Mr. Edward Zheng
Co-founder
Mr. Edward Zheng is the founder of Tofasco Inc. (www.tofasco.com) and co-founder of UST, a successful California-based company that has developed, marketed, and distributed billions of products to leading U.S. retailers since its founding. Drawing on his extensive experience working with Chinese manufacturing and deep understanding of both markets, Zheng is now focused on strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities to reduce dependence on PRC production.
In 1994, Tofasco Inc. began by leveraging Chinese manufacturing capacity, initially focusing on handicrafts and recreational furniture. These early products gained widespread market acceptance, and with each successful project, Tofasco Inc. demonstrated the value of Chinese partnerships to Western retailers. The company implemented strategic plans to meet the growing demand for affordable consumer goods.
Tofasco Inc. rapidly established itself as a preferred trading partner for North America’s top retailers, including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Costco, Kohl’s, Home Depot, and Best Buy. These strong relationships, forged over 20 years ago, continue today and have enabled Tofasco Inc. to expand into new categories including wearable devices, home automation, green technology, portable energy, consumer electronics, and storage solutions. Today, Tofasco Inc.’s platform streamlines business processes for manufacturers, inventors, and investors.
Prior to founding Tofasco, Mr. Zheng worked as a Project Engineer in the auto industry, where he gained comprehensive knowledge of manufacturing process control and quality systems in one of the most demanding sectors. Over the past 20 years, he has successfully established various manufacturing companies, ranging from metal fabrication and chrome plating facilities to electronics plants.
