Seven skills between your idea and your warehouse.

Finding a supplier online takes minutes. Finding one that still delivers the right quality, on time, six months from now takes people on the ground. That’s us: in the factory, speaking Chinese, on your side of the table.

Every product has a hometown.

Chinese manufacturing is built around specialised towns, each making one thing at a scale nowhere else can match. We go straight to the right one, so you pay the factory price, not a trader’s.

Port-to-port times as of November 2026. Most Asia–Europe services still sail around the Cape of Good Hope while carriers return to Suez, with a full return expected in early 2027. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed to container ships since March 2026, so UAE cargo lands at Khor Fakkan and goes on by truck. Sailing times change with carrier schedules and canal routing. Shared-container (LCL) cargo usually adds 3–7 days. Import duty depends on the product's HS code and its origin.
