According to the original CPPIA report, the Association plans to use the 2026 China International Plastics Exhibition to support product presentation and business matching for melamine products.

SHALL’s Product and Manufacturing Focus

Founded in 2003, Shall Houseware Manufacturing Inc. is a design-driven manufacturer of melamine tableware and houseware. Its current product structure includes HORECA Melamine Tableware, Kids Melamine Dinnerware, Melamine Houseware, and Home & Outdoor Melamine Dinnerware.

SHALL serves its own brands, overseas brands, importers and wholesalers, restaurant and hotel projects, retail chains, ecommerce customers and gift buyers through existing products, OEM private-label manufacturing, ODM product development and customized projects.

The original CPPIA report states that SHALL has expanded from conventional tableware into a broader household product portfolio, accumulated more than 500 design patents and currently offers more than 3,000 key product SKUs. It also reports cooperation with retail chains in China and overseas and sales to Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Japan and South Korea. These figures are attributed to the CPPIA report and are not presented as market-share or industry-ranking claims.

Continued Industry Engagement and Standards Participation

This was not the first CPPIA publication to document a visit to SHALL. The July 2023 issue of CPPIA Communication reported that an Association delegation toured SHALL’s production and product display areas and held discussions on the company’s operations, innovation and development needs.

China’s National Public Service Platform for Standards lists Shall Houseware Manufacturing Inc. as one of the principal drafting organizations for GB/T 41001—2021, Melamine Plastic Tableware. The standard addresses requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation and storage for melamine plastic tableware.

Supporting the Next Stage of Melamine Industry Development

The original CPPIA report identifies SHALL as the chair organization of the China Melamine Products Association of CPPIA. Smart manufacturing in the melamine sector involves more than equipment and production efficiency. It also affects product design, process consistency, quality control, testing, compliance information and market communication.

The visit connected the company’s practical needs with CPPIA’s industry service and coordination role and provided a basis for further exchange on intelligent production, product innovation, market development and responsible growth.
