Meet Aries Lin, the Co-Founder
Hi, I’m Aries—12 + years guiding brands to create sports and functional socks that fit budgets, meet every compliance rule, and delight customers. Share your goals; I’ll help with a solution built around you.
About Me
Hi, I’m Aries Lin. Since joining Hangzhou Zhongzhi Industry Co., Ltd. in 2013, I’ve helped guide the firm from a five-person trading outfit to an integrated provider that combines R&D, manufacturing and export of compression-sock solutions.
Over the past decade, I’ve personally supported more than 200 brands through every stage of the journey—from sample development right through to customs clearance and on-shelf launch—while showcasing our products at major trade events in the United States, South Korea, Japan, Germany and beyond.
Today, via iCompressionSocks.com, we continue to provide one-stop athletic & functional sock services to customers worldwide and share fresh insights into our industry along the way.
