On the basis of over 20,000 international professional buyers’ opinions, Global Manufacturer Certificate (Short name: GMC), the first comprehensive assessment standard for B2B manufacturers, was developed in 2004 by GlobalMarket. With eight stringent criterions, Group Brand GMC aims at screening out the most excellent Chinese manufacturers with strong capability in various industries, thus significantly reducing the cooperation risks and selection costs of buyers.
Group Brand GMC demonstrates that the premium Chinese manufacturers should possess the following features:
- Certified manufacturers;
- High qualified productivity;
- Considerable company size;
- Expertise team of foreign trade;
- Professional Research and Development ability;
Other reference indexes are also used to reflect the comprehensive export strength of the manufacturer.
GlobalMarket Group (Asia) Ltd. authorizes Intertek to conduct strict document review and on-site audit on Chinese manufacturers. Only the qualified manufacturers can get the Group Brand GMC mark, which is awarded according to the results of GMC Audit.
Group Brand GMC is committed to strengthening the trust and procurement priority of international buyers to Global Market quality manufacturer group. It embodies high-quality brand image of Global Market and creates the certification of Global Market quality customer group. It will have key promotion via a variety of channels, such as domestic and international heavyweight exhibitions, website, sourcing catalogue, etc. which will significantly reduce the cost and time that international professional buyers search for quality Chinese manufacturers, ensuring the quality of international trade.
