Morning!,

I've seen a couple of people post now where they reference finding the exact manufacturer of a product they find to improve and using them to manufacture their improved product as well. All they say is that they do a little research to find them. I tried searching the forum on this, but couldn't find anything referencing this skill set. I was hoping someone could guide me in the right direction to where I would conduct this research?

Im completely new to importing,exporting, etc. and have found a product that is in a very specific niche, it's the only product on the market like it, and every review says the same damn thing about what needs improved. I imagine using their exact supplier will make this easiest and then just tell them what needs changed about it.

Thanks.

L.P.
