About · Established 2007 · Ningbo, China
Ocean Star Inc · Premier Household Chemicals Contract Manufacturer since 2007
Founded in Ningbo, Zhejiang in 2007, Ocean Star is a focused OEM and private-label manufacturer for home care, air fresheners, fragrance, beauty & personal care, pet care, and auto care. Three owned factories, an in-house R&D and regulatory team, and a global hub network supporting buyers in 60+ markets.
§01 — Introduction
“Ocean Star does not try to be everything to everyone — we focus on chemical products. When we cannot meet a client need, we are happy to help find a Chinese manufacturer who can.”
Ocean Star Inc was founded in 2007 in Ningbo, Zhejiang. From the very beginning our focus has been a quality product and customer service second to none. Our facilities were custom-built as chemical plants and have been our home since day one.
Ocean Star has worked with fragrance since the company was founded — flowers, fruits, fresh accords, naturals, and more — in liquid, gel, solid, and plastic formats. Every product is sampled separately and tested strictly in our own lab.
We originally started out making air fresheners (gel air freshener, gel beads, reed diffusers, plug-ins) and toilet cleaners (rim blocks, toilet cleaning gels, toilet blue blocks). Over the years we have grown into Home Care, Home Air Freshener, Car Air Freshener, Fragrance, Pet Care, Auto Care, and Beauty & Personal Care.
Our continuous employee training programme keeps rejects and overhead low, so the savings stay with our customers — importers, distributors, retailers, and private-label brand vendors who need a manufacturer they can rely on for the long term.
A note on the legal name: our registered entity is Ningbo Jiangbei Ocean Star Trading Co., Ltd. The "Trading" reflects our 2007 origins, when Ocean Star was founded as a trading company. The 20 years since moved the work in-house — R&D, fragrance lab, packaging engineering, and three owned factories (two in Ningbo, one in Indonesia). We kept the registered name for administrative continuity; the operation today is owned-factory manufacturing, not trading-distribution.
§02 — The differentiated advantage
In a competitive landscape, our edge lies not in a single capability but in the integration of the whole chain — R&D depth, packaging engineering, compliance workflow, and owned manufacturing. A value system that traditional traders and factory-only suppliers cannot replicate.
From concept to functional samples in around 4 weeks. In-house chemical lab and 3D design team accelerate R&D so buyers can evaluate prototypes earlier in the sourcing cycle.
R&D, product testing, and compliance checks are completed before mass production. Stability, compatibility, fragrance retention, and label compliance — verified at sample stage.
Owned factories and a professional QA team improve production consistency and delivery stability. OTIF performance is reported transparently for active programs.
SDS, REACH documentation, product testing, regulation and factory audits — handled by our regulatory team across NA, EU, UK, LATAM, MENA, and SEA.
Our category team tracks retailer shelf changes, fragrance trends, and packaging innovation — shared with active customers every week.

§03 — Departments
Designer, Produce, R&D, and Sales — each with their own discipline, all aligned to one outcome: products that win on the shelf.
01 · Designer
Good design is innovative. Whether a product becomes a market leader or follower depends on how we think — every product carries our team's effort, and the customer's satisfaction is what keeps us pushing forward.
02 · Produce
Modern production bases, professional technical teams, and a strong research base. Our automatic production lines keep quality high and deliveries on time. Visit our factory — you will find your favourite products here.
03 · R&D
Every seemingly simple product carries our effort and emotion. Before production we test and improve, again and again, so the product better meets demand and helps clients hold and expand their markets.
04 · Sales
Our customers are also our friends. We offer ideas and suggestions because good quality, fair pricing, and good service generate orders for you — which generate orders for us. Win-win is our belief.
§04 — Factories
Two in Ningbo, China and one in Indonesia — purpose-built chemical plants, not converted general-goods facilities.
