Just by a quick look at the site.... I would guess...... not... but dont take my word for it.... in my opinion a company claiming to be the size it suggests would get the pages proof read by a native English speaker and thereby remover the defects. As a manufacturer the Minimum Order Quantities [MIQ's] seem on the low side to me.... but I may be nit picking...... the site is glossy and professional enough.... but the nits keep picking away

i had contacted this trader last year, i had added them to my msn, and they do not bother me as usually scammers do, this trader only send me each month a price list, with medium prices, not too low, and not too high. I don`t think they are a factory, maybe they are traders. would you do bussiness with this people?

I would have to a lot more research before I invested serious funds with them.... short orders could be a possibility.... but like I said before... it just doesnt feel quite right, the website just does not instill confidence in me... the size they purport to be is not supported by the site they use.... if they are going to invest in a plant size of 3,000 square meters, employ up to 500 people [although this is a little vague] and have a turnover of $5 million..... you would expect a more competent system of checking their site for faults... especially spelling mistakes.
And you would expect them to attend more trade shows than the 2006 show they reported.
This does not prove they are not genuine..... it just makes the nits pick a little more.

would I do business with them...... NO..... on instinct alone.... but perhaps I trust my instincts more than other people would... and I have been known to be wrong
