Factory Match · first one free

Tell us what you need, and we will find the factory.

A person on our team picks one real Chinese factory we would buy from ourselves, checks its business licence, and sends you its contacts and a dated price guide. Factories never pay us, so the pick is only ever for you.

Use the name on your current quote or specification, because the same chemical is sold under several names.

A CAS number removes any doubt about which substance you mean.

Grade changes both the price and which factories can supply it.

Some factories only take full container orders, so the size shapes the match.

Bags, drums, IBCs and ISO tanks are priced differently at the factory gate.

We check the import rules and duty for that destination alongside the factory.

FOB is the usual starting point when you book your own freight.

Production and shipping from China usually take several weeks, so a date helps us rule out slow factories.

Tell us about any problem with your current supplier, because that is often the most useful thing we can solve.
