OEM / ODM Customization – Your Brand, Our Production

Beyond the Stellar line, Hangzhou Chengxin Composite Materials operates as a carbon fiber boat manufacturer with a full OEM/ODM capability. If you are a kayak brand, an importer, a rental fleet operator or a water-sports retailer looking for a production partner, we build to your specification:

  • Custom Branding: Deck logos, hull graphics, color-matched RAL schemes, nameplate and serial marking
  • Layup Selection: Touring, racing and surfski builds; carbon, Kevlar or hybrid schedules tuned to target weight and budget
  • Mold & Tooling: Develop new models from your drawings, or adapt existing Stellar tooling to your requirements
  • Hardware & Rigging: Rudder systems, footbraces, hatches and deck rigging specified by you
  • Packaging & Export: Sea-worthy packing, container loading plans, customs documentation for your market

We position ourselves as a manufacturing partner, not just a supplier - prototypes, sampling and small-batch validation are part of the process before full production. Our target customers are businesses in the carbon fiber boat and paddle-sports industry; we do not take on unrelated product categories.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the S18 G2 and the S18 EXP G2?

A: The S18 G2 shares hull and deck lines with the EXP version but carries one less hatch and bulkhead, making it lighter and simpler - a pure touring setup. The EXP adds extra storage for expedition loads.

Q: How much does the S18 G2 weigh?

A: In the lightest Alpha carbon layup, 15.5 kg (34.2 lbs). The rugged Multi-Sport build comes in at 17.6 kg.

Q: Can I put my own brand on this kayak?

A: Yes. As part of our OEM/ODM service we apply your deck graphics, logos and color scheme, and can adapt hardware and packaging to your requirements. Sampling is available before series production.

Q: What is your MOQ for custom orders?

A: MOQ is flexible and depends on model and customization level. Single-unit sampling is always possible; series pricing applies from small batches upward.

Q: Do you sell retail or only wholesale?

A: We supply distributors, retailers, brands and fleet operators on wholesale terms. For end-consumer purchases, please contact our dealers in your region.

Q: Which markets do you currently serve?

A: As the authorized Stellar agent for South America and Asia, we export throughout both regions and worldwide, with established freight and documentation procedures.
