ARBO category route

From product brief to factory execution.

ARBO is currently supporting China-side sourcing and factory communication for pet-product requirements including metal dog crates.

  1. 01

    Define product use

    Capture animal size, use environment, target market, dimensions and critical safety features.

  2. 02

    Match the factory process

    Qualify welding, coating, moulding, sewing, assembly or packaging capability as relevant.

  3. 03

    Prove the sample

    Record materials, construction, hardware, finish, packaging and approved changes.

  4. 04

    Control production

    Coordinate factory follow-up and inspection around the product's actual failure modes.

Category boundary

Product safety requirements depend on design, intended use and destination market. ARBO coordinates evidence and inspection but does not replace qualified product engineers or legal compliance specialists.
