Who we are

A buying office built for organized retail

We are based in Hangzhou, at the heart of the Yangtze River Delta - one of the densest manufacturing regions in China. Our team combines years of export experience with a clear understanding of how European retail buyers work: promotional calendars, target price points, quality expectations and compliance requirements.

We act as an extension of your buying team - with factories we know personally and transparent cost breakdowns. No middlemen between you and production.

  • Direct factory pricing, with a transparent cost breakdown
  • A compliance file for every SKU - CE, GPSR, REACH as applicable
  • One accountable contact from sampling to delivery
  • Product visuals and data ready for your campaign material

What we do for your categories

End-to-end procurement: from supplier scouting to the container at your distribution centre.

Sourcing & supplier vetting

We identify and qualify factories across Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong - and work only with suppliers we have visited, audited and know personally.

Product development & sampling

From your brief to counter-samples and the golden sample - including private label, custom specifications and packaging development.

Quality control

Inline and final inspections with AQL sampling, plus laboratory testing coordinated with accredited third-party labs.

Compliance & documentation

CE marking, GPSR (EU) 2023/988, REACH and packaging rules: we assemble the technical file so your products enter the EU without surprises.

Logistics & consolidation

Mixed containers, consolidated shipments and the Incoterm that fits your distribution model - FOB, CIF or delivered to your DC.

Campaign & calendar support

We plan production around your promotional calendar, so seasonal collections land in time for the flyer - not after it.
