We are a specialist procurement and supply business based in mainland China also operating from  South Africa.

We offer a turnkey solution and cover all aspects associated in buying product from China, from research, product procurement, product development, quality control/quality checks to all the logistical requirements associated to delivery.

• So it’s research
• Product procurement
• Product development
• Quality control and quality checks
• And then obviously all the logistical requirements associated to get the product to your door.

Our most critical function is to source reliable suppliers whom we can build long term relationships with.

We see ourselves as a value-add, and an extension of our customers business, giving them a footprint in Mainland China. We literally are Your Office In China.

China is an amazing place.

Its incredibly dynamic and to have lived the China experience and to have seen how things have evolved and changed since we first set foot here, is truly mind boggling.

It’s a massive country, with its own huge economy, and what people don’t always realize is that their own consumption is astronomical.

Whenever I meet a new factory I like to ask them what percentage they export vs local sales, and the most common response is that they ONLY export about 30% of their production.

China is a one stop shop. There is very little product that is NOT manufactured in China.

My question to you would be why wouldn’t you?
We are here, involved, on the ground to make sure your business in China happens the way its intended.

I mean who wouldn’t want a friend in business looking after your interests?

Local knowledge and representation in China is key, especially on the Chinese mainland where you’ve got so many potential pitfalls.

We do have specialized fields of expertise and we are continuously growing our knowledge base as we expand our product ranges and supply.

If we are given the right homework, we can pretty much find whatever it is people are looking for, and set-up the supply chain.

China is also not just about heavy industry and factories. There are wholesalers and retailers too and we have used all avenues to source and supply product.

Our team is made-up of some handpicked specialists. We believe that the more solutions we find, the more valuable we will become to the world.

Among others we have some specialized fields such as building products, the agricultural industry, and then we have a department solely focused on the supply of aftermarket spares for the automotive industry, trucks, buses and earth moving equipment.

In most cases there is a manufacturing lead-time associated which could be anything from a week, to a month, to two months for certain products.

Once the goods are ready and depending what product it is and how urgently its required, there are a number of options:

For small parcels / samples we make use of courier companies. The most economical option by far would be sea-freight in containers.

Part of our value add / service offering is that we consolidate a lot of cargo in mixed containers, and in this way saving our customers a lot of money and unnecessary hassle to bring in small or less cargo loads.

The quality of suppliers is of the utmost importance to us.

In the event a problem arises, this is where the relationship with the supplier becomes critically important to find amicable solutions.

We have the legal back-stops in place here in China, but can honestly say that we have not had more than a handful of incidents over 20 years where we had to call for help.

We have always found solutions or taken responsibility for quality issues.

We understand that people trust us to do their work in China and we need to deliver on those expectations.

We also understand why people come to China. In most cases to buy direct and to save money, instead of buying from wholesalers or retailers back home.

We know where we fit in, and that we need to be as lean as possible in this competitive day and age.

Each product is different, and volumes differ so we understand the need to be flexible, and besides, it’s a working relationship, and both parties need to be comfortable working with one another.
