From Sharjah to China: Sourcing Sanitary Ware Manufacturers

The brief

A company based in Sharjah, UAE, asked GulfCN to find a Chinese manufacturer of bathroom sanitary ware.

The client needed washbasins, toilets and related fixtures, a look at the product range, and a direct supplier connection for further discussion.

GulfCN researched the Chinese market and reviewed sanitary ware at an industry exhibition in China.

The assignment ended with a relevant Chinese manufacturer identified for the client’s requirements.

The challenge

Sourcing sanitary ware is not a catalogue photo search. The buyer needs the product range, material fit and who actually manufactures it.

For this brief that meant:

• Washbasin designs, dimensions and installation types
• Toilet designs, configurations and flushing systems
• Ceramic quality, surface finishes and colours
• Product dimensions and installation compatibility
• Customization and OEM options
• A manufacturer with relevant production experience
• Technical communication with the supplier

On the ground: sanitary ware in China

The check was on the exhibition floor, not from a listing.

What we checked

• Whether the exhibitor manufactures the products or only resells them
• Washbasin and toilet range against the brief
• Materials, finishes and colours
• Dimensions and installation types
• Whether a direct conversation with the Sharjah client was justified

What GulfCN handled

Manufacturer research. Product range evaluation. Direct supplier communication.

The completed scope is manufacturer sourcing. It does not mean the client placed a production order.
