ONE TEAM, END TO END
China sourcing services from factory search to shipment release.
When you cannot visit in person, our team checks the supplier's identity, production environment and practical capability on the ground.
From OEM and ODM details to new moulds, samples and packaging, we coordinate the work needed to turn an idea into a production-ready product.
A dedicated order-following team tracks milestones, keeps communication moving and surfaces issues before they become shipment delays.
Our QC team performs on-site checks against the agreed specification and uses AQL sampling for pre-shipment inspection where appropriate.
We coordinate trusted freight partners, consolidation and shipping arrangements across EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP trade terms.

The final MOQ is set by each factory, but we negotiate for the lowest practical quantity and look for options suited to SMEs, startups and product testing.
