The factory behind
the brands.
Since 2001, Meridian has built footwear in Jinjiang, Fujian — the town that makes one in five pairs of sports shoes on earth. Buyers come to us with a sketch, a sample or a best-seller to beat; we put it on a last, on a line, and on the water.
Cemented. Injection. Vulcanised.
Every construction Jinjiang is famous for, under one roof. The right process is the first sourcing decision — it sets the look, the feel, the price and the MOQ.
Cemented 冷粘
Upper and sole bonded with precision adhesives — the workhorse of modern footwear. Most sneakers, casual shoes, sport sandals and boots are built this way. Maximum freedom in materials and sole units.
Sneakers · Casual · Sandals · BootsInjection 注塑
EVA or PVC injected into a mold, fusing sole — or the whole shoe — in one seamless piece. Slides, clogs, garden shoes and rain footwear: light, waterproof, and highly efficient at volume.
Slides · Clogs · EVA · WaterproofVulcanised 硫化
Canvas upper wrapped with rubber foxing tape, then cured whole in a vulcanising oven. The classic skate and canvas-shoe construction — flexible, durable, unmistakably retro.

Built where the world’s shoes are built.
Jinjiang is not near the footwear supply chain — it is the supply chain. Lasts, molds, outsoles, textiles, laces, cartons: everything an order needs is made within an hour of our door, which is how corrections that cost other factories weeks cost us days.
Meridian has grown here since 2001 — through the sneaker boom, the EVA revolution and the e-commerce turn — quietly building for brands you know, and for ambitious labels which are about to be.
