The ingredient brand for plastic-free performance fabric.
OHZEHN-TEX™ is the Gore-Tex model applied to plant-derived textiles. Brands license the technology. We own the factories.
What we build
OHZEHN-TEX™ is a licensed-ingredient performance textile platform built and operated by Ohzehn Group LTD. The model is simple: apparel brands that want to move off petroleum-derived polyester license our plant-derived fabric spine instead of developing it themselves. They earn the right to put the OHZEHN-TEX™ mark on their product. We supply the certified fabric, handle manufacturing from our owned facilities, and test every production batch independently.
The ingredient-brand model, applied here, means the fabric itself carries the brand equity. A customer buying a legging from a licensee brand knows the inner fabric spec, knows the chemistry behind it, and trusts the claim because it is backed by a third-party lab report, not a marketing page.
The five claims
Every OHZEHN-TEX™ production batch is tested against five specifications at independent, US-accredited laboratories. These are not targets or aspirations. They are the minimum threshold for a batch to ship under the OHZEHN-TEX™ mark.
Performance numbers
The 76/24 activewear ratio delivers four-way stretch and 95% rebound recovery, matching conventional polyester-elastane benchmarks. The 60/40 ratio is tuned for bedding. The 70/30 ratio suits hospitality and contract textiles. The same plant-derived spine, blended differently per category, is the commercial model.
The company behind the mark
Ohzehn Group LTD is incorporated in Hong Kong. US operations run through Ohzehn LLC, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Four owned factories in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China handle end-to-end production: fiber input, weaving, dyeing, quality control, and garment assembly. Vertical control is the structural advantage. A licensee brand does not need to source, vet, or audit a factory. We are the factory.
The company was founded in 2025 with a specific thesis: that the ingredient-brand model used in materials science, Gore-Tex being the clearest analog, had never been applied to the plant-derived textile category at scale. That gap is the business.
The plastic-free thesis
Polyester is the world's most worn fiber. It is also petroleum-derived plastic that sheds between 700,000 and 1.9 million microfibers per wash cycle and does not biodegrade in any meaningful timeframe. PFAS chemistry, layered onto polyester for moisture wicking and stain repellence, adds a second contamination layer. State bans are moving. Regulatory pressure is accelerating. The market for plant-derived performance fabric is not a niche. It is the direction the industry is being pushed by law.
The OHZEHN-TEX™ thesis is that a brand choosing to move to plant-derived fabric should not have to do the materials science themselves. They should license a proven platform, put the mark on the hangtag, and get on with selling. That is the model. That is the gap we fill.
Team
