How to Successfully Find The Right Machinery Supplier

With China’s rapid development, China has established the most complete supply chain in the world. Having too many suppliers in the same industry provides buyers with more choices, but therefore because there are too many suppliers that also confuses buyers. How to find the right and reliable supplier has become the biggest challenge that buyers must face. China’s vast territory has created huge differences in the characteristics of people in different regions, which leads to very different ways of thinking and behavior and values of people, which in turn affects business behavior. These intangibles cannot be shown on the surface. Foreigners who have little knowledge of Chinese culture think they know China very well, so they often fall into the pitfall and cause losses.

For example, a client consulted us that a customer of them needed to order their finished product in another pressure class. They asked us how to produce another pressure level with their machine. After we studied the client’s machine, which they purchased from China through a foreign sourcing company, we understood the machine is only equipped with a die for one pressure level, and cannot produce other pressure levels at all. They were in a hurry to solve this problem, and the solution we finally gave was to buy another set of dies that were compatible with several pressure levels. In the end, we purchased new dies for them from the original factory. If the agent was professional at the beginning, such a thing would not have happened. The factory also knows that a die can be compatible with several pressure levels, but it needs to increase the machining workload. If the agent does not communicate clearly that the factory would like to do less. This is the result led by the way of thinking and values, and at last, the customer pays more losses for the unprofessional sourcing agent and irresponsible factory.

The case fully demonstrates that a professional sourcing company played an important role in paving the way for your sourcing and make customers feel at ease, efficiency, and save money.

There are too many Chinese suppliers that are world-renowned, but at the same time, there are also many company cancellations every year. According to Hong Kong’s “South China Morning Post” reported yesterday (30^th,12,2021), the data display provided by the business inquiry platform shows that an average of more than 390,000 small and micro enterprises are canceled every month, exceeding last year’s about 370,000. The number of cancellations this year also surpassed the number of newly registered companies after 20 years.

However, too many also bring problems, that is, how to choose, especially for relatively high-value machinery that is different from low-value daily necessities, is a huge challenge. Because there are many suppliers, the levels of many suppliers may be very different, so how to identifying the correct and reliable supplier is a huge challenge. The different visions of many suppliers can lead to huge differences in business models. Different backgrounds of founders can also lead to huge differences in their business models and management models, which are ultimately reflected in products. If the founder is a technical background may be more concerned about the performance of the product.

An example of a big loss, a company went to Russia to participate in a trade show, and a Russian company got a catalog of the company, which advertised the production line of aluminum-plastic composite pipes in the catalog. The Russian company placed an order. Until the company went to Russia to participate in the trade show again, the Russian customer angrily brought substandard products (aluminum foil could not be butt welded) to the trade show to negotiate with this company for this problem, and the result was disappointing. As far as we know, only two suppliers in China have the ability to manufacture qualified aluminum-plastic composite pipe production lines. If Russian friends know about it, there will be no such loss.

Sourcing Products, especially for machinery with high value, from China without a Sourcing Agent with great insight ability, is really facing big risk.
