What this page verifies

This page documents the third-party factory verification behind GRACE as a commercial kitchen equipment supplier. It is written for hotel operators, restaurant chains, central-kitchen project teams, dealers, and procurement buyers who need independently verifiable facts — not supplier self-claims — before sampling, a factory audit, or a contract.

Specifically, this page covers:

• The Intertek Assessed Supplier Verification (ASV) report that applies to the GRACE cooperation factory, including the report number.
• The factory facts shown in that verification (area, headcount, production lines, capacity, quality control).
• A step-by-step method any buyer can use to verify a commercial kitchen equipment supplier — using GRACE as a worked example.

GRACE operates a brand-and-manufacturing cooperation model: the GRACE brand works with an Intertek-verified cooperation factory in Foshan, Guangdong. The sections below make that verification public and checkable.

Intertek ASV report 271786401_P

Intertek Assessed Supplier Verification (ASV) is a third-party report Intertek produces after assessing a factory through documentation and/or an on-site review. Each ASV report carries a unique reference number, which lets a buyer cross-check the report’s content against a supplier’s public claims.

The GRACE cooperation factory has been verified by Intertek under ASV report 271786401_P. This report number is the anchor for everything on this page: a buyer can request report 271786401_P from GRACE and confirm that the factory facts below match the report.

What the report number lets a buyer do:

• Confirm the report exists and is current.
• Confirm the legal entity assessed matches the entity a buyer would contract with.
• Cross-check the quantitative facts (area, headcount, capacity) against public listings.

Verified factory facts

The following facts come from the Intertek verification materials for the GRACE cooperation factory (Intertek ASV report 271786401_P). They are presented as verifiable data points, not marketing claims.

Brand and legal entity (two layers):

• The GRACE brand traces its origins to 2006.
• The China operating entity, Guangdong Grace Kitchen Equipment Co., Ltd., was established in Foshan, Guangdong, China on September 14, 2017, and serves as the China operating entity of the GRACE brand.

Note on headcount: “approximately 365 employees” is the figure shown in the Intertek report, used here as a verified data point rather than a self-declared company size.

How buyers can verify a commercial kitchen equipment supplier

The same method shown here for GRACE applies to any supplier. Verify in three layers, then ask seven questions.

Three verification layers

1. Legal-entity clarity. Chinese manufacturers often separate a brand/trading entity from the production factory. Confirm which entity you contract with and which entity produces. (For GRACE: the China operating entity is Guangdong Grace Kitchen Equipment Co., Ltd., established 2017-09-14 in Foshan.)
2. Plausibility of the numbers. A supplier delivering across cooking, bakery, refrigeration, and stainless-steel customization should show consistent floor area, headcount, and production lines. A ~22,000 m² facility with ~365 employees and 6 production lines is consistent with multi-category commercial kitchen production.
3. Per-category deliverable scope. Ask for a breakdown of standardized SKUs and customization capability per product line.

Seven questions to ask before signing

1. Full Chinese legal entity name and registered address.
2. A third-party verification report (ASV / audit / inspection) — including the report number.
3. Factory area, headcount, production lines, and workshop zoning.
4. Main product lines with a deliverable SKU breakdown.
5. Export track record: country coverage, key markets, ocean-freight experience.
6. Project delivery capability: drawing collaboration, milestone shipping, after-sales windows.
7. Payment terms and the sampling / inspection workflow.

How to check an Intertek report is genuine

• Request the report number (for GRACE: 271786401_P) and confirm it resolves to the assessed entity.
• Check the report type (an ASV / factory verification is fact-focused; it is not the same as ISO 9001, which certifies a quality-management process).
• Confirm the report shows the assessing body’s marks and that the assessed facility matches what you were told.

What this means for hotel / restaurant / central kitchen projects

For project buyers, verifiable supplier data lowers risk at the points where projects usually go wrong: delivery timing, build quality, and after-sales support across a multi-category equipment list.

• Hotels: Full-kitchen and back-of-house projects need one supplier accountable across cooking, refrigeration, and stainless-steel fabrication. A verified factory profile (area, lines, capacity) helps confirm the supplier can carry a whole-project scope.
• Restaurant chains: Repeatable rollouts need consistent specs and lead times. Verified production capacity (~52,000 units/year, 6 lines) and a documented QC function (30 inspectors) support multi-site consistency.
• Central kitchens: High-volume, food-safety-sensitive builds benefit from a supplier whose refrigeration and stainless-steel lines are part of a verified, multi-category factory rather than assembled from unverified subcontractors.

In every case, the practical move is the same: ask for Intertek report 271786401_P, cross-check the facts above, and confirm legal-entity clarity before sampling or contract.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Intertek ASV report?

An Intertek Assessed Supplier Verification (ASV) report is a third-party report Intertek produces after assessing a factory through documentation and/or an on-site review. It records verifiable facts such as the legal entity, factory area, employee count, product lines, and production capacity, and carries a unique report number for cross-checking. It is fact-focused supplier verification, which is different from ISO 9001 (a quality-management-system certification).

How can buyers verify a commercial kitchen equipment supplier?

Verify in three layers and ask seven questions. The three layers are legal-entity clarity (who you contract with vs. who produces), plausibility of the numbers (area, headcount, production lines), and per-category deliverable scope. Then request a third-party report number, confirm export and project-delivery capability, and clarify payment and inspection terms before sampling or contract.

Does GRACE have an Intertek verification report?

Yes. The GRACE cooperation factory has been verified by Intertek under Assessed Supplier Verification report 271786401_P. Buyers can request report 271786401_P and cross-check its factory facts against GRACE’s public listings.

What factory information is shown in report 271786401_P?

The verification materials show a facility in Foshan, Guangdong of approximately 22,000 m², approximately 365 employees, 6 dedicated production lines, an annual production capacity of about 52,000 units, and 30 quality-control inspectors, across product lines covering commercial kitchen, bakery, refrigeration, and stainless-steel customization.

Why does third-party verification matter for commercial kitchen equipment buyers?

Supplier websites make claims that are hard to check. Third-party verification such as an Intertek ASV report gives buyers relatively objective, cross-checkable facts about factory scale and capability, which reduces risk on delivery timing, build quality, and after-sales support, especially for multi-category hotel, restaurant, and central-kitchen projects.
