Almost all suppliers are from south
& west China and this region includes one municipality and ten provinces.
They are Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong,
Guangxi, Fujian and Hainan.
Currently, there are over 3,000
suppliers' information in this database. It covers almost all major industrial
fields, not only heavy industry, but also light industry.

of various industrial sectors is outlined in the following table:

Necessary information in this
database is divided into three types:
- Basic Information: company name, nature, activity, contact
method, employment, export markets and other general data.
- Production Information: product, material, process,
manufacturing equipment, test facility, major customers, quality management and
environment issues.
- Cooperation Strategy: cooperation method, technical advantage,
trade experience and required assistance.
The
basic functions of this database are:
- The registration and maintenance of enterprises' information
based on detailed questionnaires and surveys.
- The classification of these companies according to a set of
given industrial nomenclatures, such as sector, product and process.
- A search of supplying enterprises according to a specific
inquiry from buyers and contractors.
- Specific matchmaking arrangements between international buyers
and local suppliers.
- Follow up of each matchmaking arrangement.
Different from other suppliers' databases in
China, this database is characterized by three distinct features.
Quantity
In this database, you can find more suppliers with more
detailed information from most of Chinese provinces.Currently, there are 3,000
suppliers and this number will go up to 5,000 by the end of
2007.
Quality
For every supplier, we will make
cautious selection, in depth investigation and complete assessment based on
standard documents and strict procedure.
All these measures guarantee
that only qualified suppliers can enter into this
database.
Expertise
For the identification of
suppliers, we do not entirely rely on this digital database.
In fact, we have a team of
professional engineers devoted to the development of suppliers. They can provide
expertise and technical assistance to the specific request from international
buyers and contractors.
