§ Our Story

From workshop to global supplier.

HTK was founded in 2005 by a group of process engineers who had cut their teeth at state-owned dairy and beverage factories in Shanghai and Wuxi. The original premise was simple: build sanitary equipment to international standards, but at a Chinese price point.

Twenty years on, we ship over 600 lines a year to manufacturers in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East — most of them returning customers.
