Company Background

About Us

Driven by a deeply innovative culture, Dakota has long been one of the leading garment manufacturers in Asia. The Hong Kong-based company owes its success to a pioneering spirit of innovation coupled with a forward-looking attitude – seeking to solve potential problems even before they arise. It pursues breakthrough transformations in its business model which make Dakota a game-changer in the industry.
Dakota Industrial was established in 1979 by the Tsang brothers. In those early days, Dakota was just a single garment unit situated in a small industrial building in Hong Kong, with scarcely 20 sewing machines.

With the brothers’ strong dedication to craftsmanship, commitment to quality, and a determination to deliver a high level of customer service, Dakota has grown into a leading garment manufacturer.

We now employ over 10,000 people and have 6 offices and 5 production units across Asia. More than 500 million pieces of garment have been produced over the years.
