I am developing the manufacturing of my patented English riding
stirrup. I have located a stainless steel manufacturer in Taiwan, with
a foundry in China.  I need to purchase the rubber pads that insert
into the bottom of the stirrup so the rider's foot doesn't slip.  The
majority of these pads are made very cheaply in China.  My
manufacturer does not make equestrian products and hasn't located a
supplier of these pads as of yet.  The closer to the source of
manufacture (supplier, not geographical closeness) the better the
price.  Otherwise we will have to create tooling which I think is
unnecessary.

Thanks,

MDCohen

Dear mdc,

Would a manufacturer in India also fulfill your needs?

A manufacturer in India or other surrounding countries may be of some
use, but a location in China is preferrable as my manufacturer is in
China.
