Established in 1954, I YU Band Knitting Factory Limited started business in a humble 1,000 square feet factory in Hong Kong with just six staff and four wooden Band Knitting machines and rapidly migrated to Braiding Machines during the 1980s.
Lian Yi Band Knitting Factory, one of the earliest factories to move to mainland China, was established in Dongguang in the 1980s. The 60,000 square feet factory had 1,000 Band Knitting machines, including a 3-48 Braiding Machine which became a key tool in broadening our range of products at the time. As the 1990s approached, 80 Miller High Performance Narrow Fabric Machines, and Computer Jacquard Machines were added. In the begining of 2000, Computer Knitting Machines, and Japanese Computer Torchon Lace Machines were added into the production range. With this additional production capability and 200 more employees joining the company, our aim in providing better services and more popular and fashionable bands to our customer was realised.
1996 was the start of a new era for I YU. As Ba Kwai Band Knitting Factory was established in Mayong town to kick-start the dying business. The 40,000 square feet factory has 50 dying vats able to dye bands at high and low temperatures and an eco-friendly waste water plant to ensure all produce reach international standards.
After 50 years of continuous growth and development, I YU now has an annual production capacity of 60,000lbs (approx 10 million yards) of bands and laces and 60,000lbs (approx 12 million yards) of strings.
2004 is the 50th anniversary of I YU. To increase competitiveness in this market, construction commenced on Deer Manufacturing Limited in Guilin. The first phase of this factory construction will occupy 80,000 square feet. This is the basic production area. Therefore, double production output is predictable.
