Whole-house custom manufacturers in China: 7 companies to compare
Reviewed by Bo, Project Manager at NOVARTE · Updated
Compare seven Chinese whole-house custom companies by city, product focus and project fit, with ten questions before ordering. Published by NOVARTE.
The practical answer
China’s best-known whole-house custom brands include OPPEIN, Sogal, Holike and Shangpin Home Collection in Guangzhou, ZBOM in Hefei and Goldenhome in Xiamen. Overseas homeowners, designers and hotel teams ordering a single project also compare export-focused factories in Foshan, such as NOVARTE, that coordinate cabinetry and furniture in one order. Compare the actual channel, scope, samples and installation responsibilities, not company size alone.

Explore our whole-house package ↗How we chose the companies
The shortlist covers businesses publishing whole-home cabinetry or furniture ranges and manufacturing activity in China, with information available on their own websites. International channels are noted only where evidenced; do not assume every brand offers the same direct-export service.
The “consider for” descriptions below are our editorial starting points based on the published range. They are not endorsements by the companies or independently measured performance claims.
Other Foshan export factories
Other factories are another sourcing route, rather than an eighth named company in this list. Ask for a live factory walkthrough and use the same questions below before paying a deposit. A large brand may also supply individual homes, and a smaller factory may have minimum quantities or use partner makers.
Big brand or export factory? Ask about the actual channel.
| Decision | With a large brand | With an export-focused factory |
|---|---|---|
| Who will handle my order? | Confirm whether the counterparty is the brand, a local dealer or a project distributor. | Confirm the legal supplier and the project team responsible for drawings and production. |
| Does one project fit? | Ask about individual-home, retail and project options; size varies by channel. | Ask about minimum quantities and whether freight makes the package worthwhile. |
| What is in the scope? | Compare the actual quoted range and any third-party items. | Identify what is made internally and what comes from partner suppliers. |
| Drawings and installation | Agree the approval process, site measurements and installer responsibilities. | Agree the same responsibilities; direct contact is not a substitute for approved drawings. |
| Shipping and aftercare | Confirm export documents, delivery terms and the damage / missing-parts process. | Confirm packing, labels, container planning and the same aftercare process. |
