China ships more kitchen faucets than any other country, but the gap between a strong factory and a weak one is wider than most first-time buyers expect. Cartridge life, pull-down hose cycles, plating thickness and lead-free compliance all vary by production cluster, and a low unit price often hides a rework bill. This guide profiles 15 kitchen faucet manufacturers in China that regularly handle bulk B2B orders, grouped by what each one genuinely does best, so you can build a shortlist that fits your market, your volume and your certification scope.
FAAO is a Wenzhou-based faucet manufacturer, so treat this as an industry view from inside the supply chain rather than a neutral ranking. Every company below is a real, verifiable producer with a public corporate presence, and the profiles use publicly stated information such as founding year, headquarters and certification scope. Numbers move year to year, so confirm current capacity and certificate validity directly with each supplier before you commit.
The list is grouped rather than scored from one to fifteen, because a single ranking is misleading for sourcing. A factory that is perfect for a 200,000-unit retail program is often the wrong choice for a 500-unit boutique hotel order. The three groups below reflect how experienced buyers actually segment the market.
Use this table as a first-pass filter, then read the profile of any supplier that matches your buyer type.
| # | Fabricant | Base | Fondé | Best fit for bulk buyers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | JOMOO Kitchen & Bath | Nan’an, Fujian | 1990 | Brand-backed retail and large project supply |
| 2 | HUIDA Sanitary Ware | Tangshan, Hebei | 1982 | Full bathroom plus kitchen packages at scale |
| 3 | ARROW Home Group | Foshan, Guangdong | 1994 | Developer and hotel projects needing one supplier |
| 4 | HEGII | Foshan, Guangdong | 1998 | Design-forward mid to premium ranges |
| 5 | SSWW | Foshan, Guangdong | 1994 | Hotel and engineering project distribution |
| 6 | JOYOU | Nan’an, Fujian | 1979 | Long-run standard SKUs with stable supply |
| 7 | YING Sanitary Ware | Foshan, Guangdong | 1994 | Mid to high-end plating and finish consistency |
| 8 | FAAO | Wenzhou, Zhejiang | 2001 | Private-label kitchen faucet programs, flexible MOQ |
| 9 | LOTA Group | Xiamen, Fujian | 1990 | Large export programs for chain retailers |
| 10 | VIGA Faucet | Kaiping, Guangdong | — | Design-led finishes for EU and US markets |
| 11 | Weiqiang Group | Kaiping, Guangdong | 1991 | Buyers who want brass traceability from billet up |
| 12 | Kaiping Yufa Sanitary Ware | Kaiping, Guangdong | 2007 | Faucet plus sink packages for North America |
| 13 | Kaiping Kaipu (KPO) | Kaiping, Guangdong | — | Mid-range volume with third-party factory audit |
| 14 | YOROOW Sanitary Ware | Nan’an, Fujian | — | Cost-driven mass production of standard models |
| 15 | Yuhuan Difeng | Yuhuan, Zhejiang | 2002 | Smaller trial orders and mid-range brass bodies |
These companies build faucets as part of a much larger bathroom and home portfolio. You get brand recognition and audited factories, but customization is usually slower and minimum quantities are higher because their lines are tuned for their own catalog.
Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Nan’an, Quanzhou, JOMOO is the most widely recognized sanitary ware group in China. Its kitchen range covers pull-down mixers, filtered-water taps and sensor models, backed by in-house R&D centers and heavily automated plants. Certification coverage typically spans ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CE, WRAS, WaterMark and cUPC, which makes it straightforward to move one SKU across several markets. For bulk buyers, JOMOO suits programs where the end customer values a known Chinese brand name and where order sizes justify a dedicated production slot.
HUIDA was established in 1982 in Tangshan, Hebei, and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2017. It operates production bases in Tangshan, Chongqing and Foshan with more than 8,000 employees, and exports to over 70 countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. The company holds several hundred valid patents and has contributed to national and industry standards. If your program bundles kitchen faucets with ceramics, bathroom furniture or smart toilets, HUIDA can consolidate that into fewer purchase orders and fewer shipments.
