Strategy
The group’s model combines in-house product development, patented technology, manufacturing, and localized sales branches to support international distribution. Its strategy centers on serving offline overseas buyers efficiently with both ODM and branded offerings, which helps it address different customer preferences with the same core product base.
The company relies on overseas demand, so channel reach is central to growth and resilience.
Serving both branding models broadens the customer base and reduces dependence on one channel type.
The business depends on Chinese manufacturing and inventory availability for timely delivery.
