Get Instant Access to 500+ Verified Suppliers

Finding reliable manufacturers shouldn’t feel like guesswork.
‍But for most startups, that’s exactly what it is.
‍
The manufacturing industry is still stuck in the pre-internet age — operating more like a private members’ club than a marketplace.
‍
One where the world’s best factories don’t advertise, aren’t on socials, and definitely won’t be found on Alibaba.
‍
That might sound hard to believe — but it's true, and it's intentional.
‍
Top-tier factories are often silenced by strict NDAs.
They can’t advertise who their clients are.
‍
And often, they don’t even want to be Googled.
Why? Because they'd rather not be flooded with inquiries from unqualified buyers.
‍
Plus, the good ones are busy.
Often operating near capacity year-round.
‍
So where should you go?
Most founders turn to Alibaba...
‍
They scroll through endless lists of faceless factories, hoping one of them turns out to be legit.
‍
But here’s the truth: World-class manufacturers don’t advertise online.
‍
They don’t need to — and they don’t want to. They’re too busy fulfilling orders for brands you already know.
‍
If you’ve ever wondered how the big brands always seem to have access to better suppliers — it’s because they do.

They’re not sourcing on Alibaba.
They're not scrolling TikTok.
They’re not Googling “clothing manufacturer”.
‍
In fact — less than 5% of the manufacturers in our database are listed on Alibaba.
‍
And if you can prove us wrong? We’ll refund your access fee.
‍
At the highest level, manufacturing is still done the old-fashioned way:

In person.
At trade shows.
On factory floors.
Behind closed doors.
‍
How do we know?

We’ve spent the last 6 years building relationships with world-class manufacturers — and delivering six-figure product runs for premium brands across the UK, USA, Australia, and the UAE.

We’ve done what no online search engine or Ai bot can:

✈️ Visited factories & exhibitions in 8+ countries
💸 Invested $47,726 in travel expenses (Updated August 2025)
📊 Indexed data on 500+ factories
📹 Interviewed over 200+ world-class manufacturers
‍
And we didn’t stop there.

We turned that research into a fully custom platform — the Atsource Manufacturer Database.

500+ vetted factories.
55+ countries
One simple database.
‍
This resource was originally built for our in-house sourcing team — the same team behind a multi–seven-figure manufacturing agency.
‍
But after sharing factory interviews on our Instagram in 2023?

The DMs started piling in.
Founders. Designers. Startups.
‍
All asking the same question: Who are these factories... and how can I reach them?
‍
The realistic answer to how and where to find these factories is expensive, complex, and time-consuming. We just spent the last 6 years doing it as a team.

But in 2025, today’s entrepreneurs are building lean, adapting quickly, and scaling fast. The slow, expensive, closed-door model of sourcing is outdated, and the industry needs a shake-up.
‍
We had already built the solution — our Manufacturer Database — and now, due to huge demand, we're making it public.
‍
If you’re building a brand — and you’re serious about doing it right — this is your shortcut.

No more wasting months chasing the wrong suppliers.
No more $$$ wasted on samples from subpar factories.
No more guesswork.

Give yourself an unfair advantage and join the brands who already know where to manufacture.
