Engineering driven contract manufacturing since 2005

20+ years of experience

Since 2005, Bridge to China has built a local organization in China with more than 30 employees, including in-house engineering, quality control and supply chain teams.

Over the years we have focused on complex products, challenging projects and demanding customers, continuously developing our processes and capabilities.

Operating with Western organizational values and extremely low staff turnover, we are able to steadily grow while preserving and strengthening our accumulated experience.

Unlike traditional contract manufacturers that rely on their own factories, Bridge to China operates through a network of more than 120 carefully selected manufacturing partners across China. This allows us to match each project with the most suitable supplier, technology and production setup. The result is broader manufacturing capabilities, scalable capacity and highly competitive production solutions for our customers. Each factory is continuously evaluated based on quality performance, production capability and reliability.

Having audited more than 2500+ factories over the past 20 years, we have developed a strong ability to identify and develop “best-of-breed” suppliers. Our selection process includes technical evaluation of the product and manufacturing requirements, screening of potential suppliers based on capabilities and quality systems, and on-site factory audits conducted by our local team. Together with the selected manufacturing partner we review the design from a manufacturing perspective and validate production through samples and testing before moving into serial production. Throughout the project we maintain continuous follow-up with our suppliers to ensure stable production and consistent quality.

We have built concentrated supplier clusters in the right industrial regions.

Our engineering team works together with client engineers and manufacturing partners to optimize the design for production. Through Design for Manufacture (DFM) we ensure efficient production methods, competitive pricing and consistent quality.

Early engineering involvement often allows significant cost reductions, improved manufacturability and smoother industrialization.

Quality assurance is a central part of our operations. Our local QC team is present on site at the factory and performs regular inspections throughout production as well as final shipment inspections before every delivery. This ensures that each order meets the agreed specifications before leaving the factory.

Through continuous follow up with our suppliers, combined with mandatory on site quality control before shipment, we maintain stable production, consistent quality and long term supplier performance.

Our team in China manages the entire process from supplier selection and tooling development to production planning, inspections and logistics coordination.

By maintaining a strong local presence and direct communication with factories we reduce risks, shorten lead times and ensure efficient cooperation between customers and manufacturers throughout the project.

Our method — from idea to reliable delivery

Every project starts with understanding your needs.
Our engineers, quality technicians and supply chain team manage the full process — from finding the right factory to on-site inspections and logistics.

1. Define & engineer

We review product requirements, materials and manufacturing processes together with the customer. Our engineers perform Design for Manufacture (DFM) to optimize the design for efficient and cost-effective production.

2. Supplier selection & quote

We identify the most suitable suppliers within our network and collect competitive quotations. Factories are evaluated based on capabilities, quality systems and experience with similar products.

3. Prototyping and production ramp-up

Prototypes and tooling are developed together with the selected factory before moving into serial production. Our local team follows production closely through engineering support and on-site quality inspections.

4. Deliver & Support

Before shipment we perform final inspections and coordinate packaging, documentation and logistics to ensure reliable delivery.
