How to pick the right manufacturer for your business

• Define your target market: Are you supplying Amazon sellers, arcades, family entertainment centres (FECs), malls? The machine size, branding and features will differ.
• Evaluate production capacity: If you need hundreds or thousands of units per year, choose large-scale factories (e.g., Xiyu, Wahlap).
• Consider OEM/ODM vs ready-brand: If you want your own brand, custom graphics and hubs, ensure the supplier supports OEM/ODM.
• Check export & certification readiness: For international markets you'll need CE, UL, RoHS, FCC, etc. Verify supplier documentation.
• After-sales & spare parts: Ask about spare part availability, warranty terms and service networks-especially if deploying globally.
• Logistics & shipping: For overseas buyers, make sure the supplier handles sea freight, customs and global distribution.
• Diversify supplier risk: Don't rely on a single source; consider primary + backup manufacturers.
