Planning for 2023

There are totally 1,500 production workers employed in our Guangzhou factory(since 2006), Myanmar factory(since 2018) and Hunan factory(since 2020). Also with about 35000 workers are in our other five production bases in Jiangxi, Guangxi, Ningxia, Sichuan and Hubei.
In April 2023 Guangzhou factory will move to a separate factory of 10,000㎡. The plan is to add 2 or 3 new production lines and 300 workers to the existing ones. Accommodation and food will also be provided for the workers.
2. Expansion of office space
Yakeda has achieved brilliant results since its establishment in 2006, one step at a time. Due to business expansion and the scale of the company's development, in 2023 we will move from a 250m2 office to a new 1,200m2 office that can accommodate 150 people. Sales Department, Branding Department and Marketing Departments will be further expanded.
3. Opening a new overseas factory
Following the completion of our overseas factory in Myanmar in 2018, we plan to set up a new factory in Southeast Asia in 2023 to take on more orders.
4.Develop New Products
In 2023, we aim to develop new small utility tactical pouches and chest rigs. Let's stay tuned!
Finally, the company handed out New Year red packets to every employee, sending the blessings and expectations to our every family member. It signifies that everyone will work smoothly, be safe and happy, and have all the best in the new year!
