TP-Link Tapo Smart Plug

The Tapo brand is a consumer-focused smart home line launched by TP-Link, a major global provider of networking products. Originally established in Shenzhen, China, the brand has grown significantly, offering a range of affordable and user-friendly devices including smart plugs, cameras, and lighting.

Manufacturing for Tapo products takes place in multiple locations to serve global markets. While a significant portion of production historically occurred in China, TP-Link has expanded its manufacturing footprint to include facilities in Vietnam and Brazil to diversify its supply chain and address regional regulatory requirements.

In recent years, the company underwent a corporate restructuring to separate its international operations from its mainland Chinese business. As of 2024, TP-Link Systems Inc. serves as the global parent company, headquartered in Irvine, California, and Singapore, overseeing the Tapo brand for international consumers.
