Why Partner With Us

What you get as a MoldVN partner

We bring qualified international buyers. You focus on building good tools.

01

Pre-Qualified RFQs

We screen every inquiry — clear drawings, real volumes, real budget. No tire-kickers, no Alibaba spam, no time wasted on dead leads.

02

English-Free Workflow

You don't need a strong English team. We handle all buyer communication, drawings clarification, and translation. Submit quote in Vietnamese — we translate.

03

Payment Protection

Buyer escrow or LC for first orders. We handle invoicing, customs paperwork, and shipping coordination — you focus on building the tool.

04

No Exclusivity

You keep your existing clients. We're an additional channel, not a replacement. Take the jobs that fit, pass on the ones that don't.

05

Marketing Lift

Your shop is visible to international buyers searching from US/EU/JP — without you running ads, building a website, or attending trade shows.

06

Tech Support

DFM advisory, mold flow analysis, and engineering review available on shared projects. Strengthen your shop's offering at zero added cost.

Common Questions

Mold makers usually ask

Do I have to pay to join?

No. Joining is free. We take a sourcing fee from the buyer side, not from partners. You quote the buyer your factory price — we add our fee separately and transparently.

Can I keep my existing customers?

Yes. We're not exclusive. Many of our partners use us as a secondary channel — they keep their direct relationships and take RFQs from us when capacity allows. You're free to accept or pass on any project.

How are RFQs allocated among partners?

By fit, not rotation. We match each RFQ to the partner whose capability, steel grade, capacity, and timeline best fit the project. Partners with stronger track records (on-time delivery, low defect rates, clean reports) get priority on bigger projects.

What if my English is weak?

Not a problem. We handle all buyer communication. You receive briefs in Vietnamese, send quotes/updates in Vietnamese, and we translate. The only requirement is willingness to receive emails — even in Vietnamese — and respond within 24h.

Will buyers know my shop's name?

Pre-engagement: no. We keep partner identity confidential during initial inquiry to protect both sides. Once the buyer commits to a project and signs NDAs, we disclose the shop. Some buyers want to visit — we coordinate.

What about payment risk on first orders?

For first-time buyer engagements, we use escrow or staged LC payments. Tooling typically: 30% on PO, 30% on T0, 40% on shipment. We hold buyer funds in escrow at milestone gates so you're never building on credit.
