Question 1

What is NovaSupplier manufacturer discovery?

Accepted Answer

It is the public directory surface where you search verified Portuguese clothing manufacturers, their products, and manufacturing services. Profiles are built for sourcing decisions, not anonymous listings.

Question 2

Who is listed in this directory?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers on NovaSupplier are vetted for the directory. You see context that helps you shortlist, then you open a profile to go deeper on capabilities, MOQ signals, and how to start a conversation.

Question 3

How does search and filtering work?

Accepted Answer

Use the search box and filters for country, category, industry, and features. URLs accept the same parameters, so you can share a filtered view with your team.

Question 4

How do I contact a manufacturer?

Accepted Answer

Open the manufacturer profile from the list, then use the in-product actions to start a relationship on NovaSupplier. The goal is a direct line to the factory, not a middle inbox.

Question 5

Does browsing this page cost money?

Accepted Answer

Searching and viewing public directory information does not require a paid plan. Creating a relationship, running briefs, and production workflows happen inside NovaSupplier accounts with their own rules.

Question 6

Where should a Portuguese factory start?

Accepted Answer

Factories should claim their profile, complete directory readiness, and use NovaSupplier onboarding for suppliers so buyers see the right signals the first time they land on the page.
