Stump the
Expert

Is there any way I can find members who are currently purchasing fabrication or contract manufacturing from companies in China, India, Vietnam, etc.? I'd like to be able to talk with them to find reliable sources, hear their experiences both good and bad, etc.? Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
