Planning two days of factory visits in northern China

At a glance. Confirm production addresses and prioritize meetings by product relevance and travel time.

Context

For an industrial plumbing project, we planned a two-day supplier visit schedule around Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shanxi. The client’s name and exact unit prices are confidential.

What to check

We mapped each location separately and prepared an English and Chinese legend for the driver. Confirm the factory address, who will be there and which operations or products you can see before booking.

Our approach

Ask who manufactures the goods, who issues the quote and what any trading company handles. A formal audit also needs defined scope and criteria. This case documents visit planning.

Frequently asked questions

How can I distinguish a factory from a trading company?

Ask who manufactures, where production takes place and which entity issues the offer. Check that the answers are consistent.

What does Beaver Imports confirm before visiting?

We confirm the production address, on-site contact and products or operations available for review.
