We decide based on a series of parameters, buyer’s profile, internal processes and experience. Factories are best when you need direct production capacity, equipment, quality systems, and repeatable output. Workshops are useful for flexible, smaller-scale, or specialist processes. Trading companies are considered when the project requires supplier coordination, mixed capabilities, or easier export handling.
