About FactoryChecks

Built by an engineer who has stood on these factory floors.

Our Mission

Eliminate information asymmetry

Procurement teams deserve accurate, verified information about the factories they're considering. We built FactoryChecks to be the platform we wished existed when sourcing manufacturing partners.

We built FactoryChecks because we couldn't find the tool we needed when sourcing manufacturing partners. Trade directories listed thousands of companies with unverified, self-reported data. We decided to fix that by doing what no directory does: sending engineers to the factories.

Our principles

  • 01

    Trust > Volume

    We'd rather have 50 verified factories than 50,000 unverified listings.

  • 02

    Evidence > Claims

    Nothing is marked verified unless we've checked it ourselves.

  • 03

    Transparency > Badges

    Every profile shows exactly what was checked, not just a checkmark.

  • 04

    Buyer Intent Captured

    Every contact attempt is logged — this protects suppliers too.
