matches your specific product, order volume, and quality requirements. That's the factory you won't find on Google.
Clothing and apparel are our most active sourcing categories at Cosmo Sourcing, and they have been since we started in 2012. We've connected over 4,000 clients with manufacturers across more than 10,000 products, and a significant share of that work has been in the garment sector. Our teams on the ground in Vietnam handle supplier identification, factory vetting, price negotiation, sampling, quality control, and logistics coordination.
We operate on a flat-fee pricing model, which means our incentives align with finding you the right factory rather than the most expensive one. We typically get 2 to 6 original quotes direct from factories, giving you real options to compare. You get the full factory contact details and direct introductions, so the relationship is yours.
