Based in the heart of Cape Town, Velotex has been a trusted name in the apparel manufacturing industry since 1982. What began as a small operation focused solely on cycling apparel has grown into a dynamic and versatile business with over four decades of industry experience.
Today, we specialise in a wide range of apparel categories, including running and gym wear, athleisure, streetwear, and premium corporate clothing. Our expertise also extends to team sports gear for rugby, netball, hockey, and soccer, as well as jockey wear and custom-designed fashion ranges.
For established brands with existing ranges, we offer a Cut, Make and Trim (CMT) only service. Clients supply the fabric, trims, and completed patterns (graded to size), and we handle the manufacturing process, producing the final garments to your exact specifications. This service is ideal for labels looking for a reliable, experienced production partner to bring their designs to life with precision and efficiency.
We offer a comprehensive Product Development service designed for both established brands and newcomers. This includes pattern making, grading, and sample production, key steps in developing new garments. Whether you're expanding an existing range or launching a new product, we work closely with you to ensure the garment is production-ready before moving into bulk manufacturing.
We carry a wide range of fabric, from natural cottons to high-performance technical polyesters. With decades of experience working with performance materials like spandex, our team is equipped with the machinery and expertise to handle stretch and compression fabric with precision. We also assist clients in sourcing specific materials that align with their brand and product goals.
Our white label offering is ideal for clients who want to get to market quickly without going through the full product development process. We use our in-house patterns, stocked fabrics, and tried-and-tested garments, and apply your unique design and branding. It’s a streamlined solution that delivers high-quality apparel with your label on it, efficiently and reliably.
