328 product types, counted from 12,951 company records.

Right now we count 328 named product types across 28 categories, read out of 12,951 published company records in our index. The list is what companies say they make in their own product descriptions — it is a reading of public records, not a stock list, and it grows as we read more.

It is the number of companies in our index that name that product in their own published description. It counts companies, not units, capacity, or stock. A type with 100 companies is easier to compare and shortlist; a type with 12 is thinner, and the brief matters more.

No. The index is only what we have read so far, and it is deliberately counted rather than padded. Send the item, the quantity and the destination and we shortlist from the category, not from this page.

From the category records first — region, the certifications a company publishes, whether it publishes OEM/ODM capability, and whether the product wording actually matches yours. Then a sample decides. Two to three factories is usually enough to find out who can hold a tolerance.
