We are celebrating 25 years manufacturing in China for western companies - we cannot  be beaten on experience. These are our recommendations to successfully manufacture in China:

• Quality - Your China manufacturing partner must deliver world-class quality product from state-of-the-art facilities. We do. Many of our customers come to China for cost and stay in China for quality, finding our quality superior to existing product. We also offer cost-effective printing and packaging solutions, improving branding and product packaging for customers.

• ISO 9001 - Your manufacturer in China must offer the familiarity, security and quality delivery of ISO 9001. We do.

• Experience in China - Your partner must be an experienced China manufacturer, specifically for western companies. Phrases such as "we have extensive experience of international business" or "we have sourcing and procurement experience" or "we have combined experience in manufacturing of many years" do not cut the mustard. Manufacturing in China - indigenous experience - is what counts. We have that experience. For example, our English managing director has been running the company from Hong Kong / China since the mid-1980s.

• Proven Track Record - Because there is no way, such as Dun & Bradstreet, to check manufacturers in China, a track record and viability over many years is essential. We have that track record, and our customers include many well-known high-street names.

• Legal Protection - The Chinese legal system is not what you are used to. One way to gain additional protection is to use a China manufacturer registered and incorporated in Hong Kong, where the legal system is based on English common law. We offer that protection.

• Trust - Choose a partner with integrity. We sign Confidentiality Agreements. We protect your intellectual property rights. We have made literally thousands of products over the years and not one has been copied - ever. Some of our customers have been with us over 20 years.

• Communication in English - You must be able to pick up the phone and speak to someone in English in China about your product. With us you can. We have western management on the ground in China whose first language is English.

• Diverse Customer Base - You must be confident your turnkey China manufacturer has experience of a wide range of customers and  has the expertise to adapt to your quality systems and procedures. We have a diverse customer base which includes FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, start-ups and inventors.

• Guanxi Network - Guanxi (business connections, relationships and infrastructure) is central to doing business in China. Guanxi cannot be built overnight, so your China supplier must be well established, experienced, and possess the business network to ensure your China contract manufacturing and subcontract manufacturing is a success. We have, over 25 years, built up a reliable, resourceful and successful network.

• Full Range of China Manufacturing Services - We offer the full service, from Concept and Design, to Pre-Production, Production, Quality, Printing, Packaging,  Sourcing, Shipping & Logistics. For our customers, we are a one-stop China manufacturing solution.
