Industrial expansion meets diverse climatic zones
Colombia is uniquely positioned in South America with direct coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. This geographic structure supports massive maritime ports in Barranquilla, Cartagena, and Buenaventura, establishing a robust commercial diving sector. Subsurface infrastructure inspection, hull cleaning, offshore oil and gas operations, and underwater welding require advanced thermal protection due to variable ocean depths, strong currents, and temperature changes.
Additionally, inland bodies of water—ranging from the fast-flowing whitewater rivers in San Gil to high-altitude Andean lagoons like Lake Tota—expose personnel to thermal hazards. For emergency responders, search and rescue squads, and hydroelectric plant maintenance crews operating at altitudes exceeding 3,000 meters, high-quality trilaminate or neoprene drysuits are essential safety equipment.
Continuous shipping traffic in Cartagena and Buenaventura drives the demand for heavy-duty drysuits that resist hydrocarbons and physical abrasions.
Colombian military, police, and civil protection units need highly visible, durable drysuits with integrated flotation support for complex swiftwater rescues.
With eco-tourism expanding in Santander and Boyacá, operators need reliable fleets of protective dry apparel to offer year-round, cold-water excursions.
Why procurement officers are shifting from standard catalog products to precision-designed custom platforms.
Global industrial enterprises are facing a challenging sourcing environment. Off-the-shelf drysuits often fail to fit regional demographics, resulting in discomfort, decreased productivity, and safety risks. Furthermore, standard drysuits frequently lack custom options for valve placement, localized reinforcement, and integrated communication pockets.
A key focus for procurement is the search for a flexible factory partner who can deliver tailor-made designs, high-end materials (such as German TiZip systems and durable cordura wraps), and comply with international regulations (CE EN 14225-2).
Our facility bridges this gap by providing professional design customization and consistent manufacturing capacity, helping companies manage material costs effectively without sacrificing quality.

Our journey from e-commerce to operating an advanced manufacturing facility
Xiamen Yuelei Sports Co., Ltd. operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Xiamen, China, covering 1600㎡ and staffed by approximately 30 skilled professionals. We specialize in OEM and ODM for outdoor apparel, utilizing advanced production equipment and rigorous quality control processes to ensure every product meets the highest standards. Our factory is equipped to provide comprehensive customization services, allowing us to tailor our offerings to the specific needs of our clients.
Xiamen Yuelei Outdoor Sports Co., Ltd., where LKVER is based, began selling ski jackets and wetsuits on AliExpress in 2021. Due to a surge in orders and our suppliers' inability to produce on time, the company decided to establish its own production workshop under the LKVER brand. As the workshop was built, Yuelei Outdoor Sports Co., Ltd. expanded its wholesale trade model and now operates two Alibaba International platforms and one AliExpress store. Every year, we handle production and customization for a large number of new and returning customers.
Today, our factory utilizes automated laser-cutting systems, advanced hot-air seam welding machines, and dedicated testing lines. By managing the supply chain directly, we provide B2B clients in Colombia and globally with consistent quality, competitive pricing, and flexible production schedules.

Key information regarding imports, customization capabilities, and technical support.
Yes. As a direct manufacturer, we offer full OEM/ODM services. We can add reinforced Cordura patches on high-wear areas like knees and elbows, adjust the placement of inflation and deflation valves (SiTech or Apeks systems), design custom tactical pockets for radios, and integrate specialized boots or latex seals based on your operational requirements.
We use a multi-stage testing process. Every drysuit undergoes hydrostatic pressure testing before leaving our workshop. We seal the neck, wrists, and feet, inflate the suit to a specified air pressure, and check for leaks using sensory and water immersion testing. This ensures each suit meets our waterproof standards before shipping.
Our direct ownership of the LKVER production workshop allows us to offer flexible MOQs compared to large-scale third-party factories. While MOQs depend on design complexity and fabric requirements, we support smaller initial orders to help clients confirm size and quality before moving to larger quantities.
Sample production and pattern development usually take 7 to 15 days. Bulk production takes 30 to 45 days after design approval, depending on the order size. Shipping from Xiamen Port to major Colombian ports like Buenaventura or Cartagena typically takes 25 to 35 days by ocean freight, or 5 to 8 days by air freight.
Our pattern-making team adjusts standard international size charts to fit local market demographics. We also offer made-to-measure sizing options for teams with specific physical requirements to ensure safety and comfort during long diving shifts.
