Who we are

A factory you can put on a shelf as a brand

Guangdong Zhongbao Kitchenware — Zoombo — was founded in 2002 and is now a national high-tech enterprise and a backbone manufacturer of mid-to-high-end stainless steel cookware: kettles, saucepans, steamers, pressure cookers and full cookware sets, built on one integrated chain.

Potobelo is Zoombo’s international brand for the global mass market: the group’s production standards and quality systems, without the brand premium. It gives distributors, retail chains and OEM buyers a supplier that looks like a brand, not a faceless factory.

Through the parent group, that factory has manufactured for international retail chains and supplied buyers across 40+ markets in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and beyond — the export track record that sits underneath the Potobelo name.

Manufacturing strength

One integrated chain, from design to packaging

Product planning, industrial design, tooling, forming, polishing, welding and packaging are mostly handled in-house — 70+ proprietary production lines making up to 26,000 units a day across 66,000+ ㎡. That control is what keeps a bulk run faithful to the approved sample.

The premises

What you are buying from, in photographs

Buyers place orders with a company they have usually never visited. These are the site, the floor and the showroom as they are — not renders, and not stock photography.

  • Office building and main gate at the Guangdong Zhongbao site

    The main gate and office block in Guangdong.

  • Rows of forming presses across a large production hall

    One of the forming halls. Presses, not assembly benches — bodies are drawn here.

  • Gloved hands holding a stainless steel body against a polishing belt

    Polishing is hand-fed against the belt, one body at a time.

  • Product showroom with wall displays of stainless steel cookware

    The showroom visiting buyers are received in.

  • Trade fair booth carrying the Zoombo, Bodeux and Potobelo brands

    A fair booth. Potobelo shares it with the group’s other brands.

  • Landscaped grounds inside the factory site

    Inside the gate — the site is owned, not rented floor space.
