The turning point came in 1985, when we decided to expand our product range to cover kitchen utensils. The next step was to set up a factory on the Chinese mainland, which Camford did in 1987, in Shenzhen. Keeping up with market developments is vital to a successful mix. We work mainly with stainless steel coils and sheets imported from Japan, South Korea, Germany and France. Designing products from a consumer's point of view is another important ingredient.
All new items undergo laboratory tests before they are launched, to ensure they perform to standard.
Two other joint-venture factories in Guangdong Province, responsible for producing cookware and cutlery, have separate design teams. Producing a total capacity of 600,000 pieces per month, these factories operate under strict quality control standards, beginning with moulding and forming, through to polishing, assembly and packaging. Since 1990, the company has been offering its own product line under the Camford brand name. Having established a reputation for quality and style, today Camford provides OEM and ODM services to customers in Europe, North America, Australia and Southeast Asia. The product range runs to 2,000 items, an inventory that keeps on growing.
