Introduction 

The Interforce Group, with a Hong Kong/China-based Design, Development, Engineering and Quality team working closely with factories in mainland China, is an established full-service product design and manufacturing unit for clients, in the low to mid-priced home audio and video market. 


Interforce Group benefits from its presence at the heart of the global audio/video manufacturing industry, and has extensive experience of working with outsourced manufacturers in China to produce consistently high-quality output as its designs are turned into real products. 

Though based in Hong Kong/China, Interforce Group brings a strong Western sensibility to its design focus. Thus, it delivers the distinctive stylistic touches demanded by Western consumers, while maintaining close ties with the factories that will actually be manufacturing end products for its clients. 


Interforce Group has a reputation for producing practical and cost-effective designs 

The Interforce Group has its origins in Zoo Design, founded by Serge Kokkinis in 1993 in order to leverage his expertise in audio/video design gained through many years experience working for Thomson and other hi-fi production companies. 

Initially operated as an independent design house in Hong Kong, Zoo created innovative products for HK companies seeking to differentiate their offerings with a European flare that would also appeal to Western consumers. 

Building upon its reputation as a provider of designs that were both style-led and practical from a manufacturing perspective, Zoo decided to expand across the value chain to provide a fully integrated design, engineering, product management and quality control service. This resulted in the creation of Oxygen Ltd. In 1996 to handle this integrated Audio Business. 

A crucial step towards achieving this goal came when Eric Burq, a former colleague of Kokkinis’ at Thomson, brought his extensive production experience and numerous contacts with manufacturers to the firm. Burq’s key skill was his ability to ensure that mainland Chinese manufacturers produced consistently high quality goods. 

In 1998, Zoo Design and Oxygen became part of Interforce, a new business headed by Eric Burq and jointly owned by Burq and Kokkinis. 

In the years following 1998, Interforce implemented its integrated service model, launching a full range of audio appliances through Oxygen Ltd. 

In 2005 Interforce have launched a range of Video and Digital Products through Oxygen Ltd. 

Have a short design to finished product time line which allows flexibility in responding to rapidly evolving consumer tastes. 

With all design development done in house Oxygen is able to involve their customers in all stages of the process, meaning the customer gets exactly the product they want.
