MANUFACTURING.
TOP-TIER
THE SAME LINES USED BY LEADING GLOBAL
BRANDS.
We embed our process into partner factories in China. That means reserved capacity, factory‑grade SOPs, and QA you can audit.
Not all factories in China are the same. We only work with top-tier manufacturing plants - the kind that already produce for leading global brands in kitchenware, household goods, and beverages.
Our on-the-ground team operates across South China (Guangdong / Pearl River Delta) and the Zhejiang belt (Hangzhou region), shipping mainly via Guangzhou/Nansha in the south and Ningbo–Zhoushan in the north.
Our role is not to “shop around suppliers”. We embed our process into a small group of factories, secure reserved capacity on their lines, align on quality standards and tooling practices, and then give you access to that ecosystem under a single, audit-ready process.
Partner Factories
Dedicated partner factories across three industrial clusters in China
Guangdong – Metal & Plastics for kitchen & home
Across our Guangdong and Zhejiang footprint, we work with a small network of partner factories.
With these factories, we develop most of the products our customers need, as they are based on the following clusters:
Electrical and digital appliances,
Cutlery, Knives & knife blocks, sharpeners,
Choppers, slicers and graters;
Pots and pans;
Kitchen utensils, accessories and gadgets
Thermoses and vacuum-insulated bottles.
Food storage containers
The tooling, materials and QA systems we use for kitchen & home also translate into adjacent categories, including:
Metalforming: cutting, pressing, deep-drawing, welding,
Injection moulding: TRITAN / PP / ABS / PC, overmoulding, assembly
Surface finishing: polishing, brushing, powder coating, PVD, laser marking
Double-wall stainless steel bodies (304/18-8, 430)
Vacuum creation and leak testing at scale
Powder coating and high-durability finishes
Bending/Forming
Robotic Polishing and brushing
Robotic Welding
Stamping
CNC Machining
Automated/Semi-automated Assembly Lines
Metal Processing
Welding and Joining
Wire Bending and Forming
Laser engraving and branding
Assembly & packing: retail packaging, sets, gift boxes, bulk packs
What “Top-tier’ Actually Means
When we say “top-tier”, we’re not talking about marketing slogans. We mean factories that:
Run documented quality systems (e.g. ISO-style procedures), not just “visual check”.
Have modern equipment and properly maintained moulds, tools and jigs.
Already manufacture for leading global brands in kitchen, home and drinkware.
Are used to third-party audits (BSCI / SMETA, retailer audits, etc.).
Can provide process capability and consistency—not just a nice showroom.
Understand and work regularly with LFGB / FDA / food-contact requirements.
We give you access to the same factories that manufacture for the leading global brands*
Our job is to find and secure those factories, maintain the relationship, and keep the bar high—so you don’t have to test your luck in a long list of suppliers.

Quality Assurance
Quality is a process, not a promise
We don’t leave quality to the last inspection. We define it upfront and apply it throughout the build.
Golden sample as reference
No production without a signed-off golden sample (finish, feel, fit, branding).
Three-point QC plan
IPP (Initial Production Check): set-up, first pieces, process control • DUPRO (During Production): catch issues before they propagate • PSI (Pre-Shipment): final check against golden sample and spec.
AQL-based inspection
Typical plan - Critical: AQL 0.0 • Major: AQL 2.5 • Minor: AQL 4.0. General Inspection Level II, adjusted if your category requires tighter control.
Corrective action
If defects exceed agreed limits, we don’t “hope for the best”. We define rework, reinspection and, if necessary, sorting or remake - before cargo is released.
Testing & Compliance
Testing and compliance for kitchen, home and drinkware
Food-contact & safety
LFGB / FDA migration where applicable - Material certificates, test reports and traceability
Thermal & functional tests
Thermal retention vs. spec - Leak tests, drop tests, lid/closure performance
Finish durability
Adhesion tests for coatings - Corrosion / salt-spray when relevant
Packaging & transport
Basic ISTA-style checks to reduce transit damage - Labelling and regulatory marks for EU/UK/US and LatAm as needed
Tooling, Mould & IP
Tooling, moulds and your IP inside the plant
Your product doesn’t end at the CAD file; it lives in the moulds and fixtures on the factory floor. We manage that deliberately:
Tooling in your name
Moulds and tools are plated and recorded as your property, even if stored in the factory.
Custody and access
Tools remain at the plant under agreed storage and maintenance conditions; we can audit their state.
No third-party use
Your tooling is not to be used for other customers. This is reflected in factory-side agreements and our English-law contracts with you.
Intellectual Property alignment
Our global IP approach (transfer of design rights to you for EUIPO / UK IPO / USPTO or any other intellectual property registry) is mirrored in how we manage tooling and designs in China.
What This Means For you
Choosing BridgeWorks means your products are built in factories that already meet the standards of global brands, under a clear, auditable quality system - without you needing a sourcing office in China or a local engineering team.
You speak to us in your own language; we embed the right standards in the factory. The outcome is simple: fewer surprises, fewer quality problems, and products that are ready for real markets, not just nice samples.
