The Story of A Family Business: ZEST
Ms. Huang, a seasoned sales professional, and Mr. Chan, a master mold technician, found both love and partnership while working at a factory producing cutlery. Through years of accumulated work experience and a mutual desire to build a higher quality life together, they made a pivotal decision: to launch their own venture.
Combining her market expertise with his technical mastery, they founded a plastic cutlery factory in Dongguan in 2003 year. Establishing their Dongguan plastic cutlery factory required demanding commitment. Despite challenges, their relentless focus on quality and complementary skills—Ms. Huang’s customer-centric sales approach and Mr. Chan’s precision engineering—ensured products met exacting standards. This dedication earned consistent client praise, establishing a strong reputation for reliability and quality in China’s competitive market. They continue building their shared dream.
The story of ZEST deepened when the founders’ children, Nicholas and Bonnie, joined the family venture. Bringing fresh energy and global vision, they dedicated themselves to expanding international markets for ZEST tableware. Through their tireless dedication and keen understanding of diverse customer needs worldwide, Nicholas and Bonnie successfully propelled the business – rooted in their parents’ craftsmanship and values – onto the global stage.
