Manufacturing capabilities

From machine park to material certificate.

We identify, qualify and evaluate Chinese manufacturing capabilities for European industrial SMEs. Each of the ten areas below has a full deep-dive page in the German version of this site — applications, materials and standards, machine-park requirements, quality documentation, regional clusters, cost levers and typical mistakes.

The pattern from practice

Capacity is everywhere in China. Competence — the factory that produces your drawing at the required level, documented — has to be identified, visited and evaluated. That is the entire business of this platform.
