Your team in Shanghai: suppliers, quality control, business trips
We are based in Shanghai. We go to the factories ourselves, speak to manufacturers in Chinese and keep control of your order until it ships. Every step is checked, from choosing the factory to handing over the cargo.

What we do
Trade
Sourcing and manufacturing in China
We find a factory that fits your specs, audit it on site and control the batch until it ships. You get goods that match the specification.
How it works
Business Missions
Business trips to China
We organize factory visits and negotiations with Chinese companies. You get clear communication and access at the right level, from plant managers to government officials. You leave with contacts, meeting minutes and a plan for next steps.
Trip formats
Consulting
China consulting
We look at your China project before you commit money: the market, the partners, the production. You get clear options for moving forward, so you can make the call.
What we cover
Why clients trust us
We built a 50,000 m² technology park near Shanghai and raised $30 million in investment for it. That is how we know manufacturing from the inside, from the shop floor to the bank. We bring this experience to every purchase, every trip and every project.
- 20+ years — our founder has lived and worked in China
- Our own team on the ground in Shanghai
- Direct access — city and provincial leadership across China, the Shanghai Municipal Government, the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC
- We check in person — we go to the factories ourselves
These relationships work for our clients, whether the task is finding a factory or reaching the right people in Chinese institutions.

Case studies
Sverdlovsk Region delegation during the Russian President’s visit to China
During the Russian President’s official visit to China, we supported the Sverdlovsk Region delegation. We arranged negotiations and contacts with Chinese government officials and businesses. The visit ended with concrete agreements and a memorandum on a logistics hub.
China International Import Expo and the Hongqiao Forum
For three years running, 2019 to 2021, we ran our client’s participation in the China International Import Expo and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum from start to finish: the stand, the business program, a PR campaign in leading Chinese media, and the owner’s attendance at the opening ceremony and top-level events. The result: agreements signed with the Shanghai Municipal Government and Chinese provinces, and contracts with customers.
