A Suzhou workshop built around sculpting, not slogans

Zhi Ma Kai Hua started in 2013 as a four-person sculpting studio in Suzhou, making resin prototypes for local gift brands. Clients kept asking the same thing: could we also handle the mold, the paint and the boxes? By 2016 we had our first injection line, and our first 12-figure blind box series on shelves.

Twelve years later, our team of 260 sculptors, mold makers, painters and QC staff works from an 18,000 m² facility in Suzhou Industrial Park. We still approach each project the same way — sculpt it by hand first, then engineer it for production.

Today most of our work is for overseas brands: boutique retailers launching their first collectible line, IP holders expanding into blind boxes, and distributors who need a factory that answers emails in English and understands retail deadlines.
