A partner chosen for the product

Start with capability.
Then confirm the fit.

Household products require different materials, tooling and production skills. We review the selected partner against the actual product and order, rather than treating every facility as interchangeable.

Product fit

Relevant processes

Review the construction, tooling, surface finish and assembly needed for the item.

  • Material and process suitability
  • Similar production capability
  • Sample and tooling requirements
Order fit

A realistic programme

Discuss quantities, variants and approvals alongside the requested shipment window.

  • MOQ by item and colour
  • Production and packaging dependencies
  • Capacity and timing for the actual order
Buyer fit

The required evidence

Bring vendor onboarding and technical requirements into the review early.

  • Factory details and available documents
  • Requested assessments or visits
  • Inspection and reporting arrangements

One connected project

Factory expertise.
MINKO coordination.

A buyer may need several specialist factories to complete a range. MINKO helps keep product requirements, sample comments, packaging and order milestones connected across the selected partners.

We act as your point of contact for the agreed sourcing and coordination work. Manufacturing partners remain responsible for their production operations; the buyer confirms requirements and approvals through the agreed project process.

  • One coordinated brief and specification set.
  • Clear questions and sample revision records.
  • Agreed milestones for quality and shipment preparation.

Questions before we begin

Clear answers.
A practical next step.

Does MINKO own the factories shown?

No. MINKO is a trading and export company working with independent manufacturing partners. We coordinate product sourcing and the agreed development and order requirements.

Can our team assess the selected factory?

Factory visits, third-party assessments and document review can be discussed for the project. Share your scope and timing so availability and arrangements can be confirmed.

Are all partners covered by the same audits?

No. Documents apply to the named facility and their stated scope. We review available information against the buyer’s requirements for the selected partner.

How are changes of factory, material or process handled?

Changes should be raised against the approved project scope before implementation. The buyer and relevant specialists should review any impact on samples, testing, cost and timing.
