Find the right supplier
A directory gives you a list of names. Iberlane gives you a small number of suppliers who actually match what you're looking for, already contacted and already interested.
Directories make suppliers searchable, not relevant
Supplier directories make companies searchable. They do not determine whether a manufacturer matches your specification, volumes, certifications, market requirements or commercial priorities. Iberlane starts with the requirement and works backwards from it.

Iberlane's role sits before the negotiation: understanding what you need, finding companies capable of delivering it, and confirming genuine interest before making an introduction.
What Iberlane needs from you
The more precise the brief, the faster and more relevant the search. A typical sourcing brief covers:
- Product or specification
- Expected volume
- Target geography
- Required certifications
- MOQ (minimum order quantity)
- Private-label requirement, if any
- Delivery timing
- Target commercial conditions
What Iberlane does not do
Unless a particular engagement explicitly includes it, Iberlane does not perform:
- Technical audits of a supplier's facilities or processes
- Legal due diligence on a counterparty
- Product certification or compliance sign-off
- Financial guarantees on either party
- Supplier warranties on quality, delivery or performance
Buyer and supplier contract directly with each other. Iberlane facilitates identification, qualification and introduction, and does not assume the contractual obligations of either party.
