We founded Dali Bar in 2012 to make all-natural energy snacks for health-conscious people across China.

Our company is composed of a group of people who are passionate about our “Live Healthy, Live Happy” mission. This means that we are committed not only to living a healthy lifestyle ourselves, but also to improving the world around us.
