Z CAPITAL PARTNERS LLC has acquired Twin-Star International Inc. (Delray Beach, Florida). Twin-Star designs, manufactures, and markets a broad line of decorative electric fireplaces, heaters, home furnishings, and consumer electronics. With a track record of cutting-edge innovation, exceptional product quality, and outstanding customer service, the company has achieved the leading market position in the growing electric-fireplace category and is the primary supplier to many retailers across North America.

Twin-Star’s energy-efficient products are designed to provide a more economical and environmentally cleaner alternative to traditional wood- and gas burning fireplaces and to heat commercial and residential areas safely and efficiently. Twin-Star maintains a world class dedicated supply-chain infrastructure in Southern China that provides a distinct competitive advantage and enables it to ensure the highest-quality sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution consistently.

In addition, Twin-Star prides itself on delivering the safest products in its industry, and it is in the forefront in innovation, with patent-pending fire prevention technology. Safer Plug and Safer Sensor, which are designed to prevent electrical fires and the overheating of electrical products, are integrated into brands such as Duraflame, ClassicFlame, and PowerHeat. Z Capital plans to expand Twin-Star’s established retail platform into additional channels, including homebuilding, hotels and lodging, and commercial markets, as well as into new geographic areas.
