How to Verify Real Manufacturers
SourcifyChina B2B Sourcing Report 2026
Prepared for: Global Procurement Managers
Subject: Critical Steps to Verify Manufacturers for ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) Companies in China
Executive Summary
As global retail digitization accelerates, demand for Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) continues to rise. China remains the dominant manufacturing hub for ESL technology, hosting both genuine factories and trading companies. For procurement managers, distinguishing between authentic manufacturers and intermediaries is critical to securing cost efficiency, quality control, and supply chain transparency. This report outlines a structured verification process, key differentiators between factories and trading companies, and red flags to avoid when sourcing ESLs from China.
1. Critical Steps to Verify an ESL Manufacturer in China
| Step | Action | Purpose | Verification Tools/Methods |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Request Business License & Scope | Confirm legal entity and authorized manufacturing activities | – Official copy of Business License (via Alibaba, Made-in-China, or direct request) – Verify scope includes “manufacturing” of electronic products, PCB assembly, or display systems |
| 2 | Conduct On-Site or Remote Factory Audit | Validate physical production capabilities | – Schedule video audit via Teams/Zoom with plant tour – Request live walkthrough of SMT lines, testing labs, and packaging areas – Use third-party inspection firms (e.g., SGS, TÜV, QIMA) for in-person audits |
| 3 | Review Equipment & Production Capacity | Assess technical capability and scalability | – Request list of key machinery (e.g., SMT machines, reflow ovens, AOI) – Confirm monthly output capacity (e.g., 50K–500K units/month) – Ask for production floor plan |
| 4 | Evaluate R&D and Engineering Team | Ensure technical support and customization capability | – Request org chart of engineering team – Review patents, certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001) – Ask for sample test reports (EMC, ESD, drop test) |
| 5 | Assess Supply Chain & Component Sourcing | Verify vertical integration and BOM control | – Require BOM (Bill of Materials) with key ICs (e.g., e-Paper driver, MCU) – Confirm partnerships with tier-1 suppliers (e.g., Pervasive Displays, Good Display) |
| 6 | Check Export History & Client References | Validate international compliance and reliability | – Request 3–5 export client references (preferably in EU/US) – Ask for shipping documents (e.g., BL, COO) – Verify past shipments via customs data (Panjiva, ImportGenius) |
| 7 | Review Quality Management System | Ensure consistent product quality | – Audit QC process: Incoming inspection → In-process → Final → Burn-in test – Request FAI (First Article Inspection) and CPK data |
2. How to Distinguish Between a Trading Company and a Factory
| Criterion | Genuine Factory | Trading Company | Detection Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business License Scope | Lists “manufacturing,” “production,” or “assembly” | Lists “trading,” “import/export,” or “distribution” only | Cross-check license with China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System |
| Facility Ownership | Owns or leases factory premises; shows machinery under company name | No machinery; may subcontract to multiple OEMs | Request lease agreement or utility bills; verify via site audit |
| Production Control | Directly controls SMT, testing, and packaging lines | Relies on third-party factories; limited process visibility | Ask for real-time production schedule and line supervisors’ contact |
| Pricing Structure | Offers FOB pricing with detailed cost breakdown (PCB, e-Paper, labor) | Quotes higher margins; vague on BOM or labor costs | Request itemized quote; compare with market benchmarks |
| R&D Capability | Has in-house engineers; can modify firmware/hardware | Limited to catalog-based offerings; redirects technical queries | Request firmware SDK or PCB layout sample |
| Lead Time Control | Direct control over production timeline (e.g., 30–45 days) | Longer lead times due to coordination with OEMs | Ask for Gantt chart or production planning tool |
| Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) | Lower MOQs (e.g., 1K–5K units) due to direct capacity | Higher MOQs (e.g., 10K+) to cover supplier commitments | Negotiate pilot batch; assess flexibility |
Note: Some hybrid models exist—“factory-traders” operate a factory but also trade for others. Prioritize full-factory ownership for mission-critical ESL programs.
3. Red Flags to Avoid When Sourcing ESLs from China
| Red Flag | Risk | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unwillingness to conduct a factory video audit | High likelihood of being a trading company or shell entity | Suspend engagement until remote audit is completed |
| No product certifications (CE, FCC, RoHS) | Non-compliance with EU/US regulations; risk of customs rejection | Require test reports from accredited labs (e.g., SGS, TÜV) |
| Generic product photos or stock images | Lack of proprietary design or production | Request real-time photos with date stamp or batch number |
| Pressure to pay 100% upfront | High fraud risk | Insist on 30% deposit, 70% against BL copy; use secure payment (LC or Escrow) |
| Inconsistent technical responses | Lack of engineering expertise | Conduct technical interview with assigned project manager |
| No NDA or IP protection agreement | Risk of design theft | Require signed NDA before sharing specifications; register IP in China via agent |
| Overly competitive pricing (20%+ below market) | Use of counterfeit ICs, recycled materials, or hidden costs | Audit BOM and conduct sample destructive testing |
| No English-speaking QC or project manager | Communication breakdowns and quality issues | Require dedicated bilingual project lead with technical background |
4. Best Practices for Procurement Managers
- Use Verified Platforms: Source via Alibaba Gold Suppliers, Made-in-China Verified, or HKTDC with third-party validation.
