Hengshui Jiaer Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Supplier Evaluation Report: Hengshui Jiaer Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd.

Executive Summary

Hengshui Jiaer Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Hebei, with available product listings focused on metal hose and flexible connector products, including stainless steel metal hoses, flange-type flexible connectors, and NPT male compressor-related hose items. The supplier shows a moderate level of platform credibility, supported by Gold Supplier status for 3 years, Trade Assurance availability, verified supplier status, and customization-related service labels including Full Customization, Minor Customization, and ODM service availability. Business performance appears relatively active, with 100+ orders and CN¥946.5K+ transaction value over the past six months. However, key production-scale indicators such as factory area and employee count are not provided, which limits assessment of manufacturing capacity. The supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking flexible hose products with low MOQ options and platform-backed transaction protection, while larger-volume or highly regulated procurement should further verify production scale, quality systems, and inspection capabilities before placing major orders.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Country/region: China, Hebei Province
- Factory area: Insufficient Data
- Number of employees: Insufficient Data
- Verified supplier: True
- Product scope shown: metal hose, stainless steel flexible hose, flange-type flexible connector, NPT male compressor-related hose products

Elaboration
The supplier has a clearly identified manufacturing location in Hebei, China, and is marked as a verified supplier. The listed products indicate a specialization around flexible hose and connector-related categories, which suggests a focused rather than broadly diversified product offering. Some listed products have low minimum order quantities, such as 1 meter for several hose products, which may support trial orders or small-batch purchasing. However, the absence of factory area and employee count creates a significant limitation in evaluating production scale, workforce capacity, and ability to support large-volume or urgent orders.

Scoring Rationale
Because the supplier has verified supplier status and a defined product category, it demonstrates basic operational credibility. However, the lack of factory area and employee data prevents confirmation of whether it is a large-scale, medium-scale, or small-scale manufacturer. Therefore, it should not be rated in the upper bands for company strength. The score reflects a supplier with basic verified manufacturing credibility but insufficient evidence of production scale.

Final Score: 12 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 3 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification/industry labels: Warranty available, ODM service available, Full customization, Minor customization

Elaboration
The supplier has several core platform credibility indicators, including Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. A 3-year Gold Supplier history provides some platform continuity, though it is not long enough to be considered a long-established track record. The presence of warranty and customization labels adds commercial credibility, especially for buyers requiring order protection and tailored product adjustments. However, no specific third-party management system certifications, product compliance certificates, or industry-standard certifications are provided in the dataset.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier meets important platform-level credibility requirements: Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, and verification. These factors support safer transaction execution and reduce basic counterparty risk. However, the Gold Supplier duration is moderate rather than long, and the available labels are service/commercial indicators rather than formal technical or compliance certifications. This supports a solid but not top-tier score.

Final Score: 16 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past six months: 100+
- Transaction value in past six months: CN¥946.5K+
- Store rating: 4.6
- Review count: 20+

Elaboration
The supplier has recorded more than 100 orders over the past six months, indicating active marketplace demand. The transaction value of CN¥946.5K+ suggests meaningful commercial activity rather than only small test orders. A store rating of 4.6 is generally positive, although not exceptionally high. The review count of 20+ provides some customer feedback base, but it is still limited compared with suppliers that have accumulated large volumes of reviews.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier demonstrates stable recent commercial activity through both order quantity and transaction value. The 100+ order count and nearly CN¥1 million transaction amount over six months support a mid-to-upper business performance assessment. However, the 4.6 rating and 20+ reviews indicate that customer validation exists but is not extensive enough to support the highest score range. The score reflects active but not fully mature marketplace performance.

Final Score: 16 / 20

4. Service Capability

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

Elaboration
The supplier reports a response time of within two hours, which is acceptable and indicates relatively responsive communication, though it does not meet the strongest benchmark of response within one hour. The availability of Full Customization, Minor Customization, and ODM service suggests that the supplier can support more than standard off-the-shelf purchasing. This is valuable for buyers requiring dimensional adjustments, product adaptation, or private-label/modified solutions. Warranty availability also supports after-sales confidence, although no warranty terms are provided.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has a good service profile because it combines relatively fast response time with multiple customization labels. Since the response time is ≤2h rather than ≤1h, it falls slightly below the highest service-performance tier. The lack of detailed customization cases, engineering capability data, or warranty terms also prevents a perfect score.

Final Score: 8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 91.0%

Elaboration
The supplier’s reported on-time delivery rate is 91.0%, which is above the 90% threshold. This indicates generally reliable delivery execution based on the available platform data. For procurement planning, this level of performance is suitable for standard orders where moderate schedule reliability is required. However, the data does not include lead times, shipment volume, logistics methods, or performance by product category, so delivery reliability should still be confirmed for large or time-sensitive orders.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring framework, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for the 9–10 point range. Since the rate is only slightly above 90%, it earns a strong but not maximum score. The score reflects good delivery performance while acknowledging that the margin above the threshold is limited.

Final Score: 9 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.6
- Review count: 20+
- Verified supplier: True
- Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data
- Factory Verification: Insufficient Data beyond verified supplier status

Elaboration
The supplier has a store rating of 4.6 and more than 20 reviews, which provides a basic customer feedback record. The rating is positive, though not at the highest level. The review count is sufficient to show some market validation but remains relatively limited for a strong quality-confidence assessment. Verified supplier status supports basic credibility, but the dataset does not provide evidence of Finished Product Inspection, formal factory verification details, product testing processes, or quality management certifications.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier shows acceptable customer feedback and basic verification support, but the available quality assurance data is incomplete. A 4.6 rating is reasonably good, yet the review base is not large, and there is no confirmed Finished Product Inspection information. Therefore, the supplier should be rated in the mid range rather than the high-quality assurance range.

Final Score: 13 / 20

Total Score

74 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Hengshui Jiaer Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd. is conditionally recommended for cooperation, especially for buyers seeking metal hose and flexible connector products with low MOQ options, customization availability, and Trade Assurance protection. The supplier appears suitable for small to medium-sized buyers, trial orders, maintenance-parts procurement, customized hose requirements, and buyers that value platform-backed transaction security.

The main risks are insufficient production-scale transparency, limited quality-system information, and a relatively small review base. Factory area, employee count, Finished Product Inspection availability, formal factory verification details, and product compliance certifications are not provided, so these should be confirmed before large-volume, safety-critical, or technically demanding procurement.

The supplier’s growth potential is supported by active recent transactions, 100+ six-month orders, CN¥946.5K+ transaction value, customization labels, and a 91.0% on-time delivery rate. For initial cooperation, a sample order or small pilot order is recommended before scaling to larger purchase volumes.
