ABOUT KAATTEX
Twenty-seven years of one thing.
Embroidery, made in Faisalabad.
Kaattex was founded in Faisalabad in 1999 with two machines, a workshop floor, and a handful of artisans. The bet was simple: that embroidery, even at industrial volume, is a craft. That the difference between adequate work and excellent work is the same on the thousandth shirt as it is on the first.
Twenty-seven years on, the workshop has grown into a production house operating twenty Barudan machines imported directly from Japan — but the floor still treats each program as if it were the only one. Most of our clients have worked with us for over a decade. Some have worked with us for our entire history.
We work primarily with Pakistan's established apparel and textile manufacturers, and through them, our embroidery travels to the UK, the European Union, and the United States. Our reputation is built less on what we say about the work and more on the work itself, returning to our floor program after program, season after season.
What we make.
- Custom logo & monogram embroidery
- We translate brand marks into embroidery that holds its proportion, spacing, and edge quality across production. The work can be quiet or highly visible, but the standard is the same: clean reproduction, consistent registration, and a finish that feels native to the garment.
- Decorative pattern embroidery
- Pattern work asks for rhythm as much as accuracy. We handle tonal, multi-color, and repeat embroidery for fashion and home textile programs, keeping the pattern coherent across the whole run while respecting the drape and hand-feel of the base fabric.
- Sequin embroidery
- Sequin programs combine reflection with restraint. We produce thread-and-sequin compositions that remain legible at scale, balancing shine, stitch density, and placement so the result feels intentional rather than noisy.
- Appliqué embroidery
- Appliqué brings another material into the stitch field. We cut, place, and finish layered fabrics with embroidered borders, allowing shape, texture, and contrast to become part of the design without losing production discipline.
- Puff (3D) embroidery
- Puff embroidery gives selected marks physical lift. We use foam-backed stitching for caps, knits, and statement pieces where raised depth adds value, while maintaining clean edges and stable form across the run.
THE MACHINES
Japanese precision, held to one house standard.
Twenty Barudan multi-head embroidery machines — sourced directly from Japan, maintained by an in-house technical team — let us hold consistent quality across runs that span tens of thousands of units. Capacity matters to our clients in two ways: it lets us absorb urgent timelines without compromising quality, and it lets us produce a single brand standard across the full run, head to head.
