Factory Audit

Why do I need a factory audit :

Factory Audit (FA) can uncover problems before production or order confirmation. You can have a clear understanding of your supplier's capabilities, quality control system, management and operating procedures. This enables you to select a qualified supplier with confidence.

Don't get in a bind working with the wrong factory, or paying a down payment to a company that you know little to nothing about. Set a strong foundation for your business by building business relationships with the right suppliers. QGS team will work with you by providing you with reliable information before you begin your next import project from China.
