History
Youqin was established in 2008 in Rui’an, Zhejiang Province, an area renowned for light manufacturing and hardware production. The company initially focused on manufacturing bathroom hardware products, including towel bars, soap holders, toilet paper holders, shower racks, hooks, and faucets.
As China’s e-commerce market expanded rapidly, Youqin transitioned from being primarily a manufacturer to building a recognisable consumer brand. It began selling directly through online marketplaces whilst continuing its OEM and ODM manufacturing operations. The company subsequently expanded into complete household storage and organisation products, significantly broadening its product catalogue.3
