Cixi
Cixi is a major manufacturing city in Zhejiang Province and one of China’s most important production bases for home appliances, electrical components, and consumer electronics. Located near Ningbo, the city is deeply integrated into the Yangtze River Delta manufacturing and export ecosystem. Cixi is home to leading appliance and electronics manufacturers such as Fotile, AUX Group, and Joyoung, along with thousands of OEM and ODM factories producing small household appliances, kitchen appliances, heaters, fans, power strips, switches, and electronic components for global markets. Many suppliers in Cixi manufacture for international brands and large retailers under private-label arrangements. In addition to appliances, Cixi has strong capabilities in plastics, molds, hardware, packaging, and precision components, enabling vertically integrated production and fast product iteration. Its proximity to Ningbo Port provides efficient export logistics at lower operating costs than nearby Shanghai.
