Strategic Import Export & Sourcing in Asia

Import Export Business for small to mid-size manufacturers


We partner with small to mid-size American manufacturers to import, export, or source quality products in China. Simply put, we provide china direct sourcing services. Large American manufacturers are already manufacturing in China. Typically the $20MM or less company does not have the resources (time, money, expertise) to scale their business to accommodate a full-scale facility manufacturing in China.

Sure, you may be importing already (from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or even the mainland), but are you getting the best prices? Are you having quality control issues? Shipping issues? Do you even know who the decision makers are?

That’s where we come in. – We take the fear and mystery out of dealing with the Chinese!
Whether you’re interested in China sourcing, China manufacturing, or doing any China business, we can help.
