What Consinee Group does

Consinee Group Co., Ltd. is a privately held Chinese textile manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang. The company produces and exports high-end yarns, including woolen, worsted, semi-worsted, and fancy yarn, with a particular focus on cashmere and mohair. It operates China's largest cashmere yarn export franchise, accounting for an estimated 15-20% of world cashmere output, with annual production of 10,000 tons of yarn and fabric and 3,000+ tons of 100% cashmere fibre. Consinee holds the 'Champion Demonstration Enterprise in Made in China 2025' designation and a consecutive Manufacturing Single Champion Enterprise award from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for 2021-2023 and 2024-2026.

Consinee's technology stack rests on imported automatic and intelligent production lines from Italy, Germany, and Japan, and a vertical structure that spans dehaired raw material reserves, spinning, loose-fibre dyeing (more than 80 dye vats), and finishing. The company's Engineering R&D Center employs 42 full-time personnel, has produced 13 patents (4 invention, 9 utility model), and invests approximately 40 million yuan in R&D over a three-year period. In June 2021, Consinee and Siemens Group commissioned the industry's first intelligent and digital black-light unmanned dyeing factory, marking its Industry 4.0 era. Five product divisions - woolen, worsted and semi-worsted, fancy yarn, polymer materials, and new fibre technology - are operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The company sells to world-class fashion brands, international luxury brands, and global high-end yarn buyers via direct B2B field sales. Distribution runs through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Germany, and the United States, a Turkey agent, and domestic branches in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Pricing is quote-based with no public list; the firm supplements direct sales with international exhibitions (Shanghai International Yarn Exhibition, New York 'USA Night'), industry association activity, and an e-commerce subsidiary established in 2014. Consinee is led by founder-Chairman and CEO Xue Jingli, and ownership remains concentrated with founding management; no private equity, venture, or institutional investor involvement is disclosed.
