Luoyang Shibo Precision Bearing Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Luoyang Shibo Precision Bearing Co., Ltd. is a China-based bearing supplier located in Henan, with a reported factory area of 920+ sqm and 10+ staff. The company appears to be a small-scale but operationally verified supplier, supported by Gold Supplier status for 3 years, Trade Assurance, and supplier verification. Its listed products focus on bearing-related items, including high-temperature bearings, thrust bearings, and deep groove ball bearings, with low minimum order quantities ranging from 2 to 50 pieces. Commercial performance shows 30+ orders and CN¥67.6K+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 5.0 store rating, though the review base is limited to 4 reviews. Service and delivery indicators are positive, with response time within 2 hours and 100.0% on-time delivery. Overall, this supplier is more suitable for small to medium buyers, sample-based procurement, or low-MOQ bearing sourcing rather than large-scale programs requiring strong factory capacity evidence.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Henan, China
- Factory area: 920+ sqm
- Employees: 10+ staff
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has disclosed basic factory scale information, including physical factory area and employee count. A 920+ sqm facility and 10+ employees indicate a relatively small production organization rather than a large-scale manufacturing base. The presence of verified supplier status provides some credibility that the company has passed a level of supplier verification, but the provided data does not include detailed production lines, annual capacity, machinery count, export volume, or factory audit reports.

Scoring Rationale
The company has sufficient indicators to confirm basic operational capability, but the scale is limited. The factory area and staff size do not support classification as a medium or large-scale stable supply chain. Verification improves confidence, yet the lack of detailed production capacity data limits the strength assessment. Therefore, the supplier fits the category of a small factory with basic production capability.

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 tags: Warranty available, Finished product inspection, Response time ≤2h, On-time delivery 100.0%

Elaboration
The supplier has several platform credibility indicators, including Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. The 3-year Gold Supplier record shows a certain level of platform continuity, though it is not long enough to be considered highly established. The presence of platform tags such as Finished Product Inspection and Warranty Available strengthens basic compliance and buyer protection visibility.

Scoring Rationale
Platform credibility is relatively solid because the supplier combines Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, and supplier verification. However, the Gold Supplier history is moderate at 3 years, and no additional third-party management system certifications or factory audit details are provided. This supports a positive but not top-tier compliance score.

Final Score
16 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 30+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥67.6K+
- Store rating: 5.0
- Number of reviews: 4

Elaboration
The supplier has recorded recent transaction activity, with more than 30 orders and over CN¥67.6K in transaction value during the past six months. The 5.0 store rating is positive, but the review count is only 4, which limits the statistical reliability of the rating. The order volume suggests active sales, but the transaction amount remains moderate.

Scoring Rationale
Business performance is validated but not strong enough to be classified as high-volume or highly proven. The supplier has active orders and a good rating, yet the low review count and moderate transaction value reduce confidence in broad market acceptance. The data supports stable small-to-medium commercial activity rather than high-scale business performance.

Final Score
14 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤2h
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time of within 2 hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency and a reasonably responsive service process. However, the provided data does not confirm whether the company supports Full Customization, OEM, ODM, private label, drawing-based production, or other advanced customization services.

Scoring Rationale
The response time is positive, but it does not meet the strongest benchmark of response within 1 hour. In addition, customization capability cannot be confirmed from the available data. As a result, the supplier demonstrates normal service responsiveness, but its broader service capability remains partially unverified.

Final Score
7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 100.0%

Elaboration
The supplier reports a 100.0% on-time delivery rate, which is a strong delivery performance indicator. This suggests that, based on the available platform data, the supplier has been able to meet committed shipment schedules.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9 to 10 points. Since the reported rate is 100.0%, the supplier receives the maximum score in this dimension. However, the data does not provide shipment volume or order complexity behind this delivery rate.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 5.0
- Number of reviews: 4
- Finished Product Inspection: Listed
- Verified supplier: True
- Warranty available: Listed

Elaboration
The supplier has a perfect 5.0 store rating and platform tags indicating Finished Product Inspection and warranty availability. These are positive quality assurance indicators. However, the number of reviews is only 4, which means the customer feedback base is limited and may not fully represent long-term quality consistency across larger order volumes.

Scoring Rationale
The quality profile is favorable but not fully proven. Finished Product Inspection and verified supplier status support basic quality assurance, while the 5.0 rating is positive. The main limitation is the very small number of reviews, which reduces confidence in the breadth and reliability of customer feedback. Therefore, the supplier is scored as having good basic quality indicators, but not enough feedback volume for a top-tier rating.

Final Score
15 / 20

Total Score

74 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is conditionally recommended. Luoyang Shibo Precision Bearing Co., Ltd. is suitable for buyers seeking low-MOQ bearing products, sample orders, small-batch procurement, or initial supplier testing through Trade Assurance. The supplier shows positive platform credibility, verified status, finished product inspection, strong on-time delivery, and responsive communication.

The main risks are limited factory scale, small employee base, modest six-month transaction value, and only 4 customer reviews. These factors make it less suitable for large-volume or long-term strategic procurement without further verification.

Recommended buyer actions include requesting product specifications, inspection standards, production capacity details, and sample validation before placing larger orders. The supplier has growth potential if it can demonstrate stronger transaction volume, more customer feedback, and clearer production capacity documentation.
