With over 50 years of combined manufacturing experience, Susan Hougui and Steven Leyva bring deep R&D and bakery expertise to every batch.
From allergen-free innovation to large-scale frozen production, they’ve built Dumpling Masters into one of America’s most flexible and flavor-focused food manufacturers.
Susan Hougui is an AIB-certified R&D expert with 20+ years of experience developing allergen-friendly, organic, and low-carb products. She leads product innovation at Dumpling Masters with a focus on quality, scalability, and bold flavor.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
Here’s what our clients have to say about working with Dumpling Masters:
Working with Dumpling Masters was a game-changer. They helped us scale our line faster than we thought possible — and the taste is still unbeatable.
From the very first sample to the final production run, their attention to detail was unmatched. We needed gluten-free, plant-based dumplings that still had bold flavor — they made it happen, and our customers love them.
Dumpling Masters brought our vision to life. Their team nailed our custom recipe and delivered a product our customers can’t stop ordering.
We needed a partner who could keep up with demand — and Dumpling Masters overdelivered. Consistent quality, every single batch.
From day one, they’ve been proactive, responsive, and focused on quality. Our plant-based line wouldn’t be where it is without them.
We’d gone through two other manufacturers before finding Dumpling Masters — neither could deliver the quality we needed at volume. Susan and her team nailed it on the first run, and we’ve scaled our SKUs by 3X since.
