How to Verify Real Manufacturers
Professional B2B Sourcing Report 2026
Prepared for: Global Procurement Managers
Subject: Critical Steps to Verify a Chair Manufacturer in China
Author: Senior Sourcing Consultant, SourcifyChina
Date: April 2026
Executive Summary
Sourcing furniture—particularly chairs—from China remains a strategic advantage for global procurement teams due to cost efficiency and manufacturing scale. However, misidentifying suppliers as factories when they are trading companies, or partnering with unverified manufacturers, can lead to quality failures, supply chain disruptions, and compliance risks.
This report outlines a structured verification process to identify authentic chair manufacturers in China, differentiate them from trading companies, and highlights key red flags to avoid during supplier selection.
1. Critical Steps to Verify a Chair Manufacturer in China
| Step | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Conduct Initial Background Check | Use platforms like Alibaba, Made-in-China, or Global Sources to shortlist suppliers. Cross-reference company names with official Chinese business registries (e.g., National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System). |
| 2 | Request Business License & Factory Address | Ask for a scanned copy of the business license (营业执照) and verify the registered address. Confirm if it matches a manufacturing facility. |
| 3 | Request On-Site Factory Audit (Virtual or Physical) | Schedule a live video audit via Zoom/Teams or hire a third-party inspection company (e.g., SGS, QIMA) to verify production lines, machinery, workforce, and raw material sourcing. |
| 4 | Evaluate Production Capacity & Equipment | Confirm if the factory has woodworking/metalworking lines, CNC machines, molding, upholstery stations, and quality control labs. Request machine lists and production workflow documentation. |
| 5 | Review Certifications | Verify ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), FSC (wood sourcing), BIFMA/EN 1335 (ergonomic chairs), and fire safety certifications (e.g., CA117, BS 5852). |
| 6 | Request Client References & Order History | Ask for 2–3 verifiable past clients (preferably Western brands). Conduct reference checks on delivery timelines, quality, and compliance. |
| 7 | Order a Pre-Production Sample | Test materials, craftsmanship, and functionality. Confirm that the sample is produced in-house, not outsourced. |
| 8 | Perform Third-Party Inspection (Pre-Shipment) | Engage an independent inspector to verify batch quality, packaging, labeling, and compliance before shipment. |
2. How to Distinguish Between a Trading Company and a Factory
| Indicator | Factory (Manufacturer) | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Business License Scope | Lists “manufacturing,” “production,” or specific chair types (e.g., “office chair manufacturing”) | Lists “trading,” “import/export,” or “sales” only |
| Facility Ownership | Owns or leases a physical factory with production lines | No physical production site; may only have an office |
| Workforce | Employs in-house engineers, machine operators, QC staff | Employs sales, logistics, and sourcing agents |
| Production Control | Can provide real-time production updates, line photos, and machine logs | Relies on subcontractors; limited visibility into production |
| Pricing Structure | Offers MOQs based on machine capacity; pricing tied to material + labor + overhead | May have higher margins; pricing less transparent |
| Customization Capability | Offers mold/tooling development, material sourcing, and structural design support | Limited to catalog items or minor modifications |
| Communication Depth | Technical team available to discuss materials, engineering, durability | Sales-focused; limited technical expertise |
Tip: Factories often have lower MOQs for customization and better cost control. Trading companies may offer convenience but add markup and reduce traceability.
3. Red Flags to Avoid When Sourcing Chair Manufacturers
| Red Flag | Risk | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unwillingness to Conduct a Factory Video Audit | High likelihood of being a trading company or unqualified supplier | Disqualify or require third-party inspection |
| No Physical Address or Vague Location | Possible shell company or fraud | Use Google Earth, Baidu Maps, or hire local verification |
| Inconsistent or Overly Polished Marketing Materials | May indicate copycat content from real factories | Request original product photos and videos |
| No Certification Documentation | Risk of non-compliance with EU, US, or CA safety standards | Require valid, up-to-date certificates |
| Extremely Low Pricing vs. Market Rate | Indicates substandard materials, labor exploitation, or hidden costs | Benchmark against industry averages; audit quality |
| Pressure to Pay 100% Upfront | High fraud risk | Insist on 30% deposit, 70% before shipment |
| Lack of English-Speaking Technical Staff | Communication gaps in quality control and design | Require access to engineering team during production |
| No Experience with Export Compliance (e.g., FDA, CARB, REACH) | Risk of customs rejection or recalls | Confirm familiarity with destination market regulations |
4. Best Practices for Long-Term Supplier Management
- Start with a Trial Order: Begin with a small container (e.g., 1×20’ FCL) to assess performance.
- Sign a Formal Manufacturing Agreement: Include IP protection, quality clauses, and audit rights.
- Implement a Supplier Scorecard: Track on-time delivery, defect rate, communication, and compliance.
- Rotate Audits Annually: Maintain continuous improvement and compliance oversight.
Conclusion
Identifying a genuine chair manufacturer in China requires due diligence beyond online profiles. By systematically verifying legal status, production capability, and operational transparency—and actively distinguishing factories from intermediaries—procurement managers can mitigate risk, ensure product quality, and build resilient supply chains.
