About Us

In 2003 a family of over-seas business professionals eagerly embarked on the establishment of a new garment factory in their native Country Ethiopian.  Recent governmental efforts to improve Ethiopia's economy coupled with business incentives provided under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) were key factors in the realization of Novastar Garment Factory.  Its spacious new factory building was completed in 2005.

Novastar's founders received their business education and technical training in the United States.  Collectively they hold over thirty years of experience in the western market.  They have combined their extensive over-seas business training and knowledge of Ethiopian language, dialects and culture to establish a solid and innovative infrastructure.  The merger of Western and African business culture contributes to high-quality yet lower-cost manufacturing attractive to over-seas wholesalers.  Novastar's management system allows for streamlined delegation of functions and decision-making authority enabling swift decisions and efficiency at all levels.
Our team of manager's who oversea the company's logistics and production are ex-patriots who have brought with them more than 50 years of combined experience.

Novastar value's its 260 plus employees.  Ergonomic comfort and spacious work areas were a priority in its factory design.  All employees receive fair wages and a clean, safe and pleasant working environment is keenly promoted.  This is accomplished through continuous employee training and education.  The result is higher employee retention and productivity.  Our staff is comprised of expert workers with a cohesive group of valuable skills, all who work hard to come up with new designs to match today's trends and fashions.

Having established a solid technical base, Novastar is successfully manufacturing a wide array of men's, women's and children's apparel, using knitted fabrics.  These include pole shirts, t-shirts, athletic tank tops, mesh pants, shorts, and shirts, as well as other clothing styles. (See our Garment Product Line for a more detailed list) We use the latest in embroidery equipment, tools, and digitalized software.  Our staff of artists works closely with our clients to produce eye-catching designs and logos, which can be screen-printed on our entire product line, as part of a custom order.
