Capabilities

Cutting, bending, welding, e-coating, powder coating, weaving, upholstery, inspection and export packing — all under one roof in Huzhou, Zhejiang. Vertical integration is what lets us hold tolerance and lead time on volume programmes.

02 — Production flow

Six stages, no subcontracting.

Every stage below runs inside our own 40,000 m² facility. Nothing is sent out, which is why we can hold tolerance, protect your design and commit to a delivery date.

  • 01

    Tube cutting & bending

    CNC tube and flat-bar cutting, mandrel bending and jig-based forming to drawing tolerance.

  • 02

    Welding & jig assembly

    Robotic and manual TIG welding on fixed jigs, so every frame in a run is identical.

  • 03

    E-coating & powder coating

    In-house pre-treatment, e-coat line for steel, powder topcoat for aluminium and steel, RAL / Pantone matching.

  • 04

    Hand weaving

    PE wicker and rope woven over welded frames, with matched tension and colour across a production run.

  • 05

    Upholstery & cushions

    In-house cutting and sewing, 20D–24D foam cores, spun-poly, olefin and quick-dry constructions.

  • 06

    Inspection, packing & loading

    100% pre-shipment inspection, carton drop testing, optimised container loading and full export documentation.

03 — Inside the factory

Fifty-six seconds on the floor.

Hand weaving, cushion sewing and the e-coat line, filmed in our own workshops. No stock footage, no renderings — this is the plant your order would run in.

04 — OEM & ODM

From your drawing to a loaded container.

We develop samples from technical drawings, reference samples, renderings or sketches, and run private-label programmes with your branding, packaging and compliance requirements from the first prototype.

STEP 01

Brief & feasibility

You send a drawing, reference sample, rendering or market brief with target price and volume. We review construction, material and cost feasibility.

STEP 02

Prototype

Our sample workshop builds the first piece — typically 10–15 days. Photos and measurements are shared for your review; revisions included.

STEP 03

Approval & specification lock

Sample signed off, specification sheet, colour references, packing method and warranty terms locked into the order.

STEP 04

Production & in-line QC

Scheduled across four lines with in-line inspection at each station and progress reports.

STEP 05

Pre-shipment inspection

100% pre-shipment inspection, carton drop test, and third-party inspection welcomed.

STEP 06

Loading & documentation

Optimised container loading plan, photos of loaded containers, and complete export documentation.

05 — Quality control

Six checkpoints before anything ships.

Quality is built into the line, not inspected in at the end. Every order passes the same six gates, and every carton is traceable back to the station and date that produced it.

Incoming material

Aluminium and steel stock, wicker reels, foam, fabric and hardware are checked against specification before release to production.

In-line

Welds, dimensions, weave tension, coating thickness and seat geometry are checked at each station against the approved sample.

Finishing

Powder-coat adhesion and colour, e-coat coverage, hand-brush consistency and cushion sewing are inspected in batches.

Pre-shipment

100% inspection of finished goods: stability, load, hardware, hardware bag contents, carton integrity and carton drop test.

Testing

UV exposure, salt-spray corrosion, static and dynamic load, and drop testing. Third-party lab testing (SGS / BV / Intertek) arranged on request.

Traceability

Every carton carries a batch code linking it to its inspection record, so any issue can be traced back to station and date.

Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, Intertek) and buyer factory audits are welcomed. We can also support product testing to your market's requirements — EN 581, BIFMA, AS/NZS and retailer-specific protocols — through accredited labs.
06 — Specifications & compliance

The details buyers ask about.

Finishes, materials and packing are specified per market. These are the standards our programmes are built to — tell us your market and we will confirm the exact configuration.

  • 01

    Frame finish

    Powder coating over pre-treated metal — e-coat for steel, chromate-free pre-treatment for aluminium. Hand-brushed finishing available on cast aluminium for a brushed-metal appearance.

  • 02

07 — FAQ

Questions we get every week.

We are a manufacturer serving retailers, importers and project contractors rather than end consumers, so we do not sell single units. MOQ is quotation-dependent — typically one 40HQ container per collection, and we accept mixed containers combining several models. Send us your target range and volume and we will confirm the MOQ in the quotation.
We offer a 2–3 year warranty depending on the product family and finish. UV-resistant fabrics carry a 2–3 year durability guarantee. Warranty terms are confirmed per order in the sales contract.
Yes. Our catalogue includes a professional colour range for cushions, and we can develop custom colours against your pantone or reference swatch. Fabric options include spun polyester, olefin and quick-dry foam constructions.
Both, and this is the core of what we do. For OEM we build to your technical drawings or reference samples and apply your branding and packaging. For ODM our design team develops new models from your sketches, renderings or market brief — including exclusive shapes and finishes that stay off our open catalogue.
Yes. We have extensive experience with mail-order and e-commerce packing, including drop-test cartons, reduced carton sizes and assembly-ready packaging. Because of the additional packing material and higher-grade cartons, the unit price is adjusted accordingly.
Every order goes through incoming material inspection, in-line inspection at each production station, and 100% pre-shipment inspection. We can also welcome third-party inspection (SGS, BV, Intertek) arranged by the buyer, and we support factory audits.
Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. We work with wholesalers, retail chains, importers, e-commerce sellers and hospitality project contractors.
