How to Search & Browse Factories

Use the main search bar

On the homepage or in your dashboard's Overview tab, type a product name, factory name, or industry into the search bar (e.g. 'cotton t-shirt', 'leather goods', 'Dhaka garment'). Results appear as you type with autocomplete suggestions.

Browse the full manufacturer directory

Go to /manufacturers to see all listed factories. Use the filter panel on the left to narrow results by: Industry/Category, Certification (e.g. ISO, GOTS, OEKO-TEX), Location (city or region), Membership tier, and Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ).

View a factory profile

Click on any factory card to open their full profile page. Here you will find: company overview, product categories, certifications, factory photos, capacity details, year established, and export history. Premium factories also show a company description and contact inquiry form.

Save factories for later

On any factory profile page, click the bookmark icon (🔖) to save that factory to your 'Saved Factories' list. You can access your saved factories from the 'Saved Factories' tab in your dashboard. This is useful when comparing multiple factories before deciding who to invite.

Browse by industry

Go to /industries to explore factories organized by sector: Textiles & Apparel, Leather & Footwear, Agriculture & Food, Engineering & Tech, Handicrafts & Jute, Pharmaceuticals & Chemicals, and more. Each industry page lists all matching factories with filters.

Check certifications

Go to /certifications to browse factories by the specific certifications they hold. This is important if your buyers or brand standards require specific compliance certificates such as BSCI, ISO 9001, GOTS, or WRAP.
