China is the world’s factory, and the third largest economy in the world. Selling into this huge market and obtaining globally competitive pricing on standard and specialty parts are reasons enough for every manufacturer to be in China. And, as a mid-tier manufacturer, you can’t afford to make any mistakes getting there.

Manufacturing in China is not easy; nothing you have accomplished in the West prepares you to deal with the differences in language, cultural and business practices in China. Western companies who think they can compete in China as Western companies will not be successful; Western companies who think and act like Chinese companies have a competitive advantage.

China Business Network employs a unique strategy of identifying, pre-qualifying, and continuously developing indigenous Chinese manufacturing companies as partners for our Western clients. The extensively researched and thoroughly vetted Chinese companies – what we call Strategic Manufacturing Assets – will have baseline capabilities in one or more metalworking disciplines, and a strong commitment to long-term, mutually beneficial personal and business relationships with their Western partner. Interaction between the Western and Chinese companies, carefully guided and nurtured by our Chinese engineers and project managers, are based on relationships rather than transactions and transform the typically adversarial buyer – seller relationship into one of mutual respect, shared vision and demonstrable growth opportunities for both parties.

Unlike equity-based joint ventures, our "win-win" strategy benefits all parties by giving each what they need most for continued success: our Western clients gain non-capital intensive manufacturing capacity, a sustainable cost advantage and access to the vast Chinese industrial market; Chinese partners gain valuable management and technical skills and access to world-wide markets to grow their companies.

China Business Network is the only organization which utilizes this proven, efficient and non-capital intensive strategy for successful mid-tier manufacturing in China.
