About Company
Company Overview
CHIKATEX is a major European wholesaler specializing in secondhand clothing, headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The company focuses on supplying high-quality used clothing primarily through large volume shipments and exports, especially catering to the UK market.
What the company supplies
CHIKATEX supplies sorted and graded secondhand clothing mainly in bulk quantities such as bales, truckloads, or containers. Their product range includes top-quality "Cream" grade clothing, Grade A sorted items, and also original unsorted garments. This mix allows buyers to select goods based on their quality requirements.
Who it serves
The company's main customers include large-scale wholesalers, jobbers, and exporters who operate within the UK and other European markets. Smaller buyers looking for individual items typically source from distributors or jobbers within the UK due to customs and shipping considerations.
Products and Categories
CHIKATEX deals with secondhand clothing across various categories, although exact details on the number of categories are not publicly disclosed. Their assortments typically cover multiple product types consistent with general used apparel wholesaling.
Typical category mix
While specific categories are not listed, typical wholesale secondhand clothing assortments include men’s, women’s, and children’s apparel, often sorted by quality grades such as Cream and Grade A.

Quality control and grading approach
CHIKATEX is known for its selective grading system distinguishing items such as Cream grade (near-new quality) and Grade A (high resale value). They also offer Original bales which are unsorted. These grades help buyers clearly assess product quality and suitability for different markets.
Wholesale and Export Focus
The company operates with a clear emphasis on wholesale supply and export, particularly servicing large buyers who can purchase truckloads or container quantities. They do not offer distribution facilities inside the UK but are a key exporter to the UK market from Belgium.
Packing, volumes, and dispatch
CHIKATEX typically ships clothing in factory-sealed bales or bulk loads with original branding. Order volumes are oriented towards high-capacity buyers rather than retail or small orders. Buyers should be prepared for customs and import requirements due to Brexit when importing into the UK.
Contact and Cooperation
Prospective buyers can contact CHIKATEX through their website or by phone to discuss large-scale orders. Email information is not publicly listed, so initial inquiries through their website or phone lines are recommended.
How to request availability
Interested wholesalers should approach CHIKATEX directly for quotes on available stock and grading options. Given the company's focus on bulk exports, potential clients are advised to prepare for minimum order requirements and discuss logistics and compliance matters in advance.
