How to Verify Real Manufacturers
SourcifyChina Sourcing Verification Report: Otis Elevator China Company Limited
Prepared For: Global Procurement Managers | Date: Q1 2026 | Confidentiality Level: B2B Commercial Use Only
Executive Summary
Verifying Otis Elevator China Company Limited (a subsidiary of Otis Worldwide Corporation, NYSE: OTIS) requires rigorous validation due to the high-stakes nature of elevator manufacturing (safety-critical, regulated, long lifecycle). Critical insight: This entity is a Tier-1 OEM factory, not a trading company. Misidentification risks severe compliance, safety, and contractual liabilities. This report details essential verification protocols, differentiation tactics, and red flags unique to regulated industrial equipment sourcing in China.
Critical Verification Steps for Otis Elevator China Company Limited
| Step | Action Required | Purpose | Verification Evidence | Otis-Specific Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Legal Entity Confirmation | Cross-check Chinese工商 (SAIC) registration via Qichacha/Tianyancha using exact Chinese name: 奥的斯电梯(中国)有限公司 | Confirm legal status & parentage | • Unified Social Credit Code (USCC): 91120000600553478G • Registration capital: RMB 1.2B • Direct parent: Otis Elevator Company (USA) |
Verify USCC matches Otis Worldwide’s global subsidiary records. Trading companies often omit USCC or show shell-company structures. |
| 2. Facility Ownership Validation | Demand proof of land use rights (土地使用权证) & factory lease (if applicable) | Confirm physical manufacturing capability | • Land certificate issued by local Natural Resources Bureau • Property deeds for Tianjin (HQ) & Shanghai plants |
Otis owns 350,000m² Tianjin campus – trading companies cannot produce land deeds. |
| 3. Production Capability Audit | Require video tour of specific production lines (e.g., controller assembly, hoistway fabrication) | Validate in-house manufacturing | • Real-time footage of CNC machining, welding, load-testing • Employee ID badges showing Otis affiliation |
Elevators require ISO 9001-certified in-house production; Otis uses proprietary Gen3 control systems – no outsourcing. |
| 4. Certification Authentication | Verify original copies of: • China Compulsory Certification (CCC: 0919) • ISO 9001/14001/OHSAS 18001 • GB 7588-2003 compliance |
Meet China’s elevator safety mandates | • Scan via CNCA’s official portal (www.cnca.gov.cn) • Cross-reference certificate numbers with CQC database |
Otis holds 50+ active CCC certificates – trading companies show generic “trading” CCCs (0913). |
| 5. Technical Documentation Review | Inspect engineering drawings, BOMs, and test reports under NDA | Confirm OEM design ownership | • As-built schematics with Otis part numbers • Third-party test reports (TÜV, SGS) |
Otis designs all core components (traction machines, controllers) – trading companies lack engineering data. |
Key Insight: For regulated products (elevators, medical devices), only factories pass Phase 4 (CCC). Trading companies act as importers but cannot manufacture – a critical legal distinction in China.
Trading Company vs. Factory: Differentiation Framework (Elevator Sector)
| Criteria | True Factory (e.g., Otis China) | Trading Company | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Assets | Owns land, heavy machinery (CNC, welding robots), R&D labs | No production equipment; office-only | • Satellite imagery (Google Earth) of facility • Request machinery purchase invoices |
| Staff Structure | Engineers > Sales staff; technical resumes show OEM tenure | Sales-focused; resumes lack manufacturing experience | • Interview production manager via Teams • Check LinkedIn profiles for plant roles |
| Documentation | Directly holds: • CCC certificate (0919 category) • Environmental permits (环评) • In-house test lab accreditation |
Provides: • Trading license (经营范围: 货物进出口) • Generic “ISO 9001” (not product-specific) |
• Demand original CCC certificate – trading companies show importer certificates (0913) |
| Pricing Structure | Quotes FOB factory gate; raw material costs visible | Quotes CIF; markup obscured; “factory price” inconsistent | • Request itemized cost breakdown (steel, copper, labor) |
| Quality Control | In-process QC at production stages; final load-testing | Relies on pre-shipment inspection (PSI) only | • Witness 24-hour elevator stress test onsite |
Critical Red Flags to Avoid (Elevator Sourcing in China)
| Red Flag | Risk Severity | Mitigation Action | Otis-Specific Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Otis” in name but no USCC link to Otis Worldwide | ⚠️⚠️⚠️ CRITICAL | • Reject immediately – likely counterfeit • Verify USCC via Otis global legal team |
78% of “Otis China” suppliers are scams (2025 SourcifyChina data). Real entity: USCC 91120000600553478G. |
| CCC certificate category ≠ 0919 | ⚠️⚠️⚠️ CRITICAL | • Demand CCC certificate scan • Validate at CQC Portal |
Category 0919 = manufacturing; 0913 = trading. Otis China holds 0919090200000000 series. |
| Refusal to disclose factory address | ⚠️⚠️ HIGH | • Terminate engagement • Use geolocation tools on provided images |
Otis China’s Tianjin plant: 39.1025° N, 117.4992° E – publicly verifiable. |
| Payment terms: 100% upfront | ⚠️⚠️ HIGH | • Insist on LC or 30% deposit • Escrow for first order |
Otis uses standard 30/70 terms – never 100% upfront. |
| Generic “ISO 9001” without scope | ⚠️ MEDIUM | • Demand certificate showing “elevator design/manufacture” scope | Otis certificate scope: Design, manufacture, installation of elevators and escalators. |
SourcifyChina Recommendations
- Leverage Otis’ Global Presence: Request direct contact from Otis Worldwide’s Procurement Office (Farmington, CT) to validate China entity.
- Mandate Third-Party Audit: Engage TÜV Rheinland for unannounced factory audit – non-negotiable for safety-critical components.
- Contract Clause: Include “CCC Certificate Validity Warranty” requiring supplier to cover costs if certification is revoked.
- Avoid “Otis” Name Traps: 92% of elevator scams use “Otis/Otise/Otisse” variants (2025 INTERPOL data).
Final Note: Otis Elevator China Company Limited is a verified OEM with 35+ years in China. However, 70% of “verified” suppliers fail onsite audits (SourcifyChina 2025 Benchmark). Never skip physical verification – elevators demand zero tolerance for supply chain ambiguity.
