Company philosophy

“Our goal is to preserve the long-standing tradition of sock production in the Ore Mountains.”

Socks with an individual pattern, logo or lettering knitted into them? Only BREITEX in the Ore Mountains can do that! Here, all products are made to customer specifications. Whether sports or leisure clubs, companies or artists, organisers of events and festivals – anyone can have logos or their own design knitted onto or into the sock. BREITEX combines decades of craftsmanship with the latest circular knitting technology to create a unique sock manufacturer.
