Sourcing & Verification of Suppliers in China

Finding a supplier on Alibaba is not the same as finding a reliable manufacturer. The Chinese market contains genuine producers alongside trading companies, subcontractors, and low-quality assemblers — and they are often indistinguishable from an overseas buyer's desk. We carry out supplier sourcing and on-the-ground verification, identifying manufacturers who have the production capability they claim and the quality systems to deliver consistently.

What is included

• Supplier market research — identifying candidate manufacturers for the required product
• Desk screening — eliminating trading companies and capability mismatches
• Factory audit — on-site visit to verify production equipment, capacity, and quality systems
• Certification verification — confirming quality certificates are genuine and current
• Business registration check — verifying legal entity, ownership, and trading history
• Supplier audit report with findings and recommendation
• Reference checks with existing customers where possible

How the project proceeds

1. Receive the product specification and supplier requirements from the client
2. Conduct desk research and build a shortlist of candidate manufacturers
3. Screen and audit the shortlist; present findings and recommendation to the client
4. Support the client in finalising supplier selection and first order negotiation

Why Infinity

We have been working with Chinese manufacturers for years and know how to read a factory — what to look at, what to ask, and what the answers actually mean. This experience is not replicable from a desk in Dubai.
