August 25, 2005 marked the beginning of KAL's journey.

On that day, the predecessor of Guangdong KAL Polymer Materials Co., Ltd., Guangzhou KAL Rubber & Plastic Products Co., Ltd., was officially established.

What started as a small rented workshop with a simple vision—to build better products through better manufacturing—has grown into one of China's leading OEM & ODM manufacturers specializing in mouse pads, desk mats, ergonomic wrist rests, gaming mouse pads, and custom surface products.

Today, as KAL celebrates its 21st Anniversary, we look back with gratitude, pride, and an even stronger commitment to innovation, quality, and long-term partnership.

A 21-Year Journey Built on Persistence, Not Luck

Manufacturing success is never achieved overnight.

It is built through years of continuous improvement, technical innovation, product refinement, and customer trust.

Over the past 21 years, KAL has experienced periods of rapid growth as well as challenging market conditions.

The global manufacturing industry has changed dramatically. Markets have evolved, competition has intensified, technologies have advanced, and customer expectations have become increasingly demanding.

Yet throughout every stage of this journey, one principle has remained unchanged:

Always focus on making better products.

Rather than chasing short-term opportunities, KAL chose to invest in technology, manufacturing capability, product development, and long-term customer relationships.

That commitment has enabled the company not only to survive an increasingly competitive market, but to become one of the leading manufacturers in the global mouse pad industry.

From a Small Factory to Dual Manufacturing Bases

Every manufacturing company has a beginning.

KAL began in a modest rented facility with limited equipment, a small product range, and a dedicated team determined to deliver reliable products.

Twenty-one years later, the company has grown into a modern manufacturing enterprise with two production bases located in Guangdong and Hubei, China, providing scalable manufacturing capacity for customers worldwide.

This transformation represents far more than physical expansion.

It reflects continuous investment in:

• Manufacturing technology
• Production capacity
• Engineering expertise
• Quality management
• Supply chain integration
• Digital manufacturing

Each milestone has strengthened KAL's ability to support global brands with stable production, consistent quality, and reliable delivery.

From Limited Product Lines to a Complete Surface Product Platform

When KAL was founded, our product portfolio was relatively small, and many manufacturing processes relied on external suppliers.

Today, KAL operates a highly integrated manufacturing system with complete in-house control over product development and production.

Our capabilities now include:

• Product Design
• Industrial Design
• Material Research
• Mold Design
• Mold Manufacturing
• Printing
• Laminating
• Precision Cutting
• Sewing
• Quality Inspection
• Packaging
• Global Shipping Support

This vertically integrated manufacturing model enables faster development, higher consistency, stronger quality control, and greater flexibility for OEM and ODM projects.

Comprehensive Product Portfolio for Global Brands

As customer needs expanded, KAL evolved from a traditional mouse pad manufacturer into a comprehensive surface products manufacturer.

Today our product portfolio includes:

Gaming Mouse Pads

Professional esports mouse pads designed for speed, balance, and control.

Office Mouse Pads

Reliable office mouse pads for business, education, and commercial markets.

Ergonomic Mouse Pads

Memory foam, gel, cork, leather, and other wrist rest solutions designed for long-term comfort.

Desk Mats

Custom Surface Products

OEM and ODM solutions for a wide range of rubber, fabric, composite, and specialty mat products.

Our goal is simple:

If it's a surface product or mat product, KAL strives to provide the right manufacturing solution.

Manufacturing Is More Than Production

Many companies manufacture products.

KAL helps customers build successful products.

Our complete development process includes:

• Market Trend Research
• Product Planning
• Industrial Design
• Structural Engineering
• Material Selection
• Mold Development
• Prototype Manufacturing
• Product Testing
• Mass Production
• Packaging Development

This one-stop development model allows customers to reduce development costs, shorten time-to-market, and accelerate product launches.

Technology Has Always Been Our Greatest Investment

Throughout our 21-year history, KAL has continuously invested in technology rather than relying solely on production scale.

Recent investments include:

• Advanced Gaming Mouse Pad Material Development
• Ergonomic Product Innovation
• Professional Testing Laboratory
• In-house Product R&D
• MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
• Smart Manufacturing
• Digital Production Management
• Automated Manufacturing Equipment

These investments improve not only manufacturing efficiency but also product consistency, traceability, and long-term product quality.

For KAL, technology is not a marketing slogan.

It is the foundation of sustainable manufacturing.

Challenges Made Us Stronger

Every manufacturing company experiences difficult periods.

KAL is no exception.

Over the past two decades, we have faced changing market conditions, economic uncertainty, rising manufacturing costs, and increasing global competition.

Rather than slowing down, KAL chose to invest even more in:

• Product Innovation
• Engineering
• Manufacturing Technology
• Quality Systems
• Customer Service

Because we believe that sustainable companies are built during difficult times—not easy ones.

Every challenge has strengthened our capabilities and reinforced our commitment to continuous improvement.

It is the beginning of the next chapter.

As we move forward, KAL will continue to invest in:

• Product Innovation
