Our current manufacturer for compression sofa beds is running near capacity and can no longer guarantee the lead times we need during our busier ordering periods, so we're qualifying a second supplier to run in parallel rather than depend on a single factory. Product: 3-seater compression/folding sofa bed for small-footprint apartments and extended-stay units, solid wood frame, high-resilience foam cushions, removable fabric cover, folds down for space-saving storage. We'd want the same three length options our current line offers — roughly 1.4m, 1.7m and 2.0m — so we can keep our size range consistent across both suppliers. Volume: about 1,200 pieces per year to start, split across the two smaller lengths mostly, released in batches rather than one shipment — this supplier would take the overflow our current factory can't cover. Requirements: CE conformity is mandatory, and we'd want confirmation of frame material (kiln-dried solid wood preferred) and foam density, since consistency between our two suppliers matters for warranty claims down the line. Packaging: flat or compressed carton suitable for parcel and LTL freight, unit weight and carton dimensions declared upfront so we can plan warehouse space — our current supplier ships around 50kg per unit boxed. Delivery: FOB origin, we handle ocean freight through our own forwarder. In your proposal, include: pricing per piece at this volume across the three lengths, current production lead time and how much slack capacity you actually have, sample cost and turnaround, and whether you can match or beat a 5-year frame warranty.
