We believe in full transparency. We openly share our facility details and welcome on-site factory visits, video inspections, and social audits under the amfori BSCI social audit standard.
Our Main Skate Categories
We specialize in three main skate categories for international brand owners, retailers, and distributors:
- Inline Skates: From size-adjustable skates for growing kids to sturdy hard-boot skates for adult fitness and city commuting.
- Quad Roller Skates: Classic retro boots, high-top artistic dance skates, and durable rental fleet skates.
- Ice Skates & Blades: Recreational winter ice skates and convertible 2-in-1 inline-to-ice chassis systems.
We also make matching protective gear, skate bags, replacement wheels, and bearings. We help you pick the right models and features for your target price and market.
Our Workshop & Equipment
We do all key manufacturing steps inside our own factory. That gives us full control over product consistency, quality checks, and delivery schedules.
We maintain a mold library of more than 200 existing molds for boot shells, cuffs, frames, and plates. When you choose an existing mold, you save thousands of dollars in tooling costs and cut months off your launch schedule.

How Our Engineering Team Supports You
Do you want to develop a new skate or customize an existing model? Our engineering team works directly with you from the first sketch to the finished product.
- CAD & 3D Design: We fine-tune shell shapes, cuff flexibility, and frame mounting points for maximum comfort and safety.
- Fast Physical Sampling: We build physical prototypes in 7 to 15 working days so you can test fit, wheel roll, and colors before ordering bulk.
- Custom Colors & Branding: We apply your brand logo using screen printing, heat transfer, rubber patches, or laser engraving on metal parts.
- Retail Packaging: We design custom color boxes, barcode labels, hangtags, and user instruction manuals ready for retail shelves or e-commerce delivery.
- Custom Molds: If you want a completely unique shell design, our mold engineers build exclusive molds for your brand. Read our practical guide on roller skate mold ownership and NDA protection to see how tooling rights and contracts work.
How We Control Quality Every Day
We never treat quality as an afterthought. We build quality checks into every single stage of production under our ISO 9001 quality management guidelines:
- Raw Material Inspection: We inspect plastic pellets, synthetic leathers, fabrics, bearings, and PU wheels before they enter the workshop.
- In-Line Inspections: During sewing and molding, our supervisors check stitching strength, eyelet tightness, and shell dimensions.
- Finished Assembly Checks: We check axle tightness, wheel spin smoothness, buckle locking strength, and brake security on every pair.
- Final AQL Inspection: Before cartons are sealed, our QC team samples finished goods following international AQL sampling tables. We welcome your own inspectors or third-party teams (like SGS or QIMA) to verify the order before loading.

Skates are active sports equipment, so safety is our top priority. We manufacture skates that meet international safety rules so you can sell with confidence:

How to Compare Us with Other Suppliers
When choosing a manufacturing partner, we encourage you to use the same strict checklist for us that you use for any other factory:
- Does the supplier own their molding and assembly equipment, or are they just a trading office?
- Do they have in-house engineers who can update CAD drawings and resolve fit questions?
- Can they provide model-specific safety test reports that match your target market?
- Will they sign an NDA to protect your private brand designs and custom packaging?
We hold ourselves to these high standards on every production run. Feel free to explore our step-by-step advice on how to find a reliable roller skate supplier, download our roller skate manufacturer buyer checklist, or read our guide on how to evaluate a Chinese roller skate manufacturer.
