Purchase Skills | How do I find a factory&manufacturer in China?

Every supplier says that he is a factory, but you can’t come to China and verify them one by one. After reading this article, you will know the answer.

1. View the supplier’s contact address

Shenzhen factories are generally located in remote suburbs, such as Baoan District, Longgang District, Guangming District, and Pingshan District. The addresses of foreign trading companies are generally in urban areas, such as Futian District, Luohu District, and Nanshan District. Because the factory rent in the suburbs is cheaper than in the urban area, the office and production address are generally together. On the contrary, if the office and production address are not together, most of them are foreign trading companies.

2. Through product information

Factories usually focus on products of the same category, such as a date cable factory’s stores have data cables of various specifications, so that they can be determined to be a physical factory.