Formerly Lehua Household, ARROW was founded in 1994 in Foshan and now runs more than ten manufacturing bases under the ARROW, FAENZA and ANNWA brands. Products reach over 60 countries, and the group supplies major Chinese property developers. For kitchen faucet buyers, the appeal is breadth: you can specify a faucet, sink cabinet, tile and sanitary ceramic set from one commercial contact. The tradeoff is that faucets are one line among many, so highly custom spout geometry or unusual finishes may not get priority tooling.
HEGII, founded in 1998 in Foshan, has built its reputation on design language and smart bathroom products. Its kitchen mixers lean toward contemporary shapes, matte finishes and integrated water-treatment options. HEGII is a sensible shortlist entry when your buyer persona is a design-conscious urban household or a premium apartment developer, and when you would rather adapt an existing premium platform than tool a new one from scratch.
SSWW, also founded in 1994 in Foshan, supplies hotel groups, engineering projects and international distributors. Public certification coverage includes ISO 9001, CE and WaterMark, which lines up well with Australian and European project specifications. SSWW tends to fit distributors who need a mid-to-upper product tier with reliable documentation for tender submissions rather than the lowest possible unit price.
JOYOU traces its history to 1979 and operates from Nan’an, Fujian, making it one of the oldest continuously operating faucet producers in the country. It maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and occupational health and safety systems, and its long production history shows up in stable tooling for classic kitchen mixer shapes. Buyers who repeat the same three or four SKUs every season, rather than refreshing a catalog annually, usually get the most value here.
YING was founded in 1994 in Foshan and is known for electroplating capability and consistency in the mid-to-high-end segment. Certification coverage commonly includes ISO 9001, CE and WaterSense. Plating is where many kitchen faucet programs quietly fail, because a thin nickel layer will pass a 24-hour salt spray test and still blister after eighteen months over a busy sink. A factory with strong in-house plating control is worth a slightly higher unit price if your warranty exposure is significant.
Comparing three factories and still not sure which fits?
Send FAAO your target market, finish, annual volume and required certificates. Our engineering team replies with a matched spec sheet, certification scope and MOQ so you can benchmark quotes on equal terms.
This group is where most private-label kitchen faucet programs end up. These factories are large enough to hold certification files and run their own tooling, but small enough to accept a first order that does not fill a full container.
FAAO Sanitary Ware was founded in 2001 at Haicheng Town, Longwan District, Wenzhou, and runs a complete in-house process covering foundry, machining, polishing, plating and assembly across roughly 20,000 square meters. Annual faucet output is around 500,000 units, products reach more than 80 countries, and the company holds ISO 9001 and SGS system certification alongside CE, ACS and WaterMark product marks plus over 200 product patents. The catalog spans wholesale kitchen faucets, basin and shower ranges, and bathroom accessories, which lets a distributor build a coordinated finish family from one supplier. Because FAAO is structured around OEM and ODM work rather than its own retail brand, logo engraving, custom packaging and finish development are standard rather than exceptions.
LOTA (Xiamen) Industrial was founded in 1990 with Taiwanese investment and has grown into one of the larger export-oriented kitchen and bath producers in Fujian. The group reports exports to more than 70 countries, a very large R&D headcount and a substantial annual new-product pipeline, and it acts as a strategic supplier to international chain retailers. LOTA is a strong candidate when your program runs into six figures per SKU and you need a partner that can absorb engineering change requests without slipping the shipping window.
VIGA operates from Kaiping in Guangdong, the cluster best known for high-end brass work. It is frequently cited as a design-led choice for European and North American importers, with strength in stainless steel bodies and fashion finishes such as matte black, brushed gold and white. If your differentiation strategy is finish and silhouette rather than price, a Kaiping design-oriented factory like VIGA usually gets you to a sellable sample faster than a volume plant would.
Established in 1991 in Shuikou Town, Kaiping, Weiqiang runs business units across copper materials, plumbing hardware, electroplating and zinc alloy die-casting. That vertical structure matters more than it sounds. When the same group controls the brass billet and the plating line, dezincification resistance and plating adhesion stop being a supplier-to-supplier finger-pointing exercise. Buyers shipping into markets with strict lead and dezincification limits often prefer this kind of integrated setup.
