R & D is much more than a department at DZ GROUP, it’s embedded in our workflow and directly infused in how and what we create for our customers. We are always at the forefront of new techniques and finishes such as antimicrobial and wicking properties, anti-pill yarns, dyeing processes, and high end yarns that are machine washable and heat dryable.

We are experts at re-imagining new stitches, cables and ways to knit with sustainable new yarn blends that differ from anything on the market today. We are consistently up to date with the newest machinery and technology available on the market. And with our 3-D technology we are able to get the aesthetic right the first time, which saves time and money.

Our studios in NYC, Shanghai and Beijing are designed for collaboration, inspiration, and innovation. We work with you, hand in hand, to achieve the creative vision you wish for your next collection — always tailored to your specific needs.

Our 5 collections of heritage and novelty yarns, innovative stitches, cut & sew fabrics and our own Studio DZ samples provide the insight and newness you need to bring smart, beautiful products to market…. Come get inspired with us!

This is where technical design and engineering combine to produce samples of your next best sellers. Fully owned and operated by DZ GROUP, our Sample Workshop is the fastest possible way to test new ideas, combine stitches and shapes, and experiment in real time.

It enables us to work with customers and designers that visit the Shanghai workshop to quickly create knitdowns and samples during their visit.

Featuring a quality range of Stoll automatic knitting machines from 3gg to 16gg, our skilled technicians and programmers can materialize any idea our designers dream up.
