A quick question. How do you find manufacturers for a particular brand? I want to dabble in becoming a supplier (not for Amazon nor US) but so far I can't figure out the suppliers for brands you would find at Walmart, etc.

import yeti will allow you to search for atleast imported goods (and if its made in usa, then atleast it lets you fetch records of its sourced parts) , https://www.importyeti.com

This lets you search through the entire import records, and find out suppliers for various brands, note: some companies intentionally use a different name under which it imports the products (rare), but still is be a good place to start looking.

Good luck with your business !

How is this site free? The ladings data is quite expensive and there are a bunch of vendors charging a hefty fee for it.

Glad this site is free though :) I hope they stick around for a long time

Great site, thanks! wonder if we have something similar in Europe
That's the site! Unfortunately I don't see Covergirl, Maybelline, etc. I will keep looking
They are probably importing under a different name, keep looking

Search up where their product facilities are, is it outside or inside usa , if so then depending on that you’ll need to look up parts of the product.

If you need help looking through it, Ping me on “me at teitoklien . com” (klien is not a typo)

I’ll try to help you, search for it.

> Ping me on “me at teitoklien . com” (klien is not a typo)

If confusion is common enough to warrant the preemption, then why not just get teitokline.com as well? Seems to be available.

I own both teitoklein.com and teitoklien.com Due to that typo issue

people dont mistake it with kline, its usually with klein

Appreciate the suggestion tho :)

Alibaba
it surprises me every time a reverse image search turns up the same stock photo of the product on alibaba, so I second this and recommend pasting the products’ photo URL to tineye.com
