Whether you’re a designer looking to produce an outfit or a buyer deciding on a garment manufacturer, there are several top lists of garment manufacturing companies in Congo you can use to find the right company for your project.
Lotus garment
LOTUS GARMENT COMPANY LIMITED is a one member limited liability company specializing in the manufacture of wearing apparel. The company has a registered capital of approximately 110 million, and is currently operating out of Congo’s capital, Kinshasa. Aside from its primary manufacturing facilities, the firm also exports apparel and supplies it.
The company has a small workforce of approximately 200 employees. Among its many departments, its supply chain division presides over the supply of clothing and footwear for the retail segment. The firm has been in business since the early 1990s and is a major supplier of textiles for the fashion industry.

In the next few months, the firm will be bringing on new staff and revamping its IT infrastructure. The company will also be looking for a new office space to house its growing cadre of executives.
Kahindo NYC
Founded by Kahindo Mateene, KAHINDO is a contemporary womenswear label that combines bold colors and traditional Congolese textiles. A graduate of Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago, Kahindo is also a contestant on Project Runway Season 12. She is a fashion designer who draws inspiration from her Congolese Avant Garde culture and travels. She designs for the modern woman who likes color and who stands out in the crowd.
The Congolese textile industry was aging and had a workforce that was not as efficient as their Asian competitors. The country’s textile industry was a victim of poor investment. The economy was further hammered by a civil war that ravaged the countryside and destroyed commercial crops. During the last years of Mobutu Sese Seko’s rule, production decreased by 83%.
The government attempted to protect its own brands and patterns in 2002, but was unsuccessful. Traders, like Mbombo, make up for the loss in profits by selling cheaper products. Chinese fabric sold for less than half the price, and even government customers bought from Chinese dealers.
Syntexkin, a textile factory in Lubumbashi, was the economic heart of the city. It produced thousands of rectangles of cotton cloth, ranging from swirls to brightly colored prints. It also designed patterns for daily objects. These prints were exported to other African countries. But when the Chinese entered the Congo’s markets, Syntexkin’s designs were duplicated in China on thinner fabric and sold for a fraction of the price.
Kahindo Mateene
Founded in 2009 by Congolese designer Kahindo Mateene, KAHINDO is an independent woman’s ready-to-wear design label. It is a combination of mid-century Americana silhouettes and traditional Congolese influences. The brand’s slogan is “the best of both worlds: bold, edgy, and modern.”
The name KAHINDO actually comes from the French word ‘kahindo’, which means ‘to know.’ The label’s mission is to empower women in the Democratic Republic of Congo through education, healing arts programs, and employment opportunities.
The label’s top of the line collection was unveiled at the African International Fashion (AIF) in New York City on March 11, 2012. The collection is a celebration of the natural beauty of Africa. The brand also uses eco-friendly practices to produce its garments.
Having made her mark in the world of fashion, Kahindo is now moving on to her next project, MamAfrica, a nonprofit organization that provides education, healing arts programs, and employment opportunities to women in the DRC. She recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for this project. She hopes the collaboration will not only help the women involved but also create a new market for African-owned clothing brands.
As a designer with an eye for the big picture, Kahindo is a firm believer that empowering women will help the country in reducing poverty. In addition to her design and marketing endeavors, she has traveled to multiple continents and sat in on many cultural experiences. She is especially inspired by the art and culture of her native country, the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The company has been in business for over 40 years. It is vertically integrated, meaning it covers all sourcing and manufacturing services.
LionDove
Located in Cairo, Egypt, LionDove is a fast-fashion retailer that provides a wide range of men’s apparel. Although this brand isn’t new to the industry, it is gaining recognition in the East African market, with European companies such as H&M and Primark starting to source garments from the country.
Aside from the brand’s impressive product lineup, the company has also garnered much attention because of its innovative approach to marketing and operations. For example, it is one of the largest garment factories in the region, with an average of 1,500 employees, and foreign direct investments have helped boost capacity. However, the best part is that the company has a lot of room to grow. As a result, it isn’t a bad idea for the industry to take note of the country’s potential and get ahead of the game.
It’s worth noting that the name of the Egyptian company’s most successful product, the PVH neckwear, actually belongs to SILKOHOL TEXTILE CO. The company operates eight garment and textiles manufacturing facilities in Egypt. Other than its mainstay men’s wear, the company also produces a number of other high-end products, including women’s and children’s apparel. The most impressive thing about LionDove is its willingness to take risks, and its dedication to improving the lives of its workers and the communities in which it operates.
