Search, Evaluation and Benchmarking

There are endless numbers of "suppliers" in China and it is easy to find "a"supplier on the internet. Some are real manufacturers, but many are trading companies. Because most Chinese manufacturing companies do not have an export license they often work with trading companies. A trading company sometimes has its own agenda.


The quality between Chinese suppliers differs within a very wide range, and it is important to select a supplier offering the right combination of service, price and quality fitting your needs. The ones you meet at exhibitions and who has web sites are usually the most eager ones to catch a foreign customer. However, do you know what is behind a nice web site or a well decorated exhibition booth? Do they really produce the products themselves? Do they have capability to produce what you need? Are the samples representative compared to the daily production? Are there any hidden risks?
