Active (Linyi) Sports Goods Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Active (Linyi) Sports Goods Co., Ltd. is a China-based sports goods supplier located in Shandong, offering rollable wrestling mats, martial arts mats, grappling mats, and related customizable mat products. The available data indicates a factory area of 4,600+ m² and 20+ staff, suggesting a small-to-medium production setup with basic manufacturing capacity. The supplier is marked as a verified supplier and holds Gold Supplier status for 1 year, but it does not support Trade Assurance, which limits platform-backed transaction protection. Product-side capability is strengthened by labels including Finished Product Inspection, Full Customization, ODM service, and Minor Customization. However, business performance data is weak: past six-month orders, transaction value, and store rating are not provided, and the review count is 0. The supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking customizable wrestling or martial arts mats, but procurement should proceed cautiously due to limited commercial validation.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis:
- Factory area: 4,600+ m²
- Employees: 20+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Location: Shandong, China

Elaboration:
The supplier has a disclosed factory area and staff count, which provides some visibility into its production foundation. A 4,600+ m² facility indicates a tangible manufacturing base, while 20+ employees suggests a relatively lean workforce rather than a large-scale industrial operation. The verified supplier status adds credibility to the existence and basic operational profile of the company.

Scoring Rationale:
The company demonstrates basic production capability and has a verified supplier indicator, but the staff size is relatively small and there is no additional data on production lines, monthly capacity, machinery, or factory audit details. Therefore, it should not be classified as a large-scale stable supply chain. It fits better into the small-to-medium factory category with foundational capability.

Final Score: 13 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis:
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 1 year
- Trade Assurance: False
- Certification / industry labels: Finished product inspection, Full customization, ODM service available, Minor customization
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration:
The supplier has basic platform credibility through Gold Supplier status and verified supplier status. The presence of service and inspection-related labels improves its profile, especially for buyers requiring customized mat products. However, the Gold Supplier history is short at only 1 year, and the absence of Trade Assurance reduces transaction protection and platform-backed risk control.

Scoring Rationale:
The supplier has some essential credibility indicators, but the platform trust structure is incomplete. A 1-year Gold Supplier record is relatively new, and lack of Trade Assurance is a notable limitation for international buyers seeking payment and delivery safeguards. The compliance profile is therefore credible but not strong enough for a high score.

Final Score: 13 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis:
- Past 6-month order quantity: Insufficient Data
- Past 6-month transaction amount: Insufficient Data
- Store rating: Insufficient Data
- Review count: 0

Elaboration:
The available business performance data is very limited. There is no disclosed order volume, transaction amount, or store rating, and the review count is listed as 0. This means there is no clear evidence of recent sales momentum, buyer satisfaction, repeat purchasing, or transaction scale on the platform.

Scoring Rationale:
Because the key commercial validation indicators are missing, the supplier cannot be assessed as having stable or proven market performance. The lack of reviews further weakens buyer confidence, as there is no customer feedback base to support performance claims. This dimension receives a low score due to insufficient commercial proof.

Final Score: 7 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis:
- Communication response time: ≤2h
- Full Customization: Listed
- Minor Customization: Listed
- ODM service available: Listed

Elaboration:
The supplier shows strong service-related labels, including full customization, minor customization, and ODM availability. These indicators are relevant for buyers needing tailored wrestling mats or martial arts mat specifications. The response time of ≤2 hours is reasonably efficient, though it does not reach the highest benchmark of ≤1 hour.

Scoring Rationale:
The supplier appears capable of supporting customized procurement needs, which is a positive service factor. However, because the response time is not within the top-tier threshold and no further data is provided on design support, sampling speed, or project management capability, the score remains in the upper-middle range rather than the maximum range.

Final Score: 8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis:
- On-time delivery rate: 100.0%

Elaboration:
The supplier reports a 100.0% on-time delivery rate. Based strictly on the provided data, this indicates strong delivery reliability. No additional data is available on shipment volume, delivery frequency, or historical order base supporting this percentage.

Scoring Rationale:
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. Since the provided rate is 100.0%, the supplier receives the maximum score in this category. However, buyers should still note that the underlying shipment quantity is not provided.

Final Score: 10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis:
- Store rating: Insufficient Data
- Review count: 0
- Finished Product Inspection: Listed
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration:
The supplier has a Finished Product Inspection label, which indicates some level of quality control process for completed goods. Verified supplier status also supports basic credibility. However, no store rating is provided and the review count is 0, meaning there is no customer feedback evidence to validate product quality, consistency, or after-sales performance.

Scoring Rationale:
The quality assurance profile has some positive indicators, especially Finished Product Inspection, but customer feedback is absent. Without reviews or ratings, quality performance cannot be strongly confirmed from buyer experience. This creates a moderate risk and keeps the score in the lower-middle range.

Final Score: 12 / 20

Total Score

63 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is conditionally recommended for buyers seeking customizable wrestling mats, martial arts mats, grappling mats, or roll-up mat products, especially where ODM or customization support is important. The supplier shows basic factory capability, verified supplier status, customization labels, finished product inspection, and strong reported delivery performance.

However, the main risks are the lack of Trade Assurance, short 1-year Gold Supplier history, missing transaction data, missing store rating, and 0 customer reviews. These gaps limit confidence in commercial reliability and customer-validated quality. For procurement, it is advisable to start with sample orders or small trial batches, confirm specifications clearly, request inspection evidence, and verify production capacity before scaling orders. The supplier has growth potential if it can accumulate transaction history, customer reviews, and stronger platform protection indicators.
