China is the fourth largest country in the world and has a population that exceeds 1.3 billion. Its industrial growth makes it the foremost producer for a huge variety of commodities, including a large percentage of the world's manufacture for bicycles, air conditioning, toys, TVs and PCs, digital cameras and mobile phones. Exports are growing at a rapid rate, providing anything from tea, textiles and garments to machinery and equipment and it is well known as one of the leading providers of technical parts in the world.



Many companies from overseas are now sourcing products from China as awareness grows that the country can more than provide quality goods at lower costs. More recently, the chance to source in China has grown to embrace particularly high-tech products, as well as technical parts and other complex areas, such as those used in cars and machinery.

Forming long term relationships with Chinese manufacturers, sourcing companies are able to build up extensive networks and use their contacts to agree positive terms and conditions they can then pass onto the customer in discounted prices. These companies are becoming world leaders in technical parts sourcing by employing experienced purchase engineers and accessing specially selected suppliers; as their purchasing power increases it enables them to offer the quality assurance and technical support required by their customers. By selecting a few good factories, the company can rely on their suppliers and their positive relationship allows them to place orders for their customers at prices and terms that would not be accepted if they were to approach the supplier themselves. Whatever the size of the order placed, the same advantages as a large order are given.

Companies choose to base their factories in the industrial areas of China as it proves cost effective. Sourcing from China means that costs can be kept down as labour costs within the country are low. There are millions of people living in China so labour remains cheap, but also many of the population are graduates so the number of educated and motivated professionals available for work in knowledgeable areas increases yearly. Due to the low manual labour cost, costs for parts and assembly can also be maintained at lower prices, the upshot being that the entire production infrastructure of machinery and tools, are all affordable. China is well known for generating many university graduates qualified as engineers, many more even than the US produces.

As manufacture and production takes place in China, communication has to be high priority to ensure everything runs smoothly, there is no point discovering a problem once the product has been made and shipped to the customer. Sourcing companies will have clear guidelines in place and offer a high level of technical support. They are able to offer technical expertise, liaison in a European country with support before and after the purchases, quality assurances, competitive prices and delivery. Established companies have many years worth of valuable experience, a long standing partnership with a factory in the industrial sector of China and an understanding in how to deal with the organisation and people there. The company should undertake regular and strict factory auditing and have a strong quality team.
