About Zina

Conceived in 2000 by Joseph Mezzina, ZINA was started with a single purpose - to bring innovative, high quality, problem solving items that are demonstrable and have value to the world’s largest television shopping network. Since that time and under the guidance of a top management team with over 35 years combined experience in product development for the live TV shopping market, ZINA has become a provider of a comprehensive range of proprietary services that enable any inventor, brand or manufacturer with a great product to successfully tap into the massive and powerful consumer market of live TV shopping on QVC.

Zina Z-LogoEarly in our company's history we adopted QVC's customer philosophy to under promise and over deliver. With this as our foundation, every service we provide was developed and improved to maximize the potential success of products on-air. Whether it's our management of product evaluation, branding and design, manufacturing, quality assurance, supply chain logistics or our very well developed TV Sales Operation, we have the experience and expertise to make the most of every opportunity. We are also constantly improving our process and services to stay current and relevant for our clients. These are the hallmarks of our success and responsibilities we take very seriously.

Today, our decision remains to be completely dedicated to exclusively working with QVC. Through our commitment to them, we have developed a profound understanding of their business strategy and customer promise. The result is a successful track record of creating value for both our internal and external clients, which is proven by the on-air success of the products we have brought to market via live TV shopping.

We believe in making a difference. 
So, let ZINA be your partner in innovation, quality, value added performance and success.
