Section 05

Quality & manufacturing

Quality control is run by VIPO’s own employed staff, not appointed agents — verifying production and packaging at the factory, against specification, before anything is loaded.

05 Origin control
6–10 QC inspectors employed at any one time

A quality manager is permanently based in China, supported by a team of inspectors working across the factory base. Because VIPO employs its inspectors directly and holds the factory relationships itself, there are no buying agents in the chain.

  • Own quality manager permanently resident in China
  • Employed inspectors — no third-party inspection agency
  • Direct factory relationships, no buying agents in the chain
  • Product developed to VIPO design and packaging specification
  • Inspection against specification before container loading
  • Export documentation and certificates of origin handled in-house
  • USD purchasing and settlement throughout
05.1 Supplier base

VIPO produces principally in China, with additional manufacturing in India and Brazil and in the European Union as product and market require. Long tenure with the same factories underpins pricing, production priority in constrained periods, and the ability to develop product to VIPO’s own specification.

Opportunistic

VIPO supplies large-volume buyers, retail sheds and wholesalers. Customers are served on a programme basis: ranges are designed for the market, committed to a production run, and re-run to a repeating cycle. Because buyers take full-container volumes, product ships FOB direct rather than through intermediate distribution.
