The website discusses the five simple, but essential rules that we consider responsible for our 21 years of success in the China manufacturing market:

1. China Experience - your China factory must have experience of manufacturing in China. Phrases such as '10 years' experience of international business' or '20 years importing and logistics experience' or 'we are new so we are keener' simply are not good enough. Actual experience of manufacturing in China is what counts.

2. How To Get Legal Protection - the Chinese legal system is not the same as what you may be used to. One way to secure peace of mind is to use a China manufacturer whose head office is registered in Hong Kong, where the legal system is based on English common law.

3. ISO - your China manufacturer must offer the security and familiarity of ISO 9000. ISO 9000 is a set of standards for quality management systems. ISO 9000 is maintained by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization and is administered by accreditation and certification bodies.

4.Track Record - your manufacturer must have been manufacturing in China for at least 10 years. A track record is vital.

5. Access in English - your manufacturer must have management in China whose first language is English. It is essential you are able to pick up the telephone and speak directly to someone in English about your Made in China product.
