Process Capabilities Models RFQ

Rubber RFQs, matched to the right factory.

Meridian is a Taiwan-based rubber sourcing desk. Send us a drawing, sample, or problem description. We triage the specification, shortlist capable manufacturers, coordinate quotes and samples, and help buyers avoid the wrong factory match.

02 / Positioning

A rubber part is small until it stops a product line. We help buyers turn unclear RFQs into factory-ready specifications.

Files accepted PDF, DWG, STEP, photos

Start with whatever you have. We will separate confirmed specs from open questions before quoting.

Response target 1 business day review

Complete RFQs get an initial review target of one business day, with clear next questions if data is missing.

Factory screening Process-first matching

We match by molding, extrusion, bonding, silicone, material experience, MOQ and export readiness.

Good fit Custom rubber projects

Best for industrial, mobility, machinery, aftermarket, consumer and recurring procurement programs.

03 / RFQ workflow

From drawing to quote - without guessing.

01

RFQ intake

We collect the drawing, sample photos, material, hardness, tolerance, usage environment, annual volume, packaging, and target market requirements.

02

Technical triage

We clarify material choices such as NBR, EPDM, FKM, silicone, NR, HNBR, and flag unclear tolerance or testing requirements before asking factories.

Factory shortlist

We route the RFQ to the right process: compression, injection, extrusion, rubber-to-metal bonding, hose, tubing, silicone, or custom molding.

05 / Commercial models

Start light. Scale only when the part makes sense.

RFQ desk

For early-stage projects. We help clarify the specification, contact factories, compare quotes, and prepare next-step questions.

Best for: first-time buyer, unclear drawings, supplier search.

Factory matching

For buyers that need better supplier fit. We route the RFQ to factories by process, material, MOQ, application, and quote readiness.

Best for: buyers comparing multiple manufacturing routes.

Quote coordination

For active RFQs. We organize factory replies into comparable quote points: tooling, unit price, MOQ, sample lead time, and open questions.

Best for: buyers who need a clean quote comparison before choosing a supplier.

07 / FAQ

What buyers usually ask before sharing drawings.

Can you sign an NDA first?

Yes. Use the RFQ form to request an NDA. Do not upload confidential drawings on this page; email drawings only after the NDA or first reply.

Do you manufacture the parts?

Meridian is positioned as a sourcing and project coordination desk. Manufacturing is handled by selected partner factories. The commercial model can be agency or trading depending on the project.

What is Meridian's scope?

Meridian focuses on RFQ sourcing: clarifying the request, finding suitable factories, coordinating quote questions, and helping compare supplier replies.

What should I include in the RFQ?

Drawing or sample photos, material, hardness, dimensions, tolerance, quantity, target application, temperature/oil/chemical exposure, target price, and timeline.

08 / Submit RFQ

Tell us what
you need to source.

Submitting opens an email draft with your RFQ details. Attach drawings, sample photos, or NDA requests in the email before sending.

After submission, your email app will open with a complete RFQ draft addressed to rfq@meridian-rubber.com. If the draft does not open, copy the generated RFQ text below and send it manually.
