Is your supplier a real manufacturer or just a trader in a small office? Does the factory actually have the machinery to produce your order? We find out.
We don't just look at documents; we look at the shop floor.
Verifying business licenses, export permits, and bank account details to prevent fraud and ensure legal compliance.
Counting machines (Presses, Polishers), checking daily output rates, and verifying if they outsource critical steps.
Do they have an incoming QC area? Do they calibrate their verniers? We check their internal ISO procedures.
Reviewing samples of previous work. Can they actually make the complex utensil shapes you require?
Many Alibaba suppliers claim to be factories but are actually trading companies. This adds 15-20% to your cost and reduces your control over quality.
MateInspect reveals the truth. We check:
"One client paid a deposit to a 'factory' that turned out to be a small office with a nice website. They disappeared with $15,000. A $299 audit would have saved them."
