Gazelle Hat Factory · China + Cambodia · Since 1979
China or Cambodia?
One factory group, two origins.
Gazelle Hat Factory runs wholly owned plants in Dongguan (Guangdong) and Suzhou (Anhui), China, plus a Southeast Asia line in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Same quality system, same merchandising contact — you choose the origin that fits your duties, timeline and programme.
Both origins are audited and produce under one specification. The right choice is usually a duty and delivery decision, not a quality one.

How buyers decide
Follow the duty
Run the landed-cost calculation with your broker for both origins before committing. We provide origin and compliance documents for either route.
Follow the complexity
Complex construction, multi-material builds and licensed decoration stay in China, where the full craft set is in-house.
Split the programme
A single approved specification can run across both origins. Many brands split repeat volume to diversify supply.
Origin questions
Can we split one programme across both origins?
Yes — once the specification and sample are approved, production can be allocated between China and Cambodia to match duty and delivery needs.
Is quality different between origins?
No. Both origins work under the same quality system, specification and AQL inspection standard, with the same merchandising contact.
Do you provide origin documentation?
Yes — origin and compliance documentation is provided with each shipment; confirm the exact requirement with your customs broker.
