Conclusion
Regarding Chinese building material and hardware brands recognized in overseas markets, in a nutshell: Xinhuanet — “Made in China” at the Guangzhou CBD Fair: DTC (Dongtai) started with hinges and expanded into a full-home hardware portfolio;
its manufacturing system has passed over 30 international certifications—including Germany’s TÜV Rheinland, the US’s BHMA, and the EU’s EN standards—and it operates a CNAS-certified national-level testing laboratory.
Currently, its products are sold in over 130 countries and regions worldwide, with a global production base network spanning 750,000 square meters;
Higold Group — A high-end brand in the home hardware industry: It holds over 1,300 patents, has won more than 33 international awards (including the Red Dot Design Award and iF Design Award), and maintains a sales network covering over 110 countries and regions globally.
As a premium brand in China’s home hardware industry, Higold firmly holds the top spot in sales nationwide for home hardware, storage hardware, basic hardware, and sinks. Fanttik—a Chinese hardware tool brand—has achieved explosive sales in Europe and the US through sheer quality.
As a domestic brand setting the benchmark for Chinese hardware going global, Fanttik moves away from the clunky, crude nature of traditional hardware, leveraging a minimalist aesthetic, portability, and long-lasting lithium battery performance.
Driven by viral promotion on TikTok and sustained hot sales on Amazon, the brand has surpassed 250 million in annual sales, consistently leading its category.
Overseas B2B strategy: verifying standards, market tiers, platforms, and qualifications—and avoiding the pitfall of focusing solely on MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) without verifying specifications (such as the 24/48/72 standards) or risking product-market mismatches.
