How to Verify Real Manufacturers

Professional B2B Sourcing Report 2026
Prepared for: Global Procurement Managers
Subject: Due Diligence Protocol for Selecting a China Aluminum Coil Manufacturer
Executive Summary
As global demand for aluminum coil intensifies across industries—construction, automotive, HVAC, and packaging—ensuring supply chain integrity is paramount. China remains the world’s largest producer of aluminum coil, accounting for over 60% of global output. However, the market includes a mix of authentic manufacturers and trading companies misrepresenting themselves as factories. This report outlines a structured due diligence framework to verify legitimacy, distinguish between factory and trading entities, and identify critical red flags when sourcing from China.
Critical Steps to Verify a China Aluminum Coil Factory
| Step | Action | Purpose | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Request Factory Registration Documents | Confirm legal status and manufacturing authorization | Verify business license (营业执照) via China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (www.gsxt.gov.cn). Cross-check registered address and scope of operations. |
| 2 | Conduct On-Site or Remote Factory Audit | Validate physical production capabilities | Schedule an on-site visit or a live video audit using platforms like Zoom. Confirm presence of casting lines, hot/cold rolling mills, annealing furnaces, slitting lines, and quality control labs. |
| 3 | Review Equipment List & Production Capacity | Assess technical capability and output volume | Request detailed equipment list (e.g., Caster type, rolling mill specifications, coil weight capacity). Verify alignment with your order volume (e.g., 1,000–5,000 MT/month). |
| 4 | Analyze Product Certifications | Ensure compliance with international standards | Confirm ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949 (if automotive), and material test reports (MTRs) per ASTM B209, GB/T 3880. |
| 5 | Validate Export History & Client References | Assess reliability and global trade experience | Request 3–5 export references (preferably in your region). Verify shipment records via third-party platforms (e.g., ImportGenius, Panjiva). |
| 6 | Perform Sample Testing | Confirm material quality and consistency | Obtain production samples; conduct third-party testing (e.g., SGS, TÜV) for alloy composition, tensile strength, thickness tolerance, and surface finish. |
| 7 | Audit Supply Chain & Raw Material Sourcing | Mitigate risk of sub-tier supplier issues | Confirm ownership of or contract with primary aluminum suppliers (e.g., Chalco, China Hongqiao). Verify in-house alloy preparation (DC casting). |
How to Distinguish Between a Trading Company and a Genuine Factory
| Indicator | Genuine Factory | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Company Name & Branding | Often includes “Co., Ltd.”, “Industrial”, or “Manufacturing”; may have a registered brand (e.g., “AluMax”). | Generic names (e.g., “Global Metals”, “Asia Sourcing Co.”); rarely owns a brand. |
| Website & Content | Features factory photos, production lines, R&D labs, and technical team. Detailed process descriptions (casting, rolling, annealing). | Stock images, product catalogs only, minimal technical detail. Focus on “supplier” or “exporter” language. |
| Address & Facilities | Specific industrial zone address (e.g., Dongguan, Foshan, Henan). Satellite view shows large facility with cranes, storage yards, and loading docks. | Office buildings or mixed-use spaces. No visible production infrastructure. |
| Pricing & MOQ | Transparent cost breakdown (aluminum premium, processing fee). Lower MOQs possible for standard alloys. | Prices often bundled; higher MOQs due to margin stacking. |
| Response to Technical Queries | Engineers or production managers can discuss rolling parameters, annealing cycles, or alloy customization. | Sales reps unable to explain metallurgical specs or process controls. |
| Export Documentation | Bills of lading list factory as shipper/manufacturer. Factory address appears on certificates of origin. | Trading company listed as exporter; no direct production link in docs. |
Pro Tip: Request the factory’s VAT invoice template. Factories issue VAT invoices with manufacturing codes; traders typically do not.
Red Flags to Avoid When Sourcing from China
| Red Flag | Risk Implication | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| No verifiable physical address or refusal to conduct video audit | High likelihood of trading front or fraudulent entity. | Disqualify immediately. Use Google Earth and Baidu Maps to verify site activity. |
| Inconsistent alloy specifications or lack of MTRs | Risk of substandard or counterfeit material. | Require third-party testing before order placement. |
| Unrealistically low pricing (<15% below market) | Indicates cost-cutting (e.g., scrap-heavy alloys, thinner gauges). | Benchmark against SHFE aluminum prices + processing premiums. |
| Pressure for large upfront payments (e.g., 100% TT) | Common tactic among non-manufacturers with limited capital. | Insist on secure payment terms (e.g., 30% deposit, 70% against BL copy via LC or Escrow). |
| Generic product photos or stock images | Suggests lack of proprietary production. | Request time-stamped photos of your order in production. |
| No response to requests for equipment list or certifications | Indicates lack of infrastructure or compliance. | Include certification requirements in RFQ. |
| Use of personal bank accounts for transactions | Illegal in China for corporate trade; high fraud risk. | Require payments only to the company’s official bank account. |
Best Practices for Risk Mitigation
- Engage a Local Sourcing Agent: Partner with a third-party verification firm (e.g., SourcifyChina, QIMA) for audits and compliance checks.
- Use Trade Assurance Platforms: Leverage Alibaba Trade Assurance or Escrow services for first-time orders.
- Implement a Phased Sourcing Strategy: Start with a trial order (1–2 containers), then scale after quality validation.
- Include Penalties in Contract: Define liquidated damages for non-compliance, delays, or quality deviations.
- Monitor Post-Production: Use GPS container tracking and pre-shipment inspections (PSI) for every shipment.
Conclusion
Selecting a reliable aluminum coil manufacturer in China requires rigorous verification beyond surface-level engagement. By systematically validating factory status, distinguishing genuine producers from intermediaries, and heeding red flags, procurement managers can secure high-quality, cost-effective supply while minimizing operational and reputational risks. In 2026, with rising scrutiny on ESG and supply chain transparency, due diligence is not optional—it is a competitive imperative.
