Overseas buyers search in English. Many capable plants still answer with a Chinese brochure, an incomplete model list and a WeChat ID. KanBeng gives factories a structured English record and a reviewed path into buyer RFQs. It is not a yellow-page dump and it is not a certificate mill.
- Application
- Chinese form at /zh/join, reviewed by the data desk.
- Basic record
- Identity, location, families, source-pending profile.
- Commercial rule
- Placement can be sold. Evidence labels cannot.
Basic listing
A basic record is the minimum honest English page: legal name, city, core pump families, and a source-pending label until documents are reviewed. That is already more useful to a foreign buyer than an untranslated homepage with rotating product shots.
- Company identity and location.
- Core pump families mapped to the public taxonomy.
- Source-pending public profile until evidence is complete.
Enhanced data profile
An enhanced profile expands testing, materials, export markets and indexed model records, and can route more relevant inquiries. Sponsored placement, if used, is disclosed. It never controls evidence status and never removes sourcing caveats from model pages.
- Expanded capability and testing fields.
- Document review workflow.
- More indexed model records and inquiry routing.
- Sponsored placement is disclosed and never controls evidence status.
What to prepare before you apply
Have a clear English name that matches the business license, a plant address, the families you actually manufacture rather than everything you can trade, and files you are willing to let a reviewer inspect: license, selected certificates with scope and expiry, and a catalog with dated performance data. Do not upload unrelated personal documents.
Questions buyers actually ask
Is a basic listing paid?
The public application is the onboarding path. Commercial profile upgrades are separate and cannot purchase a verified label.
Must we already export?
No. Many indexed plants are export-capable rather than export-established. Stated markets are labelled as claims until evidenced.
Can traders apply?
KanBeng is built for manufacturing capability. Trading companies without a plant record will not be presented as factories.
How long does review take?
Incomplete files wait. Complete identity and family information is typically reviewed within two working days; evidence upgrades take longer.
