Define the operation
Translate the production plan into a property brief
Factory selection should begin with the real process and approval path. Square metres and headline rent are secondary if the premises cannot support the equipment, utilities, logistics, environmental requirements, or expansion plan.
Utilities and safety
Define power capacity, water, gas, drainage, emissions, waste handling, fire classification, hazardous materials, and any special storage conditions.
Logistics and people
Map inbound materials, outbound goods, truck access, port or airport links, shift patterns, recruitment needs, staff transport, and supporting office space.
Industrial geography
Use the supply chain to narrow the map
Recent official Xiamen district profiles identify different industrial systems and platforms. These help create a search area, but a specific project must still be matched with a suitable park and premises.
Jimei
Official profiles emphasize machinery and equipment, software and information services, modern logistics, new materials, industrial robotics, and supporting parks such as the machinery concentration area and Software Park Phase III.
Haicang
Official positioning covers electronics and information, machinery, trade and logistics, biopharmaceuticals, integrated circuits, new materials, new energy, port logistics, and specialized industrial parks.
Tong'an
The district hosts a large share of Xiamen's above-scale industrial enterprises and lists platforms including Tongxiang High-Tech Town, the Low-Carbon Smart Manufacturing Park, and the Industrial Concentration Zone.
Xiang'an
Official profiles highlight flat-panel displays, semiconductors and integrated circuits, new energy and materials, power equipment, aviation-linked projects, and platforms in Tongxiang High-Tech Town and the Airport Economic Zone.
Site due diligence
Verify the premises before commercial commitment
The critical checks combine property documents, technical capacity, regulatory fit, and lease risk. Each project requires its own professional and authority confirmation.
Property and use
Check ownership or leasing authority, land and building use, planning status, sublease rights, access, common areas, and whether the intended operation is permitted.
Technical capacity
Confirm floor load, clear height, column grid, loading areas, lifts, power, utilities, drainage, ventilation, fire systems, and equipment installation routes.
Approval path
Identify environmental, fire-safety, construction, occupational-safety, product, customs, or sector approvals that may affect the site or fit-out.
Lease exposure
Define fit-out approval, rent commencement, handover standard, repair duties, reinstatement, expansion, renewal, early termination, and what happens if an approval is not obtained.
Decision questions
What overseas teams ask first
01Where should a manufacturer look for space in Xiamen?+
The answer depends on industry, production process, utilities, logistics, suppliers, workforce, and approval requirements. Jimei, Haicang, Tong'an, and Xiang'an each have different industrial clusters and park platforms; Huli also contains established high-tech and aviation-related activity.
02Can any factory building be used for any production activity?+
No. The building, land use, planning status, environmental conditions, fire-safety arrangements, power capacity, and park rules must fit the actual process. A property advertisement is not proof of regulatory or technical suitability.
03Can LongC-ES confirm environmental or fire approval?+
LongC-ES can help organize the site brief and coordinate local checks, but approval decisions belong to the relevant authorities and qualified professionals. Technical and regulatory conclusions should be verified before lease or investment commitment.
04What should an overseas team provide for a factory search?+
Provide the product and process description, equipment list, floor load, clear height, power and utility demand, ventilation or discharge needs, hazardous-material information, logistics pattern, workforce, office ratio, target date, and expansion plan.
