Honestly, I doubt anyone is going to tell you anything about manufacturing methods.
The people I know (who work in Product Development) will have to contact Procurement to find out who the vendor is and then, unless they already have contact with that vendor, probably won't be able to even ask the vendor what the procedure is.
Even if they do ask the vendor will ask why guys in Product Development want to know...and so it goes.
