The Knitting Begins

Dilipbhai opens his first knitwear factory in Leicester, England and starts to supply local department stores

Launch of JM Knitwear PVT LTD

J M Knitwear was established in 2008 in India by Mr. Dilip Patel & Mrs. Illa Patel on the back of 32 years of experience operating their successful knitwear design & manufacturing company in the U.K.

The first factory was located in Vapi, Gujarat
