Chinese suppliers are known for their quantity and cost performance. But to select a suitable supplier in China, you definitely need a strategy with abundant knowledge and homework. Below are some practical tips to help you find the suitable Chinese supplier.


Plan on spending at least a month identifying your best manufacturing partner, and several more months finalizing designs, fabricating molds and beginning the manufacturing process.

It can be daunting to start with nothing when you are trying to establish relationships leading to a successful manufacturing partnership. At first, any manufacturer you find seems like your only hope. That’s why we recommend starting out by building a list of 10 suppliers with whom you can communicate directly.

Building a large list helps to reduce the feeling of scarcity as you develop relationships and negotiate with the most promising manufacturers.

2. Do some preliminary Internet research to further develop your category system towards your specific needs. 

Create a data table to help you record the search result, so the job can be done more efficiently and effectively. The table should include columns like company name, contact information, business scale and scope, category check boxes (important), and notes.

The first 100 results would be the most relevant websites related to the product of your concern. You can also find your competitors' information and develop a better sense of market segment and marketing channels.

How to make sure they are reliable or not? Use a company investigation tool:

4. Use trustworthy B2B websites or popular business directory websites to obtain very structured information for Chinese suppliers.

Famous B2B websites providing valid information of hundreds of thousands of suppliers are great choices. Be sure to use local ones, as you can contact Chinese suppliers on these websites and get quick responses. The directory websites are also excellent resources to obtain industrial knowledge.
