Here are a couple of sources to start your search whether you're looking for a contract manufacturer, a supplier, or a business relationship for other inquiries.
Alibaba:
Alibaba is a Chinese multinational company that specializes in e-commerce, technology, and retail. I know for a fact browsing on this website can be really overwhelming. When using this website, please be sure to only contact profiles that have trade assurance and prior reviews. I find this website has a lot of manufacturers and suppliers that are able to produce a product you want or need. The only downside is that they have a minimum order quantity(MOQ) and it usually ranges either very high at 10,000 units or as low as 100 units.
DH Gate and Aliexpress:
DH Gate and Aliexpress are both great websites to source your products from. Unlike Alibaba, you can purchase as many or as little items as you want. I would recommend DH Gate and Aliexpress for those interested in the Dropshipping model. In addition, you can filter your region to find companies that are sourced in your country to avoid tariffs and long shipping times.
Keep in mind, please refrain from:
Asking business owners who their vendors/suppliers are
Being unprofessional when contacting vendors (English is not their first language so there might be a language barrier)
