Hello,

Im trying to find some good fasteners suppliers for different categories in China, I need suppliers for all fasteners categories with good prices and products, but the search has been kind of difficult because there are so many but with not enough information. Can you help me finding some good suppliers?

Best Regards :)

If your are talking bulk, containers, your best bet is to find a broker.
I would not try to direct import.
 
Alixa,

Can you clarify the following:

1. Where will the fasteners be installed/used (USA, Europe, PRC, etc.)?
2. Do you specifically need fasteners from China (PRC) or is Taiwan (ROC) also a possibility?
3. What is the end use, e.g. Automotive, Medical, Aerospace, General Industry, etc.?

If fasteners are for either Automotive or Aerospace, then I do not agree that going through a broker is a good option. Does your company currently purchase fasteners? If so, do they have operations in China/Taiwan? Large fastener suppliers like Acument (formerly Textron Fastening Systems) have multiple locations around the world including China.
 
The ones that you personally audit are the ones to trust.
I am with TVP on this. If this is something that is critical then you should only buy from one of the major international producers. I would never use brokered bolts.

I recommend you talk to a good fastener distributor who can work with a wholesale fastener distributor/importer in the U.S. There are some very reputable fastener importers who understand where to source for a variety of fasteners and similar products and understand the necessary specifications and requirements to convey to such sources. If the application is automotive, there are many very good manufacturers in Taiwan and a few in China.

There are many brokers located in China and Taiwan. While there are some good brokers, going direct to a broker can be risky. You still have to handle the customs documentation. Additionally, if there is a problem with the parts, you might not get much help from the broker. Most will also require payment at time of shipment.

Most important is to clearly define the specifications and requirements.
 
about the questions that TVP asked:

1. The use for this fasteners will be for latin america, we are distributors for central america but we need to find new suppliers who can give us good quality and good prices.
2. The supplier can be from China or Taiwan there is no problem about it.
3. The use will be general industry, sometimes our clients request nuts for automovile but not often, usually this fasteners are not for too complicated uses.

Hope you can recomend a good company, because we are plannig to travel to china and meet new suppliers with good quality and prices, but has been kind of difficult to find good ones besides the ones we already have.

Best Regards :)
