Company Identification Services

Mekong Research uses the database to help clients identify suitable investment and outsourcing partners. It is also an effective tool for companies seeking to find manufacturers of specific products.

As part of its company and product identification services, Mekong Research creates a initial list of all potential partners/suppliers. It then conducts preliminary due diligence to establish a shortlist of qualified manufacturers. This process yields information on:

 

  Address/telephone/email
  Key contacts within organization
  Number of employees
  Key product lines
  Number of factories in operation and capacity
  Number and types of machinery used
  Quality control and certifications
  Number of years in operation
  Ownership structure (private, state-owned, joint-venture, foreign-owned)
  Major customers or export markets
  Existing partnerships or outsourcing contracts

With a list of qualified manufacturers in hand, Mekong Research delivers samples and counter-samples, obtains quotations and arranges factory visits.

The final output is data and analysis that enables companies to make a purchasing or outsourcing decision, and implementation of systems to ensure successful partnerships.
