About Us - 17 Years of Premium Sock Manufacturing

Our Story

From Local Knitter to Global Sock Partner

Founded in 2008 by Mr. Wang Jian in Datang Town of Zhuji City, ZheSock began as a small workshop with 8 manual knitting machines and a single shared mission: to deliver custom socks at honest factory prices.

Datang produces over 30% of the worlds socks, a region with deep textile heritage. Over 17 years, we have grown into a vertically integrated manufacturer producing 50 million pairs annually across our 12,000 square meter facility, serving over 500 brands in 45+ countries.

What sets ZheSock apart is not just our scale, it is our obsession with quality consistency, our willingness to take on small experimental designs alongside million-pair runs, and our genuine partnership approach with every B2B client.

Quality Without Compromise

Every pair undergoes 5-stage inspection. We use only certified yarns, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS organic, GRS recycled. No shortcuts. Ever.

Partnership Over Transactions

We treat every brand as a long-term partner, not a one-off order. That means transparent pricing, honest lead times, and proactive communication.

Innovation in Tradition

We combine Datangs centuries-old textile know-how with the latest Italian Lonati and Busi machinery to deliver the best of both worlds.

Sustainability First

From bamboo and organic cotton to recycled polyester and biodegradable packaging, we help brands launch eco-conscious sock lines that consumers love.
