In response to restrictions that overseas buyers were subject to China, FSC plans to edit the electronic version of the "China’s Casting Guide", which included more than 1,200 suppliers from our database, produced a bilingual version, increased the push to cover more overseas manufacturing companies, and helped them with casting sourcing. Moreover, for overseas buyers who don’t have the ability to purchase directly from the factory or cannot effectively manage their suppliers, FSC can help this type of companies to ensure the smooth domestic procurement of overseas projects through cooperation with partners to establish a supply chain management.
