Have you ever heard that many internationally recognized brands have their factories in China?
Find out which of your favorite brands manufacture in China and why they choose this country, in this article.
According to experts, China is no longer just the world’ s factory, but also a source of advanced technologies, a production base for the most sophisticated and high value-added goods and one of the best options for regional headquarters and research and development centers.
Many world-renowned multinationals from different industries choose China to establish their factories, as they consider it to be the best option due to its lower production costs and its large young, qualified workforce with excellent technical skills. It is a fact that the country will continue to produce high-quality, higher-value equipment at more competitive prices.
In China, the transformation and modernization of manufacturing has been promoted, aiming at a higher level of production, not only of consumer goods but also of large equipment. Value added in the high-tech manufacturing sector increased by 9% year-on-year during the first half of last year, the National Bureau of Statistics reported.
The Foreign Investment Law and ongoing financial openness facilitate the deeper reach of multinational companies in the country, and support efforts to attract foreign investment.
Are they good quality, you ask?
It is a myth that Chinese products are of low quality, the truth is that there is a great variety of qualities and products, and the good news is that the decision is yours alone.
It will depend on:
- The indications you give to your suppliers about the products you want to import. The key is to be as specific as possible.
- The budget you have, through which you will be able to access high quality products or some cheaper ones.
- Whether or not you perform exhaustive quality control through factory audits and pre-shipment inspections.
Many of the major brands claim that the quality of their goods is not guaranteed by where it is produced, but by the brand that is responsible for it, by creating the design, choosing the raw materials and rigorous quality controls.
