Our supply network

A China-based network of distributors, independent stockists and specialist traders. For every enquiry we check the options available and tell you which channel the material comes from.

Source channels, named on every quote

What you should expect

Franchised distributors

Current parts in stock at authorized distribution

Shortest traceability chain; manufacturer documents usually available

Independent distributors and stockists

Shortages, allocation, small quantities

Inspection agreed per line; documents vary by source

Specialist traders

EOL and hard-to-find parts

Higher risk; laboratory tests often recommended

OEM and EMS excess

Surplus stock from production

Date codes and storage history checked per lot

Factory orders

Long-term or large-volume demand

Factory lead time, MOQ and order multiples apply

Shenzhen and Hong Kong

Shenzhen is where most of the independent component market in China trades and where we receive and inspect material. Hong Kong is where shipments are consolidated for export.

How suppliers are qualified

1. Before the first order

Company registration, trading history and references checked; a trial lot inspected before regular business.

2. On every lot

Incoming inspection to the agreed level; any non-conformity recorded against the supplier.

3. After shipment

Suppliers scored on quality, accuracy of their offers and delivery. Low scores lose access to orders.

Supply network questions

We name the channel on every line. Supplier names are kept confidential, as they are in most of the independent market.

Not as a catalogue. Material is bought for confirmed orders, so every quote reflects current availability.

Yes, if the supplier passes our checks. Inspection is the same as for any independent source.
