Factory — Changde, Hunan
High-volume casual, sport, and children's footwear production from Hunan Province — founded 2013, serving buyers across five continents.
Overview
Changde Global Expand Shoes was founded in 2013 in Wuling District, Changde — a manufacturing hub in Hunan Province that has grown significantly as China's footwear industry expanded inland. The facility was purpose-built for high-volume casual, sport, and children's footwear, where EVA, textile, and synthetic upper materials dominate.
The Changde plant operates across a single large building of approximately 12,000 m², housing injection moulding equipment, automated stitching lines, and a dedicated children's production wing with enhanced quality standards for safety compliance.
Lower land and labour costs at this inland location allow us to offer highly competitive pricing on larger orders, while the factory's proximity to Guangzhou's logistics network ensures efficient access to southern ports for export.

How we work
Share your category, quantity, and any reference styles. We return a quotation with material options and pricing tiers within 3 business days.
Pre-production sample in 12–18 working days. For EVA injection styles, we produce a salesman sample first — faster and lower cost than a full PPS.
Automated stitching lines allow faster production ramp-up for large orders. QC inspections at each production stage; final random audit before packing.
Goods shipped via Guangzhou or Shanghai port. We coordinate with freight forwarders and provide full export documentation including CO, packing list, and commercial invoice.
