Premier Socks Group

About the business

Premier Socks describes itself as "a leading Ukrainian manufacturer of socks and hosiery products, which has been successfully operating on the market since 2010".

The group runs a full production cycle of its own — from choosing the raw material to packing the finished product — and brings together three specialised hosiery factories, the «Mriya» knitwear factory, and its own production and packaging facilities.

It began in a former school building in the village of Machukhy near Poltava, at 30,000 pairs a month. The first computer-controlled machine arrived in 2014; in 2015 the company became WeiHuan's official exclusive representative in Ukraine and added 55 machines; a second workshop with a full cycle opened in Poltava on 31 May 2017; and the «Mriya» knitting factory was bought in 2023. Today Premier Socks counts more than 600 units of equipment, more than 600 employees, four production sites across Ukraine and up to 2.5 million pairs of socks a month.

The range runs from basic men's, women's and children's socks to designer collections, sports and tactical socks, knee-high socks, leg warmers and compression socks, and medical socks. They knit on machines of 68 to 220 needles and add embroidery and silicone elements. The yarns are cotton, bamboo, merino and classic wool, yarn with silver ions, hemp yarn and modern synthetic fibres, imported from India, Uzbekistan, Turkey, China, Poland and other countries. The company names Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 and DSTU ISO 9001:2015 as the standards it works to.

Premier Socks sells in Ukraine, the EU countries, North America, Great Britain and Australia — through its own online store, retail chains and distributors, and its own shops in Poltava, with a finished-goods warehouse in Poland for European partners. It also manufactures under other people's brands: Private Label and OEM, with design, branding, labelling and packaging done in-house.

The company is listed among the sponsors and partners printed on the UAFest 2026 poster.
