Assembly stations at the Shunde 1st Branch — each Skywalker Coffee Roaster passes multiple inspection points before packaging.

Most coffee roaster brands design in one country, manufacture in another and roast in a third. Foshan Akimita Shunde 1st Branch does all three under one roof. As the manufacturing home of the Skywalker Coffee Roaster, this Shunde facility combines precision machining, rigorous quality control and daily real-world roasting — a vertical integration that shows in every machine leaving the floor.

The factory spans 2,500 square metres and employs more than 30 skilled workers. CNC precision machinery shapes core components, automated assembly lines keep tolerances consistent, and dedicated testing stations evaluate every unit before packaging. Nothing ships on reputation alone: each Skywalker Coffee Roaster passes multiple inspection points covering drum rotation, heater performance, airflow, sensor calibration and safety systems.

Parts are inspected before production begins, assembly follows strict written procedures, and finished goods are stored in climate-controlled warehouse space that protects sensitive electronics until dispatch. Buyers can verify the result in person — factory visits and live roasting demonstrations are openly welcomed.

Adjacent to the production floor is a professional quality-assurance laboratory where engineers measure airflow, temperature stability and drum rotation consistency across different roast profiles. These are the three variables that decide whether a roaster can repeat a profile — and exactly the variables that low-cost home machines cannot hold steady.

Because the branch operates within the wider Akimita ecosystem alongside the company's R&D centre and testing laboratory, findings feed directly back into design. Firmware updates, heater tuning and ergonomic refinements are then tested under real conditions in the on-site café, where staff roast for paying customers every day. The machine you buy has already survived thousands of commercial-duty batches.

Every Skywalker Coffee Roaster carries CE, CB, LFGB, FDA and ROHS certifications — covering European electrical safety, international CB scheme compliance, food-contact material safety under LFGB and FDA, and hazardous-substance restrictions under ROHS. Machines are configured for both 110V and 220V grids, so customers in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia receive units matched to local standards.

Foshan Akimita Household Appliances Co., Ltd. belongs to the Richy (Foshan) Industries and Investments group, established in 2007 with more than 16 years of experience in coffee and water-related products. Through this partnership, Akimita offers full OEM and ODM services for international brands and distributors — from custom branding and housing design to entirely new machine development. The company holds more than 20 patents, reflecting an original-design philosophy that helps partners differentiate rather than resell generic equipment.

Existing platforms that can be customised include the 500g Standard Alpha, the 500g Dual System Delta, the 200g Standard Cubean and the 200g Dual System Cubean+.

Shunde District is one of China's premier appliance manufacturing regions, offering an exceptional component supply chain, a deep pool of skilled labour and proximity to major shipping ports. For customers this translates into competitive factory-direct pricing, short lead times, and production that scales smoothly from a single demonstration unit to container-quantity orders. Production planners maintain healthy raw-material inventories specifically to protect delivery schedules.

The branch also runs ongoing training programmes where service technicians learn to calibrate roasters, integrate third-party software such as Artisan, and perform preventive maintenance. These sessions ensure engineers dispatched around the world are fully versed in the latest machine configurations — so wherever your Skywalker Coffee Roaster operates, support from the factory that built it is never far away.
