What HAIZOL does

Haizol is a Shanghai-based B2B online marketplace, founded in 2015 by Sherry She, that connects international buyers with verified Chinese factories for custom parts manufacturing. The platform aggregates 800,000+ listed factories and serves 300,000+ sourcing professionals across 117 member locations, supporting processes including CNC machining, plastic molding (injection, thermoforming, compression, blow, insert, prototype), sheet metal fabrication, casting, forging, stamping, prototyping, and mechanical assembly. Haizol also operates a Standard Parts Directory for off-the-shelf industrial components. The core workflow is a multi-supplier RFQ system: buyers upload CAD files (via the Quick RFQ mini-RFQ or full marketplace) and receive an average of six competing quotes from verified factories within 24 hours, with 93.8% of online injection molding RFQs receiving a verified quote in that window. AI-driven supplier matching, factory verification via onsite inspections, and real-time production tracking from design through delivery form the proprietary technology layer.

The business model is asymmetric between sides: buyers use the marketplace free of charge to browse factories, submit RFQs, and compare competing quotes; Haizol monetizes exclusively via commissions or transaction fees charged to factories on completed orders. Enterprise procurement teams receive additional support through dedicated account managers, while SMB and individual buyers are served via self-serve PLG workflows. Go-to-market relies on SEO-optimized multilingual content (28+ languages, including an SEO-optimized factory directory), proprietary annual industry reports (China CNC Machining and Injection Molding Industry Reports), peer testimonials across multiple geographies, and placements in third-party buyer's guides.

The platform's named enterprise customers include Bosch, LG, Haier Group, Emerson, Ford, Magna, Hitachi, Fresenius Kabi, Rockwell Automation, Hutchinson, Mann+Hummel, ams OSRAM, Panduit, and Inovance, spanning automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and industrial automation verticals. The legal entity is Shanghai Haizhi Online Network Technology Co., Ltd., with operating offices in Shanghai (headquarters) and Los Angeles, and total disclosed equity funding of roughly $34.8M across rounds in 2017, 2019, 2024, and 2025, most recently led by China Merchants Venture Capital in June 2025.

Broad incumbents

• Alibaba.com: Alibaba.com is the dominant global B2B e-commerce marketplace connecting international buyers with Chinese manufacturers and wholesalers. It is a direct competitor to HAIZOL in cross-border sourcing, with broader category coverage, larger buyer network, and significantly more brand recognition, but it lacks HAIZOL's focus on verified custom manufacturing services (CNC, molding, casting).
• Proto Labs: Proto Labs (Protolabs) is a leading digital manufacturer of custom prototypes and on-demand production parts using CNC, injection molding, 3D printing, and sheet metal. It competes with HAIZOL in custom parts manufacturing, with its own factory network rather than a marketplace model, serving similar enterprise buyer segments in North America and Europe.

Direct peers

• Made-in-China (Focus Technology): Made-in-China.com, operated by Focus Technology, is one of the largest B2B marketplaces for Chinese-made products, directly competing with HAIZOL in connecting global buyers with Chinese manufacturers. It offers similar services across multiple product categories and is a head-to-head marketplace competitor for HAIZOL's buyer base.
• Global Sources: Global Sources is a Hong Kong-based B2B media company and online marketplace connecting international buyers with Asian (predominantly Chinese) suppliers. It directly competes with HAIZOL in cross-border sourcing, with longer operating history in trade shows and supplier verification, and serves many of the same enterprise buyer segments.
• Thomasnet: Thomasnet is the leading North American B2B industrial sourcing platform connecting buyers with manufacturers and suppliers. While it focuses on North American suppliers, it competes with HAIZOL for industrial buyers searching for custom manufacturing and serves as a complementary regional alternative in the US market.
• Xometry: Xometry operates an on-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers with manufacturers for CNC machining, injection molding, 3D printing, and sheet metal fabrication. It is a direct competitor to HAIZOL in the custom parts manufacturing marketplace category, with strong US/Europe footprint, AI-driven quoting, and a public-company scale.
• Hubs (formerly 3D Hubs): Hubs is a global manufacturing platform offering CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, and 3D printing services through a network of vetted manufacturers. It directly competes with HAIZOL in custom parts manufacturing marketplace, with strengths in Europe and instant online quoting.
• Fictiv: Fictiv is a digital manufacturing platform connecting hardware teams with vetted manufacturing partners for mechanical prototyping and production. It directly competes with HAIZOL in custom parts sourcing, with focus on Silicon Valley and enterprise hardware customers, though HAIZOL's China-based factory network gives it cost advantages.

Emerging players

• JLCPCB: JLCPCB is a leading PCB and assembly manufacturing platform in China offering online ordering for PCB prototypes, SMT assembly, and 3D printing. It overlaps with HAIZOL in the broader Chinese online manufacturing marketplace space, with strengths in PCB prototyping and small-batch electronics manufacturing.
• PCBWay: PCBWay is a Chinese online manufacturing platform providing PCB fabrication, assembly, CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding services. It overlaps with HAIZOL in custom parts sourcing from Chinese factories, with comparable self-serve RFQ workflow and similar target market of small-batch and prototype customers.
