If you're a New Zealand business considering HINLIM as a new supply partner, here's the five-decade story behind the company you'd be trusting with that relationship.
What began as a small, family-driven workshop in 1971 has grown into one of Southeast Asia's most trusted and respected furniture exporters. Today, Hin Lim Furniture Manufacturer Sdn Bhd supports import partners, retailers, wholesalers, and designers with consistent collections, dependable supply, and an easier way to reorder and restock.
For a New Zealand business without an existing relationship with an Asian furniture supplier, that history matters practically: a fifty-year track record, ISO 9001:2015 certification, and a scale (500,000 sq ft warehouse, USD 8 million ready-stock inventory across 3,000+ SKUs) a newer exporter can't offer.

Our journey has never been about simply producing furniture. It has always been about
A New Zealand retailer or designer sourcing through HINLIM has access to all five, not a single narrow catalogue.
At our core, HinLim is still a family-driven business — reliable, considerate, and supportive. We understand the pressures retailers face, the timelines designers juggle, and the challenges distributors navigate — including a New Zealand business doing this for the first time with an overseas supplier.
This is a brand built not only for beautiful spaces, but for the people and communities who bring those spaces to life.
Including options for New Zealand buyers who can't visit in person.
