Independent procurement desk
About Falken Procurement
Falken is an independent China procurement coordination service for business buyers. We operate separately from tire manufacturers, brand owners and their sales networks.
Why the desk exists
A tire size is the beginning of a purchase brief
Consider a buyer comparing two quotations for the same 225/45R18 tire size. A 95W line and a 91V line differ in load index and speed rating. If the tread patterns also differ, the buyer can record tread depth in millimeters and request rolling resistance and wet-grip data measured on the offered size before deciding whether either quote fits the program. A lower quote is hard to compare until these fields, the named place and the packing scope are aligned. The desk is organized around resolving those gaps before a buyer approves a sample.
Keep the quoted SKU, inspected sample and packed SKU on the same record.
Buyers can source a narrow range from one supplier to simplify lot control, or combine sources when one range leaves size gaps. A combined order calls for a shared packing specification and more document reconciliation. Falken records which sidewall details, test conditions and supplier documents still need confirmation so the buyer can decide with those limits visible.
How responsibilities are divided
Suppliers document
Suppliers confirm specifications, SKU availability, MOQ and lead time. Independent inspectors and laboratories report the checks they perform.
Buyers approve
Buyers decide fitment, test scope and substitutions with their technical team. Forwarders and brokers handle freight and clearance under separate arrangements.
One line item can serve several teams
A category manager needs the size and pattern for the catalog. A fleet engineer needs axle duty and the relevant load condition. The importer needs the same SKU tied to market documents and a packing count. Put these inputs on one revision so a change from a stock to a custom pattern reaches all three teams. If the shipment uses mixed-container loading, record the size, supplier, lot and count on each row. A packing list that combines two lots without a breakdown cannot be reconciled to the approved sample records.
