Factory Inspection & Mill Audit Visits (By Appointment)
Arrange buyer or third-party factory audits by appointment, with an agreed visit scope, document list and site safety requirements.
- Owned production base access for scheduled audits — not walk-in public tours
- Typical tour blocks: rolling/finishing, QA lab, depot heat marks, packing area
- Pair the visit with an RFQ so commercial and technical questions land in one thread

How we work this inquiry

- Record findings, open questions and corrective actions with the buyer or appointed inspector before supplier approval.
- Sample and trial-lot discussions can follow the same visit if production allows.
FAQ
Can international buyers visit the mill?
Yes, by appointment. Send preferred dates, attendee list, and visit scope so security and production schedules can be arranged.
Can SGS or BV attend the factory audit?
Third-party inspectors can be coordinated when scheduled. Provide the agency name and inspection outline in advance.
Is a factory visit required before the first order?
Not always. Many buyers start with complete RFQ documents and remote evidence (certificates, packing photos). Visits are recommended for larger programs or strict QA gates.
