About Koken Inc.

Knitwear OEM Manufacturer for Children’s, Women’s and Men’s Apparel | Integrated Production Services by Koken Inc.

Koken Inc. is an apparel manufacturer headquartered in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 1948, the company has extensive experience manufacturing and wholesaling knitwear for established brands, specializing in children's, women's, and men's apparel. Drawing on decades of expertise in product planning and garment construction, Koken provides comprehensive support across the apparel production process, from design development and sample making to pattern development, cutting, sewing, finishing, quality inspection, and shipping.

One of Koken's key strengths is its global production network, which combines manufacturing capabilities in Japan and overseas. Its group companies and partner factories include Fine Mode in Japan, Nantong Hongxian Garments Co., Ltd. in Jiangsu, China, and PT. KOKEN INDONESIA. Through close collaboration across these facilities, the company works to balance product quality with production efficiency. Its Shanghai office also helps coordinate and manage partner factories in China and other Asian countries.

The planning team develops products based on each brand's style and seasonal trends, translating designers' concepts into finished product specifications. CAD-based pattern making and CAD/CAM systems enable accurate, efficient cutting. At the same time, the company places importance on detailed manual work, such as pattern matching, to achieve a refined appearance and consistent quality.

Koken handles both sample development and bulk production. Experienced staff pay close attention to construction details, while quality control procedures include pressing, visual inspection, needle detection, and individual packaging. The sales and production management teams coordinate fabric and trim sourcing, production schedules, delivery dates, and quality requirements to keep the entire process running smoothly.

The group's logistics company, Koken Logistics Co., Ltd., manages needle detection, repairs, packaging, and delivery, strengthening coordination between manufacturing and shipment and supporting a reliable supply chain. Koken also provides purchasing and sales agency services related to import and export trade.

By combining an international manufacturing network with coordinated expertise in product planning, pattern making, sewing, quality control, and logistics, Koken supports apparel brands in developing and producing high-quality garments tailored to their needs.
