Quality as the Fabric, Integrity as the Thread
"Having personally carried the weight of every fabric roll, I learned early on that quality is not an abstract standard—it is a promise we weave into every yard." — Mr. Zhuo, Founder
The Textile Expert Who Truly Understands Motion
Every great journey has a humble beginning. Ours started in Humen, Dongguan—one of the world’s most dynamic textile hubs. Entering the industry in his youth, our founder, Mr. Zhuo, learned the trade from the ground up, taking on the demanding physical labor of handling heavy fabric rolls for a local textile merchant.
Day after day, as he moved and stacked these rolls, he was also absorbing the intricacies of the trade. He observed where quality inconsistencies arose, how minor fabric defects disrupted garment production, and what apparel brands truly valued. Armed with years of hands-on experience, he took a bold leap at the age of twenty and established his own textile enterprise, laying the foundation for what is today Cofinay (originally founded as XIONGQI Fabrics).
But trading finished goods alone was not enough. To guarantee the uncompromising quality that premium athletic brands demand, Mr. Zhuo knew every process had to be controlled in-house. This realization led to a lifetime of building: first a precision knitting mill, then a specialized dyeing and finishing facility, bringing the entire vertical supply chain under one quality-control loop.
Why focus on performance athletic fabrics? Because activewear is the ultimate test of textile engineering—where stretch, breathability, and durability must perform flawlessly under human motion. Today, the grit of our founder continues to shape our mission: delivering high-performance fabrics that brands trust and athletes rely on.

Weaving a Greener Tomorrow
Sustainability in Every Fiber
At Cofinay, our commitment to the Earth is woven into every thread. Mr. Zhuo deeply believes that industrial progress must never come at the expense of our planet. Globally, the fashion and textile industry is one of the largest waste contributors; every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned, releasing millions of tons of greenhouse gases.
To combat this ecological crisis, Cofinay has pioneered a closed-loop sourcing strategy. We actively replace virgin synthetics with high-quality recycled fibers derived from ocean-bound plastic bottles and post-consumer textile waste. Every meter of our sustainable fabric is fully certified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, ensuring absolute safety for both active wearers and the ecosystems we share. By transforming yesterday's plastic into tomorrow's athletic innovation, we prove that performance and preservation can co-exist.
