It's undoubt that China has been world factory, it's said that 80% of steel products in the world are produced in China. Every buyer sourcing in China want to buy prodcuts with good quality and lower price. When you sourcing gabion boxes and Reno matressses for your projects, what is the key points you need to consider?　　

1. Communication skills, good communication ability of salesman is very important, but many Chinese sales team speak poor English, this will make a lot of misunderstanding in the future business. Find a factory that really understand you is very important.

2. Understanding of ASTM standard or EN standard. The international standard for gabion products is ASTM A975 or EN 10223, but the fact is many salesman in China factories are English major and they have no idea with these standards and technology at all.

3. Factory management and size. You should understand the size of factory is very important, a small factory only has 2-3 machines maybe have no enough capacity to produce you products. On the hand, a big factory maybe want big order and you must give them big enough order to get their attention. And the management of factory is anpther important point when qualify a factory, although a factory has ISO certification paper, but it doesn't mean they are actually managed as the standard required.  

4. Material supply. It;s obviously that the material quality and price have difference when buy from small low quality factories and big well equiped factories. Especially the galvanized wire, the wire use recycled Zn and new Zn blocks have different performance.

5. Is the price reasonable? Everyone want lower price, but if a factory give you a price of gabion which is lower than the price of wire, do you think it’s reasonable?