Kaiping Yufa was established in 2007 in Shuikou Town and covers around 23,000 square meters, producing faucets, kitchen sinks and bathroom accessories with ISO 9001, CE and cUPC certification. The in-house sink capability is the distinguishing feature: pairing a pull-out kitchen tap with a matched undermount sink in one shipment removes a whole layer of coordination for North American retail buyers.
These are the workshops that keep China competitive on standard models. Expect a narrower catalog, less English-language documentation and a stronger price, and expect to run your own inspection.
KPO is located in Shuikou Town, Kaiping, and covers the full chain from material selection and molding through machining, polishing, plating and assembly. The factory carries a TÜV Rheinland audit report and offers OEM and ODM service with samples available. Published lead times run around one month in the off season and one to three months in peak season, which is a realistic planning assumption for most Kaiping mid-range producers.
YOROOW sits in Nan’an, Fujian, with die-casting, electroplating and CNC finishing under one roof and annual output stated at over one million sets. Nan’an is the cluster to use when the product is a high-runner: a basic single-lever kitchen mixer, an angle valve, a standard basin tap. It is generally the wrong cluster for a low-volume statement piece with an unusual finish.
Founded in 2002 in Yuhuan, Zhejiang, Difeng covers roughly 6,600 square meters with about 120 staff and annual capacity above one million pieces. The company runs its own test lab with cartridge durability, flow rate and salt spray equipment, and exports to more than 20 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America. Its scale suits importers placing trial quantities who still want in-house testing evidence rather than a trading-company promise.
Almost every credible supplier you will meet sits in one of four places, and the cluster tells you a lot before you read a single quotation.
| Cluster | Known for | Typical buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Kaiping, Guangdong | High-end brass bodies, cUPC and NSF files, fashion finishes | North American and European brand importers |
| Nan’an, Fujian | Cost-effective mass production, deep component supply | Supermarkets, DIY chains, high-volume wholesalers |
| Yuhuan, Zhejiang | Precision machining, mid-range brass and zinc alloy | Mid-market importers and trial-order buyers |
| Wenzhou, Zhejiang | Integrated foundry-to-assembly OEM plants | Private-label and coordinated-collection programs |
Splitting a large program across two clusters is common practice. Mass-produced kitchen mixers go to Nan’an for cost, while the premium finishes and certification-heavy models go to Kaiping or Wenzhou. That reduces dependence on a single origin and lets you price two tiers without compromising either.
A kitchen faucet lives a harder life than a basin tap. It gets pulled, twisted, sprayed and knocked, often 30 to 60 times a day in a family home and far more in a commercial kitchen. Six specification points separate the orders that come back clean from the ones that generate warranty claims.
For heavy-duty use in restaurants, staff canteens and institutional kitchens, the specification shifts again toward a pre-rinse layout, a heavier deck plate and serviceable parts. Our commercial kitchen faucet range is built around that duty cycle rather than a residential one.
Certification is where kitchen faucet orders get held at the port. Confirm that the certificate lists the exact model number and finish you are buying, not just a family name.
| Market | Core requirement | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| United States | cUPC listing, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, ASME A112.18.1 | California and Vermont lead rules; WaterSense if claimed |
| Canada | cUPC and CSA B125.1 | Bilingual labelling and packaging text |
| Royaume-Uni | WRAS or Regulation 4 approval | Every wetted component needs an approved material |
| France and EU | ACS, KTW or W270 depending on country | CE alone does not cover drinking water contact |
| Australia and New Zealand | WaterMark under AS/NZS 3718 plus WELS registration | WaterMark and WELS are separate schemes, both mandatory |
If your program spans several of these markets, work out the certificate matrix before you tool anything. Our faucet certification comparison breaks down which mark applies where and what each test actually covers.
Published minimums are negotiable far more often than buyers assume, because the real constraint is rarely the assembly line. It is tooling, plating batch size and packaging print runs.
