Why Forgeline

China-quality risk, finally off your desk.

Most teams who try direct sourcing eventually get burned. Forgeline holds the contracts, the relationships, the QC, and the liability — so you don't have to.

UK-law contract, EU servers

Your agreement is with Forgeline Ltd. Drawings live on EU-hosted servers. Factories only see what they need to make the part — never your full assembly.

One project manager, your timezone

Every account gets a named engineer working GMT/CET hours. Replies within working hours, no chasing factories on WeChat at midnight.

If it fails, we eat it

Every shipment is CMM-inspected before it leaves Dongguan. If a part fails inspection at your end, we re-make it at our cost, on our timeline.

DDP to your door

We handle customs, duty, VAT and IOSS. You pay one invoice in EUR or GBP and a courier rings your bell. No surprise paperwork.
