Shandong Weilong Auto Parts Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Shandong Weilong Auto Parts Co., Ltd. is a China-based automotive wiper blade supplier located in Shandong, with a reported factory area of 5,000+ m² and 70+ staff. The company appears to be a mid-sized manufacturer with verified supplier status, Gold Supplier membership for 6 years, Trade Assurance support, and strong delivery performance indicated by a 97.5% on-time delivery rate. Its listed products focus on universal, frameless, hybrid, and natural rubber wiper blades, with relatively low MOQs ranging from 100 to 1,000 pieces, making it potentially suitable for wholesalers, distributors, and buyers seeking flexible order quantities. Business activity is moderate to solid, with 60+ orders and CN¥2.9M+ transaction value over the past six months. However, review volume is limited at 10+, and there is insufficient data on Full Customization, Finished Product Inspection, and formal factory certifications beyond verified supplier status. Overall, this supplier shows credible platform-backed trading capability and strong delivery reliability, but quality assurance depth should be further verified before large-scale procurement.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Shandong, China
- Factory area: 5,000+ m²
- Employees: 70+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Product focus: automotive wiper blades, including hybrid, frameless, universal, and natural rubber wiper blade products

Elaboration
The supplier has a reported production site of over 5,000 m² and more than 70 employees, which indicates a mid-sized manufacturing operation rather than a small trading-only setup. The product portfolio is concentrated around wiper blade categories, suggesting a focused production and sales direction within automotive aftermarket parts. Verified supplier status provides some level of platform-backed confirmation, but the available data does not include detailed factory audit reports, annual production capacity, production line count, equipment list, or specific factory management certifications.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates a reasonable manufacturing base with factory space, staff scale, and verified supplier status. However, the available size indicators are not large enough to classify it as a large-scale supply chain, and there is insufficient data on production capacity, factory certification, or audit depth. Therefore, it fits best within the “medium stable factory” range.

Final Score
15 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 6 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification / industry tags provided: “On-time delivery 97.5%”, “Response time ≤1h”
- Insufficient Data: formal compliance certifications are not provided in the platform certification section

Elaboration
The supplier has a 6-year Gold Supplier history, which provides a meaningful platform credibility record. Trade Assurance support also improves buyer protection during transactions. Verified supplier status further strengthens platform trust. However, the provided certification or industry tag field mainly contains performance indicators rather than formal compliance certifications. Although some product titles mention “IATF 16949,” the provided structured certification data does not confirm an actual IATF 16949 certificate, so it cannot be treated as verified compliance evidence.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has several important credibility signals: 6 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance, and verified supplier status. These are strong platform-level indicators. The score is not placed in the highest range because the certification label data is incomplete and does not provide confirmed factory or management system certificates.

Final Score
17 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 60+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥2.9M+
- Store rating: 4.7
- Review count: 10+

Elaboration
The supplier shows active recent commercial performance, with more than 60 orders and over CN¥2.9M in transaction value during the past six months. This indicates a functioning sales pipeline and some level of market acceptance on the platform. The 4.7 store rating is positive, but the review count of 10+ is relatively limited, meaning the rating is based on a small visible feedback base. This reduces the strength of the commercial validation compared with suppliers that have a larger review history.

Scoring Rationale
The transaction amount is solid and the order count indicates consistent activity, supporting a medium-to-good business performance assessment. However, the limited number of reviews prevents the supplier from being rated as a high-volume, highly validated performer. The business record is credible but not yet strongly supported by broad customer feedback.

Final Score
16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Response time: ≤1h
- Insufficient Data: Full Customization support is not provided
- Insufficient Data: detailed communication quality, language capability, quotation speed, or after-sales process is not provided

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time of less than or equal to one hour is a strong service indicator and suggests efficient initial communication. This is valuable for procurement teams that require quick quotation cycles or fast clarification during supplier screening. However, the data does not state whether the supplier supports Full Customization, private labeling, packaging customization, engineering support, or other buyer-specific service capabilities.

Scoring Rationale
The fast response time supports a strong service score. However, since Full Customization capability is not confirmed, the supplier cannot receive the highest score in this category. The current evidence supports good responsiveness but only partially confirms broader service capability.

Final Score
8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 97.5%

Elaboration
The supplier’s reported on-time delivery rate of 97.5% is a strong logistics and fulfillment indicator. This level exceeds the 90% benchmark for the highest scoring range and suggests reliable order execution based on the provided platform data. For buyers managing replenishment cycles or distributor inventory, this is a positive factor.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. At 97.5%, the supplier demonstrates excellent delivery reliability within the available data set.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.7
- Review count: 10+
- Verified supplier: True
- Insufficient Data: Finished Product Inspection is not provided
- Insufficient Data: confirmed quality certifications are not provided in the structured data
- Insufficient Data: defect rate, return rate, complaint rate, and inspection reports are not provided

Elaboration
The store rating of 4.7 is positive and suggests generally favorable buyer satisfaction. Verified supplier status provides some quality-related credibility because it indicates that the supplier has passed a platform verification process. However, the review count is relatively small, which limits the reliability of the rating as a broad quality indicator. There is also no provided confirmation of Finished Product Inspection, formal quality management certification, third-party test reports, or defect performance data.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has a good rating and verified status, supporting a fair-to-good quality assessment. However, the limited review volume and missing inspection or quality system data prevent a higher score. The quality outlook is acceptable based on available evidence, but additional verification is necessary before high-value or long-term sourcing decisions.

Final Score
15 / 20

Total Score

81 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with moderate confidence, especially for buyers sourcing automotive wiper blades in small to medium batch volumes. The supplier appears suitable for wholesalers, online sellers, distributors, and procurement teams requiring flexible MOQs, fast response, Trade Assurance protection, and reliable delivery performance.

Key strengths include 6 years of Gold Supplier history, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, CN¥2.9M+ transaction value over the past six months, ≤1h response time, and a strong 97.5% on-time delivery rate.

Main risks include limited review volume, insufficient data on Full Customization, insufficient data on Finished Product Inspection, and lack of confirmed formal quality certifications in the provided structured data. Product titles mention IATF 16949, but the supplied certification data does not verify this, so it should not be treated as confirmed.

Recommended procurement approach: start with sample validation or a small trial order, request inspection evidence, confirm customization capability if needed, and verify any claimed certifications directly before scaling to larger orders. The supplier shows good growth potential due to stable platform credibility, focused product category, and strong delivery metrics.
