Question 1

Are you a factory or a trading company?

Accepted Answer

We're a trading company, and here's exactly what that buys you. Bags and soft goods are made at Fujian Hi-Tech Zone Youlian Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. — 5,000 m² in Fujian with its own design team and pattern makers. Goalkeeper gloves come from Probest Sporting Goods (Yangzhou) Co., Ltd., a glove specialist in Jiangsu, because latex glove production and cut-and-sew bag production are different trades and no single plant does both well. Both have built for China's domestic market for years and neither exports. AITradePath is the export side for both: your spec to their pattern makers, our inspection on their floor, our documents, our freight. We don’t own machines and we won’t pretend to — what we own is the part that gets your order out of China and onto your dock. And before you ask whether you could skip us: there is no cheaper version of this to go find. Neither factory exports. Going around us doesn’t get you a better price, it gets you no shipment — they can’t issue the documents, quote FOB or run the freight.

Question 2

Can I visit the factory?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we'd rather you did — that invitation is the whole point of naming them. We don't own these plants, we work in them, so there is nothing for us to hide behind. Tell us when you're in China and we'll take you to either floor. Third-party audits are welcome on the same terms.

Question 3

What's the smallest order you'll take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 300–500 pcs per style, varying by product. We're flexible on first orders — tell us what you're testing and we'll work with it.

Question 4

Can you match a sample I already have?

Accepted Answer

Send it or send photos with measurements. The factory works from your reference, your materials spec and your logo.

Question 5

How do I know quality is consistent?

Accepted Answer

Every order is inspected in-house before it ships — not spot-checked. On certification, straight answer: both factories build for China’s domestic market and work to GB standards, so we hold no EN certificates today. If your market needs one, tell us the standard and we quote third-party testing with the order.

Question 6

How long have you been doing this?

Accepted Answer

Straight answer: AITradePath was founded in 2024, so we are the new part. The factory is not — the factory has been building sports goods since 2015, with R&D, pattern making, production and wholesale in one building. You are buying their eleven years of manufacturing and our export handling, and we would rather you knew exactly which is which.

Specialist factories.
Built for your brand.
