CORE SERVICE / SUPPLIER & PARTNER DISCOVERY IN CHINA
Identify suppliers and technology partners that fit your application, commercial requirements and next stage of evaluation.
The business question
A directory result rarely tells you whether a company has the right process, engineering capability, production role or willingness to work with your project. We organize the search around these questions.
What we do
Define the search criteria; map relevant companies; check public records and company materials; compare capabilities and unresolved questions; coordinate initial clarification where agreed.
What we need from you
Product or component description, intended use, key specifications, process or material requirements, expected volumes, target region, quality requirements and the decision you need to make. Confidential drawings can be shared after an appropriate confidentiality arrangement.
What you receive
A supplier comparison, source links, technical-fit notes, company role, evidence gaps and prioritized follow-up questions. The agreed scope determines whether supplier outreach and initial meeting coordination are included.
Timing & commissioning
Share your brief to receive a scoped proposal. Research timing depends on the product, search depth, candidate responsiveness and any translation or specialist input; the proposal states the schedule and review points.
Independent specialists
Laboratory tests, certifications and formal inspections are performed by appropriately qualified independent providers when commissioned. Discovery research does not certify a supplier or guarantee product quality.
This example shows the structure of a deliverable, not a list of vetted suppliers. Project reports include the actual sources and agreed checks.
