Behind every bag of freshly roasted coffee that leaves Skywalker Coffee Roaster stands a manufacturer with more than a decade of engineering experience. Foshan Akimita Household Appliances Co., Ltd. Shunde First Branch — commonly known as Foshan Akimita Shunde 1st Branch — is the design, production, and demonstration hub of the Skywalker Coffee Roaster series and a full ecosystem of specialty coffee equipment. Located in Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong, the branch sits in the heart of one of China's most advanced home-appliance manufacturing corridors.

The Akimita story began between 2015 and 2017, when its founders traveled the world to study coffee tools, brewing culture, and the expectations of specialty coffee professionals. Between 2018 and 2019, the Akimita brand was officially established with a signature diamond-pattern line of coffee kettles and pour-over drippers. In 2020 and 2021, Akimita became independent from its parent company, Richy (Foshan) Industries and Investments Co., Ltd. — a business founded in 2007 with more than 16 years of experience in coffee and water-related products — and opened its own company and café. From 2022 to 2024, the team developed its electric coffee roasters and built a dedicated factory, completing the transformation from accessory maker to a full coffee roaster manufacturer.

Today, Akimita holds more than 20 patents, a result of its philosophy that original design and continuous product innovation are what allow customers to stand out in a competitive market.

The Shunde 1st Branch integrates three functions that rarely coexist in one facility:

This integration means engineers and production staff work in the same building. Prototypes move quickly from drawing board to test roast, and quality feedback is immediate. For buyers, it means the Skywalker Coffee Roaster they purchase has already been validated by the people who drink its coffee every day.

While the Skywalker Coffee Roaster is the flagship, Foshan Akimita Shunde 1st Branch designs and manufactures a full workflow of specialty coffee equipment: the 500g Standard Alpha, the 500g professional Dual System Delta, the 200g Standard Cubean, and the 200g Dual System Cubean+ roasters, alongside barista tools including electric kettles, gooseneck pour-over kettles, coffee drippers, hand grinders, and complete barista kits. OEM and ODM services are available for international partners through the Richy group's manufacturing base.

Every Skywalker Coffee Roaster is built to meet international standards and carries certifications including CE, CB, LFGB, FDA, and ROHS, covering electrical safety, food-contact materials, and environmental compliance for European, American, and global markets. Both 110V and 220V power configurations are supported, making the machines ready for export worldwide.

Shunde offers an exceptional supply chain, a skilled labor pool, and proximity to major shipping ports — advantages Akimita passes on to customers through competitive pricing, short lead times, and scalable production capacity from single-machine orders to container shipments for distributors. Local support, fast shipping, and a price-match guarantee complete the package.

Whether you are a specialty café, a growing micro-roastery, a distributor, or a home roasting enthusiast, Foshan Akimita Shunde 1st Branch welcomes factory visits, live roasting demonstrations, and sample tastings. Come see how the Skywalker Coffee Roaster is made — and taste the coffee it produces.
