On August 11, 2026, a KFC delegation from Africa visited the Seata factory. This cross-continental visit was not only an on-site validation of Seata's product capabilities, but also marked a new stage in the evolution of China's foodservice equipment supply chain, from "standardized manufacturing" toward "internationalized services."

PART.01 Deep Expertise in Chain Restaurants, Hardware Strength Builds the Foundation of Trust.

As a manufacturing company under the ZNNT Group, Seata has built extensive expertise in the foodservice equipment industry. Since its establishment in 2001, Seata has specialized in core equipment including cold room panels, refrigeration units, and stainless steel products, serving fast-food restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and other businesses across domestic and international markets.

The African KFC delegation focused primarily on Seata's customized "modular cold rooms" and stainless steel solutions for chain restaurants. Their performance in ensuring food safety and reducing energy consumption represents a key consideration for global expansion among international restaurant chains.

PART.02 More Than Equipment, KES Services Set a New Standard for Partnership.

The focus of this visit extended beyond the hardware and facilities of the Seata factory to the comprehensive KES services provided by ZNNT. For multinational foodservice brands, equipment procurement is only the starting point. The real challenge lies in efficient implementation and stable, long-term operation in international markets.

With more than 30 offices nationwide and a 7×24-hour service network, ZNNT extends its proven end-to-end solution, covering "consulting - system design - manufacturing and installation - after-sales maintenance," from the domestic market to international markets. From standardized production in China to localized adaptation for the African market, KES services are designed to help foodservice businesses accelerate project setup, reduce initial trial-and-error costs, and control energy consumption and maintenance expenses throughout long-term operations, ultimately achieving greater efficiency and cost effectiveness.

PART.03 From Domestic Benchmark to Global Partner, Supporting the International Expansion of Foodservice Brands.

The visit was personally led by Mr. Li Jiang, General Manager of ZNNT Group, and Mr. Yip Kwok Cheung, CEO of KIAN Furniture Greater China, reflecting the importance both parties place on international markets. By combining KIAN Furniture's expertise in commercial spaces with Seata's foodservice equipment manufacturing capabilities, the two companies are creating a synergistic "equipment + space" solution to provide more comprehensive support for foodservice brands expanding overseas.

In emerging markets such as Africa, Seata demonstrates not only its ability to export products, but also its capability to deliver comprehensive service systems. By combining China's manufacturing efficiency with rapid response capabilities, Seata addresses the localized needs of diverse markets around the world. Seata remains committed to using professional cold rooms and customized stainless steel solutions as its foundation, with KES services as an extension, helping foodservice businesses operate efficiently and continue to grow wherever they are in the world.
