Today's China Manufacturers

When the owner of Global Trade first visited China in 1986, most of the Chinese people - men and women alike - wore blue or gray Mao suits. There were no Western chain hotels. At a stay in one of the local hotels, the owner discovered that hot water was available one hour a day. The manufacturers in China reflected a country that was still rising from the ashes of the oppressive Mao era. Old machinery and equipment, rugged working conditions, unreliable communication, and constant shipment delays were the norm. Their industrial base was small as were the product offerings.

Today, China boasts one of the world's most vast industrial bases. Industrial and commercial products of every kind can now be imported. Apple's Ipod, Dell's Computers, Nike's footwear, and many other products are made in China. What isn't being made now, can be developed. Many manufacturing companies boast late model, computer run U.S. or European made equipment. Communication services are up to date with the rest of the world, and delivery times are many times better than that of the manufacturing companies of 1986.

Our affiliate offices in China provide immediate access to thousands of reliable China manufacturers; we work with most products made from metal, plastic, wood, stone, ceramic, glass, nylon or leather. We can source existing products for you from a China manufacturer who is making the same product now, or get custom products made to your specification. We need either a print or sample of the part to proceed with a factory search; from there, our people in China will conduct a search for the right China manufacturer. View products we source.
