Supplier Qualification
The information overseas purchasing and SQE teams ask for during supplier on-boarding and audits — legal entity, manufacturing footprint, quality system, traceability and problem solving — in one page. Anything not covered here is can be discussed with our team for your specific sourcing program.
Legal Entity
| Legal name | Ningbo Empire Advanced Material Co., Ltd. |

Request the current business license and contracting-entity details during supplier onboarding. Confirm payment instructions directly with your established contact before transferring funds.
Manufacturing Footprint
- ✓Transparent manufacturing model — owned magnet, magnetic-assembly and LTCC production plus qualified long-term strategic bases for precision metal components
- ✓Metal component processes — die casting, forging, CNC machining and investment casting for the metal components family
- ✓Producing site per part number — confirm the production site, process route and applicable certification scope before a purchase order is released
- ✓Site review — discuss on-site or remote assessment, required documents and an agreed schedule with the project team
What Your SQE Will Ask — Answered Up Front
Quality System
Management-system certification records — ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 for automotive programs — with holder, site, scope and original validity periods published on our Quality page. The current certification status applicable to your producing site is confirmed during quotation.
Inspection Planning
Incoming, in-process and final inspection per the agreed plan. AQL levels, critical characteristics and measurement methods are fixed together with your SQE during project launch.
Traceability
Define lot identification, material records and inspection traceability for the part. Record-retention periods and the documents supplied with each shipment are agreed in the project quality plan.
Change Control
Agree the notification and approval process for changes to material, tooling, process or production site. Specify any automotive PPAP or part-submission requirements in the quality agreement.
8D / CAPA
Set the escalation contacts and response requirements before production. Where required by the project, use an 8D or corrective-action process covering containment, root-cause analysis and effectiveness checks.
Export Support
Ningbo-based export coordination with access to Ningbo-Zhoushan Port. Confirm the delivery term, destination, packaging and applicable transport or export documentation in the quotation; magnet shipping requirements depend on the shipment.
Documentation We Can Provide
- ✓Quality agreement — inspection plan, AQL, reaction plans and escalation path agreed in writing
- ✓PPAP / FAI packages — to the level agreed with your SQE, per project
- ✓Compliance declarations — RoHS, REACH, and conflict-minerals reporting (CMRT/EMRT) on request
- ✓Qualification checklist — send your required records so availability and any project-specific preparation can be confirmed

4. Audit (Optional)
On-site or virtual audit at a mutually agreed time.
5. Production Release
Confirm sample approval, supply terms and the applicable quality agreement before series production.
