Sourcing, handled in China

Finding suppliers in China isn't difficult — most product categories have hundreds of listings. Identifying which manufacturers can actually meet your specification, price and delivery requirements is harder, especially without someone checking the details directly.

Send us your specification and we identify suitable manufacturers, obtain comparable quotations, and negotiate pricing and terms directly with them in Mandarin. We check the basic company information behind each candidate and give you a shortlist with our recommendation — not a stack of unfiltered contacts.

If a supplier needs deeper verification before you commit, we can arrange an on-site factory audit separately.

Yes. We can negotiate on your behalf, check basic company information, and coordinate samples with a supplier you've already identified.

We prioritise factories, since that removes a margin layer and gives you a direct line to production. If the best fit turns out to be a trading company, we tell you so explicitly rather than presenting it as a factory.

€5,000 minimum. Below that, sourcing overhead usually doesn't pay off, and we'll say so rather than take on a project that isn't a good fit.

Alibaba lets you browse what suppliers list about themselves. As a China-based sourcing team, we contact manufacturers directly, negotiate pricing and terms, and check the company behind each one before you commit — whether you're starting from scratch or already have a supplier in mind.
