Hitop Wetsuits is a TUV-verified OEM/ODM wetsuit manufacturer based in Dongguan, China. Since 2010 we have partnered with brands, retailers and clubs across the US and Europe -- delivering consistent quality, on-time shipments and full customisation at factory prices.
Our Story
From a Small Workshop to a Trusted Global Supplier
Hitop Wetsuits was established in 2010 in Dongguan -- China's manufacturing heartland -- with a single mission: produce professional-grade neoprene wetsuits that meet the real demands of water sports athletes and the brands that serve them.
Over 14 years we have grown from a small workshop into a full-scale OEM & ODM factory with more than 70 skilled workers, dedicated production lines for surfing, diving, freediving, triathlon and spearfishing wetsuits, and a rigorous quality management system that has earned TUV verification and ISO compliance.
Today our products are trusted by offline retail chains, independent DTC brands, marketplace sellers and professional clubs across the United States and Europe. Every order -- large or small -- receives the same commitment to craftsmanship, compliance and on-time delivery.
