Ensure you're working with the right supplier in Taiwan
Many importers understand the risks inherent in manufacturing abroad. It’s often difficult to know where manufacturing will actually take place and whether the factory is legitimate without conducting an audit. By auditing the factory, you get an inside look at the facility to verify if you’re working with the right supplier or one you should avoid.
A factory audit in Taiwan can confirm a number of important areas, depending on audit type, including:
- Proper equipment and the production capacity to manufacture your product in the quantities demanded.
- Engineering and design capabilities.
- Quality management systems, typically following ISO 9001 standards.
- Adherence to social compliance or responsible sourcing standards, following any number of brand/retailer frameworks.
- Good manufacturing practices (GMP).
Professional audits are especially helpful for importers at the end of the sourcing process when trying to vet two or more potential suppliers in Taiwan.
An audit gives you the transparency needed to make a more informed decision about which supplier to work with.

What does product inspection involve?
Quality control is the hallmark of any world-class brand. If you want your brand to have that kind of reputation, a product inspection can help you.
Product inspection checks allow you to have the quality of your product verified on-site, at any stage of the manufacturing process. By having these checks carried out before your products are dispatched, you’ll be able to ensure that your manufacturer is producing products you're happy to stand behind.
Essentially, product inspection expertise allows you to prevent ongoing problems that can eat into your profit margins, such as quality issues or supply chain disruption.
A Factory Audit can uncover problems before production so you have an exact understanding of your supplier's capabilities, systems, management and operating procedures. In order to get a clear overview about supplier capability and capacity, ensure that they can provide promising and stable products. our engineers go to supplier facility to have an on site evaluation from the aspects of structure, system, operation and quality, the actual status and advice for customer review, decision and the process afterwards. This is a high level of quality control and will enable you to select a qualified supplier with confidence.

What are the benefits of a product inspection?
By using detailed, specific checklists that we tailor to your needs, you can guarantee that every single potential issue that could occur during manufacturing is checked.
This enables you to completely standardise your quality control, minimising the chance of unforeseen issues occurring. As a result, you can build a reputation as a company that delivers world-class products. What’s more, you can also ensure the quality of your products at source.
Companies that don’t do this risk having to pay for goods of less than stellar quality, which can also eat into your long-term product management.
Product inspections can also help you anticipate any future delays in the manufacturing process. If you conduct large-scale international shipping, delays can cost a huge amount of money.
