Sourcing & factory fit
We match you to the right factory for the product, order size, and quality bar—not a generic vendor list. Typical runs sit around 500–6,000 pcs; larger programmes are possible when the project fits.
Production & QC
Sampling, purchase orders, inline checks, AQL inspections, and compliance support for EU imports. We build long-term supplier relationships and bring in third-party inspectors when your spec demands it.
Logistics & delivery options
FOB, CIF, and delivered-to-door solutions through trusted partners—including cooperation with a German import company for clearance and downstream distribution in Germany when that is the right setup.
How we work
How a project moves
A clear sequence so expectations stay aligned from first call to delivery.
- 01
Initial consultation
We align on product, budget, timeline, and what “good” looks like for your market.
- 02
Needs assessment
We translate that into a sourcing brief: materials, finishes, compliance triggers, and logistics preferences.
- 03
Factory sourcing
We shortlist and qualify factories in Mainland China for fit, capacity, and cost-efficiency.
- 04
Sampling
Prototype rounds until the product matches your spec and your brand.
- 05
Purchase order
Commercial terms, production schedule, and QC plan locked before bulk starts.
- 06
Quality control
Inline monitoring, AQL inspections, and—where needed—testing or certification sourcing to match EU import requirements.
- 07
Logistics
We coordinate the best transport option for your deadline and budget—FOB, CIF, or door-to-door with the right partners.
