Now there are a lot of mold suppliers in China and this makes you quite confusing and hard to choose one which you find good and suitable with your company. This is very common for anyone who wants to find a mold supplier in China.
Even though I have no a lot of experience, with hope to assist mold buyers, I am "ventured" to give some of my opinions about this topic (and look forward to hearing your ideas):
1. Supplier's location in China.
A supplier which is near to a port to delivery the products will help you save the cost for transportation. You can refer to this link to get list of ports in China: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ports_in_China
For example, Bluestar Mould Engineering Ltd is located in Shenzhen, so it is very near to Shenzhen port (as you can see in the above list) and the cost for transportation from this company's factory to the port is better than a company in Guangxi, Chongqing (just for example).
2. Industries served.
If you are from an automotive components, you may concern about a supplier which specializes in automotive components. Because this supplier will have experience in automobile industry, understand better what you really want,...
3. Manufacturing company or trading company?
No need to say a lot about this, because it is quite clear that manufacturing company can offer you with a better price than a trading company, and they can manage the production much better.
4. Experience
I think this is very important for a buyer when choosing any supplier (not only with mold supplier). A supplier with 20 year experience in injection mold making will know how to serve you better and its internal system is better than a supplier with 2 year experience, at least with most of cases.
5. Services
- Commit to respond any of your request within a short time (12 hours or 24/7 hours)
- Treat your problems as they treat their ones.
- Offer report of mold producing process (weekly or monthly?)
- Global service? Sales services?
...
6. Factory
How large is the factory of the supplier?
How many machines do the supplier have? Type of them?
How many workers are working in that factory?
How many hours does the factory operate per day? One shift, two shifts or three shifts?
Maybe sometime you also concern about the salary of the workers in the factory.
How about other equipments and facilities in the factory?
....
7. Certificates
Which certificate does the supplier have? Such as, Bluestar Mould Engineering Ltd has: IOS9001, ISO1400, TS16946. It shows that this supplier also concern about the quality of the production and their operation.
8. Capacity
How many molds does the supplier can produce per month? per year? From this, you can know that they can satisfy the quantity which you want or not?
9. Turnover
From the turnover in the current year or even some last years, you will know about the supplier's business result (good or not), then show you know this supplier is reliable or not?
10. Supplier's vision
This will help a buyer know that how does the supplier want to develop? What does the supplier want to be?... If they want to be one of the top ten mold supplier in China, they will have to try their best to serve you, offer you with the best price, the best products, the best services...
Finally, to advertise our company, if you want a reliable mold supplier, you can choose my company: Bluestar Mould Engineering Ldt (or Bluestar Technology (Shenzhen) Ltd.)
