Company History and Prospects

Heilan Group started out in textile manufacturing, built up its fortune in fine spinning, and eventually turned to garment production. Along with promotion of innovative mode-brand chain operations, it moved towards an international and multi-brand approach. Over the years of development, the Group put clothing at the center of its business operations, focusing on this field and building expertise, culminating in the successful establishment of a number of independent clothing brands including HLA, Sancanal, and EICHITOO. HLA is designed as a value menswear brand which is cost-effective, official and fashionable; Sancanal is a brand for tailored business suits; EICHITOO is a city womenswear brand combining fashion and leisure.

Along with the upward trend of domestic consumption and successful integration of industrial chain resources, the Group shifted to a more global focus, developing a multi-brand and multi-discipline approach. Besides actively expanding the existing clothing brands, the Group seeks to broaden its influence into financial investment, cultural creativity, lifestyle and tourism. It aims to become a more internationally competitive enterprise group with a broader global vision.
