Hengtun Announces Three-Brand Matrix: Humtun, Chipin & KEEPUTE Cover Full-Scene Workwear
When Mr. Cui Hongjun founded Hengtun in Suzhou in 2008, he kept asking one overlooked question: what does a piece of workwear really mean to a company? Seventeen years later, that question has become a complete answer. Hengtun officially unveils its three-brand matrix—Humtun, Chipin and KEEPUTE—targeting premium customization, tasteful design and distinctive innovation respectively, providing enterprises with full-scene professional wear solutions across industries, sizes and corporate cultures.

Why a Three-Brand Matrix?
Procuring workwear is never as simple as buying a batch of clothes in the same color. Electronics plants need anti-static garments to protect precision components; property groups need business workwear that looks sharp and lasts long; schools need uniforms that meet safety standards and students actually want to wear; high-end business settings need well-fitted suits to convey trust.
A single product line can hardly satisfy such different demands at once. Hengtun therefore splits its capabilities across three brands: Humtun focuses on premium customization and protective workwear; Chipin focuses on tasteful design and business image; KEEPUTE focuses on distinctive innovation and school wear. The three brands share the same quality-control system and back-end service, yet each speaks its own product language.
Humtun: Premium Customization and Protective Workwear
Humtun is the company’s foundation and the segment with the deepest technical moat. Its product portfolio covers business suits, high-end workwear, uniforms and protective apparel.
In the protective segment, Hengtun runs an in-house standard laboratory equipped with tensile testers, vertical flammability chambers, point-to-point resistance meters and acid/alkali penetration testers. Anti-static garments, flame-retardant garments and chemical-resistant garments are certified by national authorities and meet national performance standards. For clients in chemicals, power and electronics semiconductor industries, this is not only a compliance requirement but also the last line of defense for production safety.
The Humtun brand also carries the company’s credentials: ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management, AAA credit enterprise rating, and more than ten utility-model patents and software copyrights for garment processing. Together these form the underlying credit of the “Hengtun Premium” promise.
Chipin: Dignity Meets Durability
If Humtun is “hard-core,” Chipin is “presentable.” Chipin serves property management, hospitality, medical services and business offices, solving the long-standing conflict between durable workwear and good-looking workwear.
The product range includes hotel uniforms, medical uniforms and year-round business workwear for property groups. Designers first incorporate the client’s VI color system, job movements and wearing duration into the plan, then select fabrics and patterns. After one large property group switched to Chipin, its annual customer-satisfaction survey score for “staff professional image” rose by more than 20 percentage points.
Chipin’s development principle is “simple, fashionable, generous, high-quality and tasteful.” It frees frontline staff from drab, baggy clothes by using modern colors and cuts, turning workwear into a walking advantage for the enterprise.
KEEPUTE: Distinctive Innovation and School Wear
KEEPUTE is Hengtun’s banner brand for younger, more distinctive scenarios, focusing on school uniforms, cultural T-shirts, volunteer vests and outdoor jackets.
On campus, KEEPUTE leverages its “Top Ten Chinese School Uniform Brands” design and quality-control experience to provide integrated formal and athletic uniform programs for kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and colleges. Fabrics are skin-friendly, breathable, wear-resistant and easy to wash; safety indicators meet national student-garment standards; patterns accommodate adolescent body shapes and campus culture. After one provincial key middle school adopted KEEPUTE uniforms, parent-group approval exceeded 95%, and neighboring schools came to visit and subsequently signed contracts.
KEEPUTE comes from “Keep UTE”—Keep Unique Taste & Energy. This positioning also drives its willingness to use younger design language on cultural shirts, event vests and other products, helping companies stand out at exhibitions, team-building events and public-benefit activities.
Shared Underlying Capabilities
Although the three brands differ in front-end positioning, they share the same delivery system behind the scenes:
- 18 years of industry experience and 5,000+ enterprise-client cases;
- An in-house standard laboratory with batch-by-batch testing for protective apparel;
- ISO triple-system certification and AAA credit-enterprise rating;
- Dedicated on-site measuring specialists with make-up order cycles shortened to 3–5 working days;
- Dedicated fabric inventory supporting single-piece rapid production.
This means that whether a client chooses Humtun, Chipin or KEEPUTE, they receive the output of Hengtun’s overall quality control and responsiveness, not a siloed small team. More real cooperation details are available on the case studies page.
How to Choose the Right Brand
Buyers can start from the scenario and needs:
- For high-risk operations in chemicals, power or electronics semiconductor, or when ISO-certified protective apparel is required, prioritize the Humtun brand;
- For property, hospitality and business offices where staff image and first impressions matter, prioritize the Chipin brand;
- For schools, associations, exhibitions and other younger scenarios, or for school uniforms, cultural shirts and volunteer vests, prioritize the KEEPUTE brand.
For large group clients spanning multiple scenarios, Hengtun also supports multi-brand combination plans managed by a single project team, avoiding inconsistent standards caused by fragmented procurement.
