With approximately a quarter of the world’s industrial production taking place in China, nearly anything can be successfully sourced. However, special attention must be given to the desired level of quality. A wide range of quality levels is often available, typically corresponding to different price points.

China has an overwhelming number of suppliers, many of which can be easily found online. Some of these suppliers are genuine manufacturers, but many operate as trading companies. Due to the lack of export licenses and limited English communication capabilities, many Chinese manufacturers partner with trading companies. However, trading companies may have their own agendas and often switch suppliers to cut costs. The quality among suppliers can vary significantly, making it essential to select one that provides the right combination of service, price, and quality for your needs. Establishing direct contact is often crucial to gradually strengthen the technical aspects of cooperation.

Supplier Evaluation

Scandic Sourcing conducts comprehensive consulting studies, systematically analyzing industries to identify leading companies. We assess suppliers with competent management teams, the right production equipment, clean and organized facilities, effective quality systems, environmentally responsible practices, ethical labor standards, and a commitment to understanding your needs.

Benchmarking

We research a broad pool of suppliers, filtering out the unqualified ones. The qualified suppliers are then benchmarked against agreed criteria to identify the best-fit companies. Our detailed company profiles and shortlists enable you to decide which suppliers to visit, place test orders with, or conduct further evaluations. This approach is especially recommended if you plan to integrate suppliers into your global supply chain.
