Low price is the biggest advantage that attracts European and American companies to purchase forgings from China. Perhaps you can find many forging manufacturers to provide you with quotes, but how to choose a Chinese forging supplier is a difficult problem. Let's discuss how to choose the best Chinese forging supplier.
Here are some major reference factors:
1. Forging quality system
Have you obtained ISO, API, TS16949 certification? Or any other certification? ISO is the basic certification. Qualified qualifications and certifications are a must for excellent forging suppliers.
2. Forging equipment
What kind of forging equipment does the supplier have? In addition to forging equipment, are there processing equipment? Not every forging plant can provide you with processing services. They may only have some forging equipment and provide you with forging blanks, or they must be processed from an outsourced factory. This is not cost-effective. Therefore, if you have processing needs, it is also important to check whether you can process together.
3. Forging capacity
Forging capacity will directly show the strength of the forging plant. For example, Kingrail Parts, our annual production capacity is 10,000 tons. From these data, you will know that we are a large factory. The production capacity of a small forging plant will be much lower.
4. Quality Control
How does the supplier conduct quality control to ensure high-quality forgings? A complete forging quality control system is reflected in raw material procurement, quality inspection of each process, testing equipment, worker skills, etc.
5. Delivery Time
What is the shortest delivery time? The delivery time should be confirmed before placing an order. For some urgently needed forging products, the delivery time is fatal, and any delay may cause huge losses.
