Fueled by digital and intelligent transformation, the garment manufacturing sector in Dalian, Liaoning Province, is embracing a shift toward high value-added made-to-measure services.
Data from Dalian Customs show that in the first half of this year, the northeastern port city of Dalian achieved garment exports worth 445 million yuan ($62.5 million) in the customized category, marking a 2.9 percent year-on-year growth.
Dalian-based Dayang Group Co Ltd, a large-scale exporter of made-to-measure suits, is at the forefront of this transformation with its intelligent production line. Established in 1979, Dayang Group has evolved from a rural workshop in Pulandian district to become a key exporter of suits in China and a global AI-driven made-to-measure garment producer.
Customers abroad can also visit Dayang’s stores for custom fittings or upload data through the flexible customization system. Order information is automatically allocated to the production system, with a made-to-measure suit typically made within one working day.
Dalian’s Pulandian district has a rich history of clothing and apparel industry development spanning over 40 years. Known as a prominent clothing processing hub in China, the district hosts over 400 textile and clothing enterprises with an annual production capacity of 82 million pieces or sets, exporting to over 40 countries and regions worldwide.
