Inside the workshopA small workshop that makes beach paddle sets
We started in 2016 in Siyang, just outside Suqian. At the beginning we were doing wooden paddle blanks for other people and slowly we started making the full sets ourselves — paddle, ball, the little net bag, the printed sleeve.
Right now we're about 41 people in a 3,200 m² workshop. Not huge. We ship to around 11 countries, and lately the USA and Korea are the ones growing fastest, with Australia steady in summer. Most of what we do is OEM, so the paddle you order probably ends up with somebody else's brand printed on it, and that's fine by us.
We're younger than a lot of the factories in this region and we know it. So we try to be easy to deal with — small minimums when we can manage it, samples that actually match, and one person who answers you instead of a call center.
