Okin America

What Okin America does

OKIN America Inc. is a privately held US subsidiary of Germany's DewertOkin GmbH, itself owned by the Swiss industrial conglomerate Phoenix Mecano. Headquartered in Shannon, Mississippi, the company manufactures electric drive and system technology components — single drives, double drives, lifting columns, recliner mechanisms, control units, handsets, and accessories — for four end verticals: bedding, seating, office (height-adjustable desks), and medical equipment. OKIN positions itself as the inventor of the double drive for adjustable beds and claims the leading global position in drive technology for comfort beds, supported by 40+ years of category experience and a portfolio of patented technologies including an adjustable sliding system for desk stability and Bluetooth-enabled control units.

The company operates as a B2B component supplier, generating revenue through hardware sales of standardized catalog components and customized system solutions engineered jointly with each customer. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through direct sales engagements with furniture and medical OEMs. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales from Shannon — including local warehouse inventory for short delivery times on standard components — with event-driven lead generation at major international trade shows such as Las Vegas Market, High Point Market, interzum, Orgatec, MEDICA, Arab Health, CMEF, and Furniture China. An international sales partner network extends the company's reach to 40+ countries.

Manufacturing scale is anchored by the parent group's 150,000+ sq mt DewertOkin Industrial Park in JiaXing, China, completed in 2023 with two production plants, a five-story office building, and an 800+ sq mt showroom; the Smart Office Division occupies a dedicated 36,000 sq mt facility opened in 2017. Quality and regulatory posture is broad, with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications (2024-2027), plus UL, CUL, ETL, CE, REACH, RoHS, and medical compatibility compliance. The product line increasingly incorporates software and intelligence — including the OKIN Smart Bed Control mobile app and the AI-enabled OKIN AI Zero-Pressure Recliner — extending the traditional drive-and-actuator offering toward smart, connected furniture.
