China Manufacturer Portfolio Building
Situation
A regulated infrastructure opportunity required a stronger China-side supplier base: manufacturers that could meet technical, commercial, documentation, and regional execution requirements.
Stakes
The wrong manufacturer would not only weaken pricing. It could damage compliance, delivery credibility, and the ability to pursue future regulated projects.
Actions
- Qualified Chinese manufacturers remotely before direct factory visits
- Mapped product capability against regulated-market requirements
- Negotiated preferential pricing and partnership structure
- Aligned technical documentation, commercial logic, and execution expectations
Result
Created a repeatable manufacturer-development model and converted the first collaboration into more than $1M in project wins.
