AboutYeh Group
The Yeh Group business park is located around 30km to the west of Bangkok.
Today the Yeh Group is a reliable supplier of fabrics for the sports and intimate apparel garment industry. It manufactures fabrics from primarily polyester, nylon and spandex yarns. The business uses over 200 warp and weft knitting machines and has its own dyeing and finishing.
Following a reorganization in Spring of 2019, the Yeh Group retained a small garment production unit on their main industrial park, which is now being used as the foundation for a focused expansion back into garmenting. The inhouse production of functional sportswear provides constant feedback to the fabric manufacturing on the value and quality of fabrics being used.
Over the past 30 years fabric production was split into two separate divisions. One side focused on mass production of innovative fabrics for sportswear, whilst the other on functional fabrics for intimate apparel. Today the Group benefits from the vast knowledge of the workforce and is allowing market trends and garment requirements to identify which combination of yarns, functionality and knitting format is best suited to customer needs.
Over the years the Yeh Group has developed a reputation for entrepreneurial innovation through early investment into digital printing, the establishing of strategic partners in garmenting and lamination and being the first to set up an industrial CO2 dye house which allows polyester fabrics to be dyed without the use of any water. Today the drydye technology supplies over 10 million m2 of sustainably dyed fabrics to the world.
The products of the moment include a vast range of moisture and temperature managing fabrics, functional body mapping for shapewear, placement jacquards for sports, technical selvedge fabrics and a range of printed and jacquard options plus new designs achieved through specialized garment dyeing.
Customers over the years include nearly all global sportswear brands, such as Adidas, Nike and Mizuno and intimate apparel greats such as Victoria's Secret, PVH and Wacoal.
The family, under the leadership of Jimmy, are determined to develop the group into a truly sustainable business. The drydye technology, investment into newer cleaner machinery and the use of recycled yarns form a start on this journey.
The business is wholly owned by Jimmy Yeh and his direct family.
