Towels OEM Manufacturers in Japan

About the production regions

Imabari (Ehime) is Japan's largest towel-producing region with over 120 years of history. Imabari towels must pass a famous absorbency standard — sinking within five seconds of touching water — and are synonymous with premium quality worldwide. The Senshu region (Osaka) is the birthplace of Japanese towel-making, known for its soft after-bleached weave. Many factories accept small-batch OEM for original brand towels, with jacquard weaving and shearing techniques available.
