About 3CBAY
A hardware company that ships under other people’s names
A Shenzhen product engineering team, working since 2017 on connected consumer electronics for overseas brands and Chinese export partners. What we build carries someone else’s logo. That suits us.
Why five directions
- Founded
- 2017
- Based in
- Shenzhen
A wearable, a pet feeder, a desktop robot and a learning tablet look like unrelated businesses. Underneath they are the same three problems: read the world with sensors, decide something on-device, and stay connected without eating the battery.
We invested in those three capabilities rather than in any single product category, and in working across four silicon tiers rather than defending one architecture. A client can bring us a category we have not built before without either side starting from zero.
It also means we say no to projects that need a capability we do not have. Being explicit about that has cost us orders and saved our clients far more.

Founded in Shenzhen as a product engineering team.
How we work
Quote what we can hold
A lead time we can meet beats one that wins the enquiry. We would rather lose the order than the second one.
Say the hard thing early
Certification risk, band issues, licensing costs — raised before tooling, not after.
Own the whole stack
Hardware, firmware and algorithms in one team means a field problem gets fixed, not explained away.
Work with us.
Whether you are an overseas brand or a Chinese export partner, the conversation starts the same way — tell us what you need to build.
