Unless a Brand manufactures their own product, they need a reliable supplier.
What options are available to Amazon Sellers who are in search of a supplier? Read on to learn about the Manufacturer Central program and how it solves supply issues for Brand Owners.
What is Manufacturer Central?
Manufacturer Central is a by invitation only program available to Brand Owners within Seller Central which helps partner with a trusted manufacturer. Some of the benefits of joining Manufacturer Central are:
- Allows you to find a supplier through their global network of Amazon-recommended manufacturers.
- Compare pricing by getting quotes from different manufacturers.
- Create more unique products by working with more capable suppliers and get a head start on exploring the newest products and trends.
- Receive Quality Control from Third Party Inspectors
Some of the manufacturers include Best Corporate Private Limited, Eastman exports, Casablanca Apparels pvt ltd, and LA10.
What problems are resolved by joining Manufacturer Central?
Selling on Amazon comes with higher standards than almost any other marketplace. Amazon has very strict rules put in place for the products sold on their marketplace. If you're a seasoned Seller, then you’re probably aware of how quick Amazon is to require an appeal on a product they deem as defective, unsafe, or incorrect. Which then puts you in a position where you must provide several documents such as certifications, safety tests, expiration date information, and so on. Finding a supplier through Manufacturer Central would put you in a better spot than relying on a supplier who is unfamiliar with Amazon and their policies.
Who could benefit from Manufacturer Central?
Brand owners who need a manufacturer to create their products could benefit greatly from joining Manufacturer Central. Currently, the program is by invite only. However, you can send inquiries to [email protected] if you are interested.
