Headwear manufacturing since 1979, directly from Gazelle's own factories.

47 years, and the factories are still ours

Gazelle has been making headwear since 1979. In that time the industry moved from trading houses to agent networks to marketplace resellers. We went the other way: we own every factory that touches your order.

Three factories. Ten million pieces a year. No middlemen.

Dongguan and Suzhou (Anhui) in China, Phnom Penh in Cambodia — three wholly owned sites producing more than ten million pieces a year, with over 800 people on the floor. When your programme scales, we add lines instead of putting you in a queue.

Ask a trading company where your caps are made and you get a name. Ask us and we show you the line. Crown construction, brim shaping, panel stitching and decoration all happen under one management structure — because there is only one.

What that buys you

• The quote and the production floor are the same company. No relay, no reinterpretation.
• The sample you approve is made where the bulk is made. Reproduction is a process problem, not a hope.
• Capacity follows your calendar. Three sites mean we can shift volume instead of quoting a date we cannot hold.
• Audits happen on our own ground. Not on a partner facility we have limited control over.

Sampling that keeps your launch date

Samples land in as fast as 3 days on standard constructions with straightforward decoration. Complex artwork, new materials or multi-placement branding take longer — and we tell you which category your project falls into before you commit, not after.

Some orders ship in a week. Standard constructions, materials already in stock and straightforward decoration move fast — we have turned those around in days, not weeks. Complex programmes take longer, and we say so before you commit. What we never do is quote a date we cannot hold.

Licensed to make what you sell

Disney FAMA. NBCUniversal vendor approval and licensed production. Alongside BSCI and SEDEX SMETA social audits, GRS recycled-content certification, HIGG facility assessment and Better Work.

Send your programme's requirements with the enquiry. We will tell you which documents apply to your order — and which do not.
