Since 1986, fully integrated textile manufacturing company Panther Denim has been committed to delivering high-quality denim in its home market of China.
Following decades of success domestically, Panther Denim eventually incorporated Tat Fung Textile Co. as a subsidiary in 2010 to manage its growing international business. This “strategic move” helped Panther expand beyond its core market and meet the increasing global demand for denim, the company noted.
Fast-forward to today, and Panther Denim now produces over 60 million yards of denim fabric, 36 million yards of piece-dyed fabric and 12 million yards of printed fabric per year and employs more than 2,000 people worldwide.

“We have been leveraging our expertise as a denim producer for decades to develop a denim supply chain that goes beyond basic offerings,” said Tim Huesemann, sales director at Panther Denim. “Our goal is to create a sustainable denim supply chain that delivers both quality and innovative products.”
Continuing its rapid growth, Panther Denim plans to keep scaling its operations, starting with a Cambodia expansion. Toward the end of 2025, the company will unveil a new factory near Phnom Penh—the capital of Cambodia—designed with a focus on renewable energy, recycling and a closed-loop waste system, which Huesmann describes as “one of our most sustainable factories.”
While China remains a dominant player in both denim manufacturing and consumption, Huesemann noted that Cambodia offers a “stable workforce supply,” unlike some Southeast Asian countries struggling with labor shortages and rising
operational costs.
“Cambodia has significant potential for growth in denim production,” Huesemann said. “Our operations in Cambodia will be independent of our China facility, ensuring that our existing production remains unaffected.”
