Anyone can find a factory.
The work is proving they can deliver what is promised.
We help UK manufacturing and engineering companies find suitable suppliers in India, qualify them through in-person factory visits, supervise the production of the first few materials, and document everything from start to finish.
On-Site Factory Qualification
We audit physical machinery, calibration, and safety systems in person before approving any supplier.
Production Approval & Dossier
We supervise the first production batch, verify 100% critical dimensions (FAIR), and hand over the complete proof.
Our 7-step qualification framework.
From drawing analysis to on-site visits, initial material runs, and complete handover.
Find: Requirements-led supplier discovery
We match your 2D drawings, tolerances, material grades, and batch volumes directly with proven machine shops in India’s specialized industrial hubs.
Key Deliverables:
- Drawing and tolerance analysis (2D & 3D CAD)
- Machine capacity pre-match against spindle & press envelope
- Targeted cluster shortlisting (Pune, Rajkot, Coimbatore, Chennai)
Audit: In-person factory visits & shop-floor inspection
We visit the factory floor in person. We inspect active machines, operator setups, and raw material storage firsthand.
Key Deliverables:
- Physical on-site inspection of running machines and setups
- Preventative maintenance and machine age review
- Raw material storage and scrap segregation audit
Qualify: Capability, quality, and safety checks
Our focus is verifying that the supplier can actually deliver what is promised before you commit to production.
Key Deliverables:
- Achievable tolerance and machine capability checks
- Traceable digital gauge and CMM calibration verification
- Workplace safety, machine guarding, and housekeeping review
Develop: Closing procedural and setup gaps
Where a factory needs alignment with UK expectations, we work with their management to put standard operating procedures in place.
Key Deliverables:
- Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) formalization
- In-process inspection log and sign-off templates
- Material heat-number and mill certificate traceability setup
Validate: First-article inspection & sign-off
The supplier produces initial samples. We verify critical dimensions against your drawings and check mill test certificates before authorizing production.
Key Deliverables:
- 100% Critical dimension check on first-article samples
- Direct mill test certificate (MTC 3.1) verification
- Written First Article Inspection (FAI) approval sign-off
Launch: Getting started on initial production materials
We supervise the start of production for your first few materials on the shop floor to ensure setups and cycle times remain consistent.
Key Deliverables:
- On-site production line setup check and tooling sign-off
- Initial material run dimensional consistency check
- Process stability and cycle time confirmation
Document: Full documentation shared from start to finish
We document everything from start to finish and hand over the complete dossier. You get full transparency and direct contact with the verified supplier.
Key Deliverables:
- Full factory audit and safety compliance report
- First-article metrology and mill test certificates
- Direct supplier contact details and technical handover pack
What we require from Indian suppliers.
Before any factory is introduced to a UK client, they must meet our baseline standards.
