Find & vet a manufacturer

Find a manufacturer you can trust.

Choosing the wrong factory is expensive and slow to unwind. We help you shortlist, audit and
qualify manufacturers in China and Vietnam, or do the whole thing for you.

25+ years · China and Vietnam · Offices in the US, EU and Ningbo · NDA on every project · 1M+ products shipped

Five checks before you commit.

Finding a supplier is the easy part. Making sure they deliver the right quality, on time, at the agreed price is
where most sourcing goes wrong. We manage that gap for you.

Verify the business licence and export history

Audit the factory in person or by video

Order samples and run a quality inspection

Confirm capacity, lead times and who owns the tooling

Check references and past work

The cheapest quote is rarely the best.

Most problems come from trading companies posing as factories, loose quality control, and suppliers quietly
swapping materials. A partner on the ground removes those risks before they cost you a batch.

Customer case

148 components. 72 suppliers. 6 countries. Delivered on time.

The challenge

A consumer product company needed to move from concept to large-scale production — building a complete manufacturing assembly line in Asia from scratch, across a highly complex, multi-component product, while meeting tight deadlines.

Our approach

We sourced and coordinated suppliers across six countries, managing tooling, component production, assembly, and logistics end to end. Every supplier was selected, vetted, and managed by our team — the client had one point of contact throughout.

The results

A robust, scalable supply chain integrated across multiple manufacturing regions, delivered on time and ready to meet growing demand.

Frequently asked questions about finding & vetting a manufacturer

Q1: How do you find a manufacturer in China?

Define your product and specifications, shortlist manufacturers with the right capability, verify each one, order samples, and run quality control before scaling. We can do this for you or guide you through it..

Q2: How do you tell a factory from a trading company?

A factory makes the product; a trading company resells goods from factories it does not own. We confirm which you are dealing with through licence checks and an on-site audit, so you know who actually builds your product.

Q3: Should I manufacture in China or Vietnam?

China has the deeper component ecosystem; Vietnam can offer lower labour costs and tariff advantages for some products. We build in both and advise on the split based on your product, volume and target market.

Q4: How do you protect my design and IP?

We sign an NDA on every project, work only with vetted suppliers, and limit who sees your files. Our entities are registered in Sweden and the US.
