About Shadstone Associates
Shadstone Associates, Inc. is a privately held business with quality relationships in China and the United States. It was established to provide American manufacturers an easy entry into Chinese manufacturing & assembly.
Many large American manufacturers have been taking advantage of the lower labor and materials costs for years, however, certain barriers have made it cost ineffective for small to mid-size American manufacturers to capitalize on this new emerging manufacturing center.
Shadstone's Mission Statement
Our mission is to create outstanding value for our customers in their sourcing needs by providing exemplary service through proactive communications and negotiations, and upholding the highest degree of professionalism in deriving custom sourcing solutions.
We will aggressively pursue this goal by adhering to the following guidelines:
- Providing informed, customer centered, consultation whenever requested by or we feel it would be beneficial to our customers including but not limited to design and concept development.
- Fostering an environment promoting lasting relationships with our clients by constantly and consistently seeking products and ideas our customers may desire based on their previous transactions with us.
Doing business in China can be daunting. Shadstone Sourcing takes the mystery out of doing business in Asia for the small to mid-size manufacturers. Language, cultural, legal, and political barriers are a challenge. However, Shadstone Sourcing will make your experience in the Chinese manufacturing arena a profitable one!

What Shadstone Stands for |
There are a few interpretations of the name Shadstone at the company. The best way we present it to the public is such:
"Shad" represents Shadstone as being the shadow of one's business - we will work closely with clients in sourcing quality goods that are crucial for that business's overall success - and yet that client's end customer will never see or hear the Shadstone name.
"Stone" represents Shadstone as the rock, the foundation for our client's overall profitability and success. Our performance is based on the success of our client base....as in today's international business world, one cannot only exist to survive...but to THRIVE! Shadstone Sourcing will be the rock that you can come to rely upon. |
