We Own Our Factory. You Skip the Middlemen.
Bente was built on a simple conviction: custom promo products shouldn't be complicated, overpriced, or slow. We own an apparel factory — knitwear production in Dalang, Dongguan — the knitwear hub; woven and cut-and-sew on dedicated lines in-house. All clothing — T-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweaters — is made on our own floor. For non-apparel products (drinkware, bags, tents, packaging), we manage a tight, vetted network of partner workshops. One contact, one invoice, one shipment. No trading-company games, no hidden layers.
The Story
For over a decade, we've produced apparel and promo items for brands across North America, Europe, and Australia. We started as a factory making Christmas sweaters — Dalang's specialty — and grew to cover all apparel categories: knitwear, woven, cut-and-sew, and accessories. Today, our ~100 flat-knit machines run alongside sewing lines, cutting tables, screen-print stations, and embroidery — plus a 5-person in-house design team that turns napkin sketches into production-ready artwork. Every order ships DDP — we handle freight, customs, and duties so you get one landed cost and a box at your door.
