Dongguan
Dongguan is one of China’s most important manufacturing cities, located in Guangdong Province between Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The city is a core production engine of the Pearl River Delta, known for large-scale export manufacturing across electronics, components, and consumer goods. Dongguan has strong clusters in electronics assembly, precision components, connectors, cables, PCBs, plastics, and metal parts. The city hosts major manufacturing operations and supplier networks for companies such as Foxconn, OPPO, Vivo, Huawei supply chains, and Apple Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers. Dongguan is also a key base for automation equipment and smart manufacturing hardware. In addition to electronics, Dongguan produces packaging, molds, toys, furniture, footwear components, and a wide range of OEM consumer products at scale. Factories in Dongguan are typically export-ready, process-driven, and capable of high-volume production with consistent quality. Dongguan is best suited for buyers sourcing electronics, components, consumer goods, and large-scale OEM manufacturing where supply-chain depth, production capacity, and export experience are critical.
