Lotus Sleep Products Expands into Chinese Market

Saskatoon, Sask.-based Lotus Sleep Products has added Tianqi Han to its team, who will serve as international strategic partner.

The move marks a significant milestone in Lotus’ expansion plans. The Canadian start-up aims to leverage Han’s vast network and expertise to facilitate market entry, establish strong local partnerships and ensure the brand’s success in China.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for Lotus to expand our reach and introduce our high-quality, Canadian-made luxury mattresses to Chinese consumers,” says Lotus founder Jon Piett.

Han reportedly brings a background of expanding business in the Chinese market to Lotus, serving senior positions in various unicorn companies in that country. He is also currently international co-chair and president of the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance, which is a global network of more than one million top young professionals around the world.

“Han’s extensive experience and proven success in guiding foreign companies into the Chinese market make him an invaluable asset,” says Piett.

Piett’s passion for sleep led him to launch Lotus in 2018. Its mattresses are designed in Saskatchewan and made in Canada.

Piett is also co-owner of Modern Mattress. Now in its tenth year in business, the company has six stores in the province that carry the Lotus brand.
