Kaiping Huitailong Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd. (开平市汇泰龙卫浴 / Huitailong Faucets)
Company Overview
Kaiping Huitailong Sanitary Ware is a faucet and sanitary ware manufacturer based in Kaiping, Jiangmen, Guangdong — the town that sits at the centre of the Shuikou faucet cluster, which produces a large share of China's domestic faucet output and a substantial part of its export volume.
Being inside that cluster matters for a buyer in ways that are not obvious from a catalogue. Kaiping has a dense local supply of brass bar stock, die casters, CNC machining shops, polishing workshops and electroplating lines, all within a short drive. That means a factory here can buy castings rather than make them, or make them in-house, and can flex between the two depending on order size. It also means the electroplating quality varies enormously street by street, because plating is often the last outsourced step — which is exactly the step that decides whether a faucet looks new after three years.
Main Products
Basin faucets, kitchen mixers, shower mixers and shower systems, together with the bathroom accessories that usually travel with a faucet programme. The construction routes are the ones standard in this cluster: low-pressure die casting for brass bodies, CNC machining and polishing, then multi-layer electroplating, with cartridge assembly and leak testing at the end.
Two things worth asking about specifically when evaluating a Kaiping supplier. First, whether the plating is done in-house or bought in — in-house lines can be audited and sampled, outsourced plating is much harder to control, and the nickel layer thickness is the number that decides corrosion performance. Second, whether the cartridge is sourced from a known supplier (Sedal, Kerox and similar names appear across this cluster) or is a domestic equivalent, because the cartridge is the part the end customer experiences as "the tap that drips".
Certification
For exports to Europe, ask for the CE documentation and, where relevant, the applicable national drinking-water material approvals; for North America, the relevant listing and low-lead compliance documentation. For the Middle East and Southeast Asia, market-specific requirements apply. These are product- and market-specific, so request the current certificates against the exact model list and verify them against the manufacturer's own documentation and the issuing body's records.