Lead time for a repeat order of an existing model normally lands between 30 and 45 days after deposit. Add 10 to 20 days for a new finish and 45 to 70 days if a mold has to be cut and validated. Peak season before Chinese New Year and before the autumn retail reset compresses capacity across every cluster, so book those windows early. Whether you run this as a pure OEM build or bring your own design is a separate decision, and our guide to OEM versus ODM faucet manufacturing covers the cost and IP implications of each route.
Freight is a real line item on kitchen faucets, and a carton that is 15 percent oversized quietly eats the margin you negotiated on unit price. Use the planner below to sanity-check how many units your next shipment can carry, then ask each shortlisted factory to confirm master carton dimensions in writing.

Start with Group A or LOTA in Group B. Ask for a dedicated production slot, a signed quality agreement, and annual price validity tied to a brass index. Request cUPC or WRAS files in your own company name where the scheme allows, so a supplier change later does not reset your compliance.
Group B is your zone. Ask for finish development on an existing body rather than new tooling, confirm logo engraving and carton print minimums separately, and lock a first-article inspection before mass production. This is the segment FAAO is structured around.
Group A plus a Group B backup. Specification consistency across phases matters more than unit price, so require written confirmation that the model will stay in production for the project duration, and buy 2 to 3 percent spare cartridges and aerators with the main order.
Look at Group C and the smaller Group B factories. Pay for samples, insist on retail-ready packaging with a drop test, and budget for a third-party inspection. Skip custom tooling entirely on your first two orders and validate demand first.
Most sourcing failures trace back to a step that was skipped rather than a factory that lied. Run these five in order.

FAAO manufactures in Wenzhou with foundry, machining, polishing and assembly in-house, ships to more than 80 countries and supports OEM logo, packaging and finish development. Tell us your market and volume and we will come back with a costed proposal.
For an existing model in factory packaging, most manufacturers accept 100 to 300 pieces per SKU. Adding your logo and printed carton usually raises it to 500 to 1,000 pieces because of print run minimums. A new finish on an existing body typically starts at 1,000 pieces, and fully custom tooling generally begins at 3,000 pieces plus a mold charge. Ask each supplier to break the minimum down by tooling, plating and packaging, since one of the three is normally the real constraint and can often be negotiated.
It depends on what you are buying. Kaiping in Guangdong is the strongest cluster for high-end brass bodies and North American certification files. Nan'an in Fujian is the most cost-effective for high-volume standard models. Yuhuan in Zhejiang offers precision machining at mid-range prices and accepts smaller trial orders. Wenzhou, also in Zhejiang, is home to integrated OEM plants that run foundry through assembly under one roof. Large programs are often split across two clusters to balance cost against finish quality.
Request the business licence and check that the scope of business includes manufacturing rather than only trade. Match the legal entity name across the licence, quotation, test certificate and proforma invoice. Ask for a live video walkthrough of the plating line and the water test station, as these are the two areas a trading company cannot fake. Certificates issued in a different company's name are the clearest signal that you are dealing with an intermediary.
For the United States you need a cUPC listing, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 compliance for drinking water contact and lead content, and conformity with ASME A112.18.1. California and Vermont apply additional lead rules. For the European Union, CE marking alone does not cover drinking water contact, so you also need the relevant national scheme, which is ACS in France, KTW or W270 in Germany, and WRAS or Regulation 4 approval in the United Kingdom. Always confirm the certificate lists your exact model number.
A repeat order of an existing model normally ships 30 to 45 days after the deposit clears. Add roughly 10 to 20 days for a new finish that requires a separate plating batch, and 45 to 70 days when new tooling has to be cut and a first article approved. Capacity tightens before Chinese New Year and ahead of the autumn retail reset, so reserve production slots several weeks earlier than usual during those windows.
No single factory wins on brand strength, unit cost and customization at the same time. National groups give you a recognizable name, cluster factories give you price, and export-focused OEM specialists sit in the middle where most private-label programs land. Match the supplier group to your market, verify every certificate against the exact model you are buying, and pay for a golden sample before the first container leaves. If you need a kitchen faucet partner in Wenzhou with casting, plating and assembly under one roof, FAAO is built for that conversation.
