About XMAX, Inc.
About XMAX, Inc.
XMax markets contemporary residential and commercial furniture under the Diamond Sofa and Nova Living brands, selling in 9 countries in 2025 with North America accounting for 52.1% of total sales and Hong Kong contributing a further 47.4%, a sharp swing from 2024 when North America alone made up 97.4% of sales. Marble slabs, sofas, and coffee tables were the company's top-selling product categories in 2025, at approximately 47%, 30%, and 5% of sales, respectively.
XMax operates as a branding and marketing company with vertically integrated third-party manufacturing, sourcing finished furniture from outside manufacturers under quality-control oversight rather than owning factories; two principal suppliers accounted for approximately 25% of the company's total purchases in 2025. One customer accounted for more than 10% of total sales in 2025, compared with no customer above that threshold in 2024, reflecting the wholesale, distributor-driven nature of its customer base of designers, distributors, and retailers. Diamond Bar, its main U.S. operating subsidiary, generated 52.6% of total sales in 2025. In March 2026, XMax's board approved an expansion into artificial intelligence alongside its furniture business, incorporating XMax AI Inc. and signing a $400,000 fixed-fee agreement with Cloud Alliance Inc. to deploy an AI inference platform on Amazon Web Services, a new, still-unproven revenue line layered onto the legacy furniture operations.

XMax's furniture margins face a direct, quantified tariff threat: since February 1, 2025, U.S. executive orders have imposed tariffs of between 27% and 70% on furniture imported from China and between 0% and 50% on furniture imported from India, costs the company says could be passed through to consumers and weigh on already tariff-sensitive discretionary furniture demand. That exposure sits on top of a business already reliant on discretionary middle- and upper-middle-income spending, sensitive to housing market conditions, interest rates, and consumer confidence, at a moment when the company is simultaneously diverting board attention and capital toward an unrelated, newly launched AI infrastructure venture.
