ZHANGJIAGANG SHEPHERD INC.

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, Shepherd Group is an innovative, leading textile manufacturer specializing in the R&D and production of Merino wool knitted fabrics and garments. Leveraging a vertically integrated supply chain, the company provides "one-stop" solutions to clients, establishing itself as a leader in the sector for wool-based outdoor sports fabrics and sustainable wool textiles.
The company operates comprehensive departments covering spinning, knitting, garment manufacturing, dyeing, sewing, seam sealing, laser cutting, digital printing, embroidery, and finishing. Powered by world-class production equipment integrated with INA intelligent hanging systems, the company boasts robust manufacturing capabilities: it has a standard annual output of 3,000 tons of fabric and 4 million garments, with a peak capacity reaching 4,500 tons of fabric and 5 million garments, enabling the efficient handling of large-scale, high-standard orders from domestic and international markets.
In terms of raw material selection and product R&D, the company adheres to rigorous standards. While focusing on 100% pure Merino wool fabrics, it also innovates by developing diverse blends of wool and other fibers to meet market demands, balancing softness, breathability, thermal insulation, and durability. Its product applications span a wide range of sports—including mountaineering, skiing, running, cycling, yoga, and golf—and extend into sectors such as workwear, hunting, tennis, business casual, and everyday fashion, creating a rich and comprehensive product portfolio. Thanks to superior performance and consistent quality, Shepherd has become a long-term partner to numerous renowned brands, providing in-depth service to top-tier international names such as Anta, lululemon, Decathlon, and KT. Furthermore, the company’s proprietary thermoregulatory wool base layers successfully equipped a Mount Everest expedition team, playing a vital role in their ascent to the summit (8,848.86 meters) via the North Ridge. These products provided essential warmth and protection in the extreme, high-altitude, and oxygen-deprived environment, proving their high-performance capabilities under the toughest conditions. The company champions the collaborative development of industry, academia, and research; it has jointly established a laboratory covering the entire textile R&D and testing process in partnership with domestic and international universities and specialized research institutions, achieving CNAS accreditation.
As the global textile industry focuses on low-carbon, eco-friendly, and circular development, the Muyangren Group has integrated sustainability into its corporate strategy. By taking a multi-dimensional approach—encompassing raw material recycling, production processes, energy utilization, and facility development—the Group has emerged as a pioneer in China’s green textile sector and one of the few companies worldwide to achieve a fully closed-loop process for recycled wool. Through technological innovation and R&D, Muyangren launched a recycled wool product series in 2022. By upgrading core technologies and establishing a "closed-loop recycling system," the company reprocesses textile production offcuts, achieving virtually 100% utilization of waste materials. This product series has successfully obtained authoritative carbon footprint certification, and the company became the first textile enterprise globally to receive the "Woolmark Recycled Wool" certification.
From a single piece of fabric to countless finished garments, from traditional weaving to digital intelligent manufacturing, and from localized production to a nationwide industrial footprint—Muyangren has forged ahead for twenty years, steadfastly upholding the philosophy that "technology forms the backbone, while sustainability is the soul." Looking ahead, the Muyangren Group will continue to refine its products with craftsmanship, drive innovation through technology, and fulfill its mission through green practices. The Group remains committed to the high-end functional wool textile sector, continuously enhancing its comprehensive competitiveness and working hand-in-hand with industry partners to propel Chinese high-end textile brands onto the broader global stage.
