Recently, we had a client from the Netherlands at our factory. During our conversation, he mentioned that he initially searched for suppliers on Alibaba.com. However, he discovered that Chang’an Dongguan in Guangdong, China, was a place where he could find real factories. He wanted to collaborate only with reliable and capable magnetic clasp suppliers, so he flew to China specifically for this purpose.
I believe many people looking for magnetic clasp suppliers might start with online procurement platforms like Alibaba or Made-in-China. While you can indeed find genuine magnetic clasp factories there, it often requires a lot of time to communicate, select, and verify to ensure that the potential partners are actual factories.
You might be aware that many online shops are actually trading companies. They work closely with factories and can present themselves as factories when doing business with you.
If you only want to find real factories, we recommend following the example of our Dutch client by visiting Guangdong, Dongguan in person—this area produces 90% of the world’s stainless steel jewelry.
Specifically, the town of Chang’an in Dongguan is home to many stainless steel magnetic clasp factories. A place you must visit is the “Chang’an Trade Square,” where many magnetic clasp factories have set up direct sales shops catering to wholesale and retail customers. For instance, our company, Kaiming Stainless Steel Jewelry Co., Ltd., also has a physical store there.
Here, you can negotiate business deals with them or ask for a tour of their factories, as the factories are usually nearby, making everything very convenient.
How to Get to the Magnetic Clasp Production Area in China
Chang’an Town in Dongguan, Guangdong, is very close to Shenzhen, China. You can first fly to Shenzhen Bao’an Airport, then take the subway to Songgang or Bitou stations. Once you arrive, finding accommodation is easy.
Songgang or Bitou are very close to Chang’an Town, and it takes at most half an hour by taxi to reach Chang’an Trade Square.
In summary, by visiting the physical stores of magnetic clasp suppliers here, you can connect with real factories. Every year, many domestic and international traders, wholesalers, and retailers come here for bulk purchases.
