Shandong Libang Auto Parts Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Shandong Libang Auto Parts Co., Ltd. is a China-based auto parts supplier located in Shandong, with a reported factory area of over 24,000 m² and more than 110 staff. The supplier appears to have a solid mid-sized production foundation, supported by verified supplier status, Gold Supplier membership for 4 years, Trade Assurance, and platform tags including warranty availability, finished product inspection, full customization, and ODM service availability. Its listed products focus on SINOTRUK/HOWO truck spare parts, lamps, and general truck/car parts, with low minimum order quantities of 1 piece or 1 bag, which may suit small-batch buyers, repair-part distributors, and trial procurement needs. However, commercial validation is limited: only 2 orders and CN¥33.8K+ transaction value in the past 6 months, with just 2 reviews despite a 5.0 store rating. Overall, the supplier shows credible operational and platform fundamentals, but buyer-side validation remains relatively weak.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory area: 24,000+ m²
- Staff: 110+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory location: Shandong, China
- Product scope provided: SINOTRUK/HOWO truck spare parts, LED tail light/rear combination lamp, truck and car parts

Elaboration
The supplier has a documented factory scale above 24,000 m² and a workforce exceeding 110 employees. This indicates a production base larger than a small workshop and suggests the company has at least a structured operational setup. The verified supplier status also strengthens the credibility of its physical and organizational presence. However, the provided data does not include annual production capacity, number of production lines, machinery details, warehouse capacity, or export volume, so the full depth of production capability cannot be completely assessed.

Scoring Rationale
The company fits the profile of a medium-sized stable factory rather than a very large-scale supply chain player. Its factory area is meaningful, and the employee count supports basic-to-moderate production capacity. Verified supplier status improves confidence, but the absence of production capacity metrics prevents a higher score in the 18–20 range.

Final Score
16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 4 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification/industry tags: Warranty available, Finished product inspection, Full customization, ODM service available

Elaboration
The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators. A 4-year Gold Supplier history provides a reasonable continuity record, while Trade Assurance gives buyers a platform-supported transaction protection mechanism. Verified supplier status and listed service/inspection tags further improve confidence. The tags include finished product inspection and warranty availability, which are relevant for procurement risk control in auto parts sourcing. However, the data does not mention internationally recognized management or product certifications such as ISO, IATF, CE, or other automotive-sector compliance documents. Therefore, compliance credibility is platform-based rather than fully certification-based.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has the core platform trust elements: Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, and several useful operational tags. The 4-year Gold Supplier record is positive but not long enough to qualify as long-established platform credibility. The absence of specific third-party industrial certifications limits the score from reaching the top band.

Final Score
17 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 2
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥33.8K+
- Store rating: 5.0
- Number of reviews: 2

Elaboration
The supplier has a perfect store rating of 5.0, but this rating is based on only 2 reviews, which is too limited to provide strong statistical confidence. The past 6-month order count is also low at 2 orders, and the disclosed transaction amount of CN¥33.8K+ indicates modest recent platform activity. While the positive rating is encouraging, the low number of transactions and reviews suggests that -visible commercial performance is still limited.

Scoring Rationale
This dimension is constrained by weak transaction evidence. A 5.0 rating is favorable, but with only 2 reviews and 2 recent orders, the commercial validation is not strong enough to support a medium-high score. The supplier demonstrates some sales activity, but not enough volume or buyer feedback to indicate broad market acceptance.

Final Score
11 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤2h
- Full customization: Listed as available
- ODM service: Listed as available

Elaboration
The supplier reports a response time of within 2 hours, which indicates reasonably efficient communication. It also lists full customization and ODM service availability, showing that it may support product adaptation or buyer-specific requirements. However, the data does not provide details on customization workflow, design support, sample lead time, engineering team size, or multilingual sales capability. Therefore, the service capability appears solid but cannot be assessed as top-tier.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier does not meet the strongest service benchmark of response time within 1 hour, but ≤2h remains commercially acceptable. Full customization and ODM availability support a stronger service score. Due to missing details on customization depth and project execution capability, the score is placed in the upper-middle 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, which is excellent according to the provided scoring standard. This suggests that, based on available platform data, the supplier has met committed shipment timelines. However, the interpretation should be balanced against the low recent order count, because only 2 orders were recorded in the past 6 months. The delivery result is strong, but the sample size appears limited.

Scoring Rationale
The scoring standard assigns 9–10 points for an on-time delivery rate above 90%. Since the reported rate is 100.0%, the supplier qualifies for the maximum score. The limited transaction volume is noted as a contextual risk, but the delivery metric itself fully meets the top-band requirement.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 5.0
- Number of reviews: 2
- Finished product inspection: Listed as available
- Verified supplier: True
- Warranty available: Listed as available

Elaboration
The supplier has a 5.0 store rating and indicates finished product inspection and warranty availability, which are positive quality-related signals. Verified supplier status also adds basic credibility to its operational profile. However, the review base is very small, with only 2 reviews, making it difficult to confirm consistent quality performance across multiple buyers or larger order volumes. The data does not include defect rate, return rate, inspection reports, product test results, or automotive quality certifications.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has several quality assurance indicators, especially finished product inspection and warranty availability. The 5.0 rating is positive, but the very low review count prevents a high-confidence conclusion. Because quality systems are partially visible but customer feedback is limited, the supplier fits the “good rating with basic quality control” range rather than the top tier.

Final Score
15 / 20

Total Score

77 / 100

• Company Strength: 16 / 20
• Platform & Compliance Credibility: 17 / 20
• Business Performance: 11 / 20
• Service Capability: 8 / 10
• Delivery Performance: 10 / 10
• Quality & Customer Feedback: 15 / 20

Procurement Recommendation

Shandong Libang Auto Parts Co., Ltd. is recommended for cautious cooperation, especially for small-batch procurement, sample orders, repair-parts sourcing, and buyers seeking SINOTRUK/HOWO-related truck spare parts with low MOQ flexibility. The supplier has a credible factory base, verified supplier status, Trade Assurance, finished product inspection, warranty availability, and customization/ODM service tags.

The main risk is limited commercial validation: only 2 orders, CN¥33.8K+ transaction value, and 2 reviews in the past 6 months. Although the rating and delivery performance are strong, the small transaction and feedback sample size reduces confidence in consistency at larger procurement volumes.

Recommended cooperation approach: start with sample orders or small trial batches, confirm product specifications and warranty terms in writing, request inspection documentation before shipment, and scale order volume only after quality and delivery performance are verified. The supplier shows growth potential due to its factory size, platform credibility, customization capability, and strong on-time delivery rate, but it should not yet be treated as a fully proven high-volume supplier based on the available data.
