Qingdao Hibong Industrial Technology Co.,Ltd Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Qingdao Hibong Industrial Technology Co.,Ltd is a China-based supplier located in Shandong, with a reported factory area of 11,000+ m² and 80+ staff. The company appears positioned as a medium-scale industrial supplier focused on organic fertilizer-related products, including seaweed extract powder, humic fertilizer, chelated plant-source fertilizer, amino acid liquid fertilizer, and Fe EDDHA fertilizer. Its platform profile shows strong credibility indicators, including 10 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, Finished Product Inspection, Full Customization, ODM availability, and Minor Customization. Business activity shows 10+ orders and CN¥1M+ transaction value over the past six months, indicating active but not high-volume platform performance. The supplier is suitable for buyers seeking verified, customization-capable fertilizer suppliers with responsive communication and strong delivery performance. However, the limited review count creates insufficient customer feedback depth, which should be considered before large-scale procurement.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory area: 11,000+ m²
- Employees: 80+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory province: Shandong, China
- Product scope includes several organic fertilizer-related products

Elaboration
The supplier has a reported production site of more than 11,000 m² and over 80 employees, which indicates a moderate operating scale rather than a small trading-only profile. The presence of multiple fertilizer product listings, including powder, liquid, humic, chelated, and EDDHA-type products, suggests a defined product focus within agricultural input materials. The verified supplier status provides an additional indicator that the company has undergone platform-level verification, although the provided data does not include specific factory audit details, production line count, annual capacity, machinery list, or third-party management system certifications.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates clear basic production capability through factory size, employee count, and verified supplier status. However, the scale is not large enough based on the provided data to classify it as a major large-scale supply chain operator. Because detailed production capacity, equipment, and formal factory certification information are not provided, the score should remain in the medium stable factory range rather than the highest tier.

Final Score
16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 10 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification/industry tags: Finished Product Inspection, Full Customization, ODM service available, Minor Customization

Elaboration
The supplier has a strong platform credibility profile. A 10-year Gold Supplier history indicates long-term platform presence, while Trade Assurance support provides buyers with a transaction protection mechanism. The verified supplier status further strengthens platform reliability. The listed tags also show operational and service-related capability, especially Finished Product Inspection and customization options. However, the provided data does not mention internationally recognized product certifications, export compliance documents, ISO certifications, organic input certifications, or market-specific regulatory approvals.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier meets most core platform credibility indicators: long Gold Supplier tenure, Trade Assurance, verification, and relevant capability tags. These elements support a high credibility score. The score is not a full 20 because compliance data beyond platform verification is insufficient, and no independent product or management certifications are provided.

Final Score
19 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Past 6-month orders: 10+
- Past 6-month transaction value: CN¥1M+
- Store rating: 5.0
- Review count: 1

Elaboration
The supplier has recorded recent transaction activity, with more than 10 orders and over CN¥1M in transaction value in the past six months. This indicates that the supplier is commercially active and has achieved meaningful recent sales value on the platform. The store rating is 5.0, which is positive, but the review count is only 1, making the rating statistically weak as a customer satisfaction indicator. The order volume is also moderate rather than high, so the supplier’s commercial performance is validated but not strongly proven by a large number of buyers.

Scoring Rationale
The CN¥1M+ transaction amount is a positive sign and supports a stable business performance assessment. However, 10+ orders over six months is not a high order volume, and the very limited review count reduces confidence in repeat customer validation. Therefore, the supplier fits the stable medium-performance range rather than the high-performance tier.

Final Score
15 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤1h
- Full Customization: Listed
- ODM service available: Listed
- Minor Customization: Listed

Elaboration
The supplier demonstrates strong service capability based on fast response time and multiple customization-related tags. A response time of one hour or less is highly favorable for procurement communication, especially for quotation clarification, formulation discussion, packaging requirements, and order coordination. Full Customization, ODM availability, and Minor Customization indicate flexibility in buyer-specific requirements. However, the provided data does not include details on languages supported, engineering support, sample lead time, after-sales process, or dedicated account management.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier meets the highest service scoring condition because it combines ≤1h response time with Full Customization capability. ODM and Minor Customization further support a strong service profile. Missing details on after-sales service prevent additional qualitative expansion, but within the defined 10-point dimension, the available data supports a top score.

Final Score
10 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 100.0%

Elaboration
The supplier reports a 100.0% on-time delivery rate, which is the strongest available delivery indicator in the provided dataset. This suggests reliable shipment execution for recorded platform transactions. For procurement purposes, this is a favorable signal, particularly for buyers with seasonal agricultural purchasing schedules or time-sensitive replenishment needs. However, the data does not include average lead time, shipping modes, order sample size, export destinations, or late-shipment dispute history.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring rule, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. Since the reported rate is 100.0%, the supplier earns the maximum score. The score is based strictly on the provided platform delivery metric.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 5.0
- Review count: 1
- Finished Product Inspection: Listed
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory verification/certification details: Insufficient Data beyond verified supplier status

Elaboration
The supplier has a perfect 5.0 store rating, but this rating is based on only 1 review, which limits its reliability as a broad customer feedback indicator. Finished Product Inspection is a positive quality assurance tag and suggests that inspection is available before shipment or completion. Verified supplier status also contributes to baseline trust. However, the dataset does not provide detailed quality certifications, inspection standards, test reports, complaint rates, return rates, or third-party audit documents.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has useful quality assurance indicators, especially Finished Product Inspection and verified supplier status. The 5.0 rating is positive, but the single review prevents classification as a supplier with strong, widely validated customer feedback. As a result, the supplier fits the “good rating with basic quality assurance” range rather than the highest quality-feedback tier.

Final Score
16 / 20

Total Score

86 / 100

• Company Strength: 16 / 20
• Platform & Compliance Credibility: 19 / 20
• Business Performance: 15 / 20
• Service Capability: 10 / 10
• Delivery Performance: 10 / 10
• Quality & Customer Feedback: 16 / 20

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with controlled procurement validation. Qingdao Hibong Industrial Technology Co.,Ltd shows strong platform credibility, fast response capability, customization support, verified supplier status, Finished Product Inspection, and excellent reported delivery performance. It is suitable for buyers seeking organic fertilizer-related products with medium-scale supply capacity, customization needs, and Trade Assurance-backed transactions.

The main risks are the limited customer review base, insufficient detailed production capacity data, and lack of provided independent certification or product compliance documentation. For first-time procurement, buyers should request product specifications, inspection reports, sample testing, certification documents where applicable, and clear contract terms before placing larger orders.

The supplier has growth potential due to its 10-year Gold Supplier history, CN¥1M+ recent transaction value, and strong service indicators, but larger-volume cooperation should be built progressively after quality and compliance verification.
