For manufacturers
Turn good manufacturing into evidence your UK customers can trust.
Gateway onboarding is evidence-based and reflects the actual structure of the manufacturer. There is no value in pretending every factory has the same production model.
What onboarding may examine
Built around your production model.
- 01 Is alloy produced in-house or purchased?
- 02 Is casting carried out in-house or outsourced?
- 03 Where do findings originate?
- 04 Is solder manufactured or purchased?
- 05 Is plating carried out internally or by a subcontractor?
- 06 Are recycled metals used?
- 07 Are base-metal components incorporated?
- 08 What testing and traceability evidence already exists?
The commercial case
Partnership, evidence and access.
Gateway provides credible manufacturers with a structured mechanism to demonstrate controls to UK buyers. The proposition is partnership, evidence and access, not bureaucracy for its own sake.
