York International Hk Limited Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

YORK INTERNATIONAL HK LIMITED is a Hong Kong-based supplier offering diatomite and diatomaceous earth powder products mainly positioned for insulation board, insulation materials, coatings filler, mortar, and thermal insulation board applications. Based on the provided data, the company shows a moderate operating scale, with a reported factory area of over 5,500 m², more than 30 staff, and verified supplier status. Its platform profile includes Gold Supplier status for 3 years, Trade Assurance support, response time within 3 hours, and 100.0% on-time delivery. However, its recent commercial performance appears limited, with 10+ orders and CN¥6.7K+ transaction value in the past six months, alongside only 2 customer reviews and a 4.6 store rating. The supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking small to medium-volume sourcing of diatomite-related industrial materials, especially where delivery reliability and platform-backed transaction protection are important. Key limitations include low review volume, modest transaction scale, and insufficient data on customization capability and finished product inspection systems.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory area: 5,500+ m²
- Employees: 30+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory province: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier has a reported factory area above 5,500 m², which indicates a tangible production or operating footprint rather than a purely trading-oriented profile. The workforce size of over 30 staff suggests basic organizational and production support capacity, but it does not indicate a large-scale manufacturing workforce. Verified supplier status adds credibility to the company’s operational existence and basic supplier profile.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates foundational production capacity through its factory area, employee count, and verified supplier status. However, the available data does not support classification as a large-scale stable supply chain because the workforce remains relatively small and no detailed production capacity, equipment list, annual output, or factory audit certificate is provided. Therefore, the supplier fits best within the small-to-medium production capability range.

Final Score
14 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 3 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Platform tags: Response time ≤3h; On-time delivery 100.0%
- Factory/supplier verification: True
- Other certifications: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators, including Gold Supplier status, 3 years of supplier history, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. These elements provide a reasonable level of platform-backed trust and transaction protection. The available tags also show operational indicators related to response time and delivery performance.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has the core platform credibility elements expected from a reliable supplier, including Gold Supplier status and Trade Assurance. However, the Gold Supplier history is moderate rather than long-term, and there is no data showing additional industry certifications, product certifications, or a broader compliance system. This supports a positive but not top-tier platform credibility score.

Final Score
16 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 10+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥6.7K+
- Store rating: 4.6
- Review count: 2

Elaboration
The supplier has generated measurable recent platform activity, but the order count and transaction value are relatively limited. A 4.6 store rating is acceptable, but the credibility of this rating is constrained by the very low number of reviews. The data suggests some buyer validation exists, but the scale of commercial traction is still modest.

Scoring Rationale
Business performance is supported by recent orders and transaction value, but the volume does not indicate high market penetration or strong commercial validation. The low review count limits confidence in the store rating, and the six-month transaction amount remains small. As a result, the supplier is better assessed as having early or limited platform sales evidence rather than stable medium-to-high transaction performance.

Final Score
11 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤3h
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time within 3 hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency for platform-based sourcing. This is positive for buyers requiring quotation follow-up and basic order communication. However, no data is provided confirming Full Customization, OEM/ODM capability, technical formulation support, packaging customization, or dedicated engineering assistance.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier’s response speed is reasonable but does not meet the highest service benchmark of response within 1 hour. Since customization capability is not provided, the service capability cannot be rated as strong. The score reflects normal communication efficiency with insufficient evidence of advanced customization support.

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, for the recorded transactions, the supplier has been able to meet agreed dispatch timelines. However, the interpretation should be balanced against the relatively low recent order volume.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for the 9–10 score range. The reported 100.0% rate justifies a high score. Because the order base is not large, the score is strong but not treated as absolute proof of large-scale delivery reliability.

Final Score
9 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.6
- Review count: 2
- Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data
- Factory Verification / Verified Supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a positive store rating of 4.6, but only 2 reviews are available, which is too limited to establish a broad customer feedback pattern. Verified supplier status contributes some confidence in supplier authenticity, but there is no provided evidence of Finished Product Inspection, quality certifications, laboratory testing, batch inspection procedures, or third-party product quality verification.

Scoring Rationale
The quality and feedback profile is constrained by limited customer review volume and insufficient data on formal inspection systems. While the rating is reasonably good and supplier verification is present, the lack of finished product inspection evidence prevents a higher quality assurance score. The supplier demonstrates basic credibility, but quality validation remains incomplete.

Final Score
12 / 20

Total Score

69 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

YORK INTERNATIONAL HK LIMITED is conditionally recommended for cooperation, mainly for small to medium-volume buyers sourcing diatomite or diatomaceous earth powder products where Trade Assurance and delivery reliability are important. The supplier appears suitable for initial trial orders, sample-based evaluation, or price comparison sourcing rather than immediate large-scale procurement.

Key risk points include limited recent transaction value, low review count, insufficient data on Full Customization, and no provided evidence of Finished Product Inspection or detailed quality control systems. Its main growth potential lies in its verified supplier status, 5,500+ m² reported factory area, 100.0% on-time delivery rate, and established product focus in diatomite-related industrial materials. For procurement use, buyers should request product specifications, quality inspection records, samples, and confirmation of customization capability before placing larger orders.
