AHK Guangzhou Office Opening Ceremony

Many buyers assume that a supplier with wide range of certificates is automatically a safe choice. While certifications such as ISO 9001, BSCI, or CE marking can be important indicators, they do not guarantee consistent quality. BSCI, for example, relates to social compliance, covering areas like working conditions, employee rights, and ethical standards, but it does not assess the quality of the products or the manufacturing processes themselves.

Many companies invest in a detailed supplier audit before starting production, assuming that this one-time check will safeguard quality.While this is a critical first step, relying on it alone is risky. Over time, changes in personnel, processes, and production priorities can have a major impact on the quality you receive. Continuous monitoring ensures you catch these shifts before they affect your products and your customers.

In theory, the goods are ready. The supplier says everything has been packed. The sample looked good. Skipping the final inspection seems like a way to save time and money. But when things go wrong, that decision can become very expensive.

We had the privilege of attending the grand opening of the German Chamber of Commerce (AHK) new office in Guangzhou.As an emerging company in the quality control sector, we are particularly delighted that we, too, as a small yet dedicated SME, are being recognized and actively involved by the Chamber.
