Engineering control over your China supply

Sound familiar?

You may never have planned to work with China. But if you recognise your situation, we solve it.

• I buy from a distributor, but it's made in China anyway: We find the actual manufacturer and buy direct, with an on-site check
• A part was discontinued, we wait months for spares: We make an equivalent from a sample or drawing, with dimensions and material checked
• It's expensive at home, or nobody takes a complex part or a small run: We find a factory that fits your technology and volume
• I have an idea or a prototype but no production: We take it to drawings, a golden sample and series
• My supplier misses deadlines and quality: We inspect on site and fix the chain or find a replacement
• I need a whole line or heavy equipment: We select it, inspect it at the factory and deliver it to your site

Complex work — our job

We master the product design, match every critical unit to a specialized factory, and accept results by protocol.

Electronics and microchips

Need a board that's long out of sale and production? We'll restore and redesign it, find the factory and make the batch.

• Control boards and controllers
• Boards for industrial equipment
• Power supplies and drivers

Machinery and mechanics

Need a machinery unit or a complex engineering instrument? We'll find the maker and order it to your requirements.

• Units for farm and construction machinery
• Gearboxes, hydraulics, transmissions
• Engineering instruments and test rigs

Complex moulds

Need a complex mould? We'll find the toolmaker, make the mould and run the trial shots.

• Multi-cavity moulds for plastics
• Die-casting moulds for metal
• Stamping dies and tooling

Lines and contractors

Need a whole line built from units by different factories? We'll bring in the contractors for your project and sync their deliveries.

• Processing lines and crushing plants
• Conveyors and steel structures
• Line electrics and automation

Robotics and automation

Need a robot arm or a robotic cell? We'll pick the units and makers and put together the set for your task.

• Robot arms and robotic cells
• Reducers and servo drives
• Control and safety systems

Any complex product

Don't see your industry? It doesn't have to be on a list. We study how your product is built, split it into units and find the right factory for each.

• Machines and units to your drawings or sample
• Metal structures, vessels, piping, enclosures
• Energy, food, chemical, mining, medical, transport

Your product is harder? We'll master it. These are examples, not a list of niches. The principle is the same: we study how the product works, the standards and the drawings, then check every component. A new niche is studied through its standards and drawings before we go to the factory.

Find a product or equipment

We match a factory to your product or equipment and personally verify that it actually manufactures.

• Product review: We study the spec, drawings and photos, and understand the product before looking for a plant.
• Shortlisting: We cut out traders, showrooms and one-season “factories”.
• On-site check: Legal entity, site, capacity, equipment — in person and on video.
• Samples & terms: We compare samples, prices and lead times, and give a recommendation.

Set up production

We build the chain for the task — raw materials, components, the plant — and run production from sample to series.

• Engineering review: Drawings, tolerances, materials — requirements locked before launch.
• Supply chain build: We select the plant and the raw-material and component suppliers.
• Sample & refinement: We bring the sample to spec and lock it as the golden sample.
• Series control: We are present at critical stages and check the series against the golden sample.

Inspect a factory or batch

We verify the supplier before you pay and the batch before it ships. Cargo leaves only after control.

• Legal entity check: Status, company age, whether it is a real manufacturer.
• Factory visit: We see the shop floor, equipment and people — and film it.
• Batch control: We check goods against the spec and sample before dispatch.
• Decision: Nothing leaves the factory without our inspection. If quality doesn't meet the spec, the batch isn't shipped.

Build a supply chain

Factory, control, packing, documents and logistics — one managed chain with a predictable landed cost.

• Landed cost: Landed Cost / DDP calculated upfront, not after arrival.
• Packing & loading: We control packing, labeling and cargo securing.
• Documents: Documents and certificates for your country are issued by vetted brokers — we find them and handle everything with them.
• Delivery: Logistics to your warehouse with one accountable operator.

What you're told — and what it means

A two-minute intermission, no exaggeration. Every frame is something that really happened to us more than once and cost time, money and serious expense.

• We found a factory at a trade show — The booth was rented to collect deposits. We check the legal entity and visit the site before any deposit
• It's my friend's factory — A hidden mark-up for “friendship”. We work directly with the factory, with no hidden mark-ups or factory commissions
• An agency will find the best factory — Kickbacks decide. We take no commission from factories: we choose production for your product
• New equipment at a low price — Refurbished used kit, freshly painted. We inspect equipment on site: assemblies, nameplates, signs of repair
• We had tea with the owner in his office — A middleman was in the boss's chair. We match the contracting entity with the owner of the plant
• We pay the factory directly by invoice — The invoice comes from a trading front. We confirm the invoicing company is the one that produces, before payment
• The factory guarantees the standards — A fake or borrowed certificate. We check certificates against registries and your model before payment
• The sample is great — the batch will match — Materials quietly downgraded after approval. We fix a golden sample and control the series on the line
• We signed an NDA — it's safe — Your spec goes to dozens of subcontractors. We sign an NDA with you and agree on protection measures at the factories
• The goods were inspected before shipping — The QC report shows another batch. Our own batch inspection with photos and video before shipping
• Delivery to port is included — Port demurrage and broker fees. We calculate Landed Cost / DDP before payment

Terms on paper

Not promises in a chat, but clauses of a contract.

• Contract: We work under a formal contract: scope, deadlines and liability are set before we start.
• Staged payment: You pay for a specific stage — sourcing, inspection, supervision — not the full amount upfront.
• Report at every stage: After each stage you get a report with photos, video and a conclusion. The next step is your call.
• Legal entity: We operate as a legal entity: company details and registration documents are sent to you directly before the contract is signed.
• Your design stays yours: NDA with you before we see drawings; with factories, an NNN agreement enforceable under Chinese law. Complex products are split across shops, so no factory sees the whole. Tooling ownership is fixed by contract.

Your eyes and hands on the Chinese side

We are a family team, not an agency with a stream of account managers. Andrey leads the product side and on-site inspections, Diana handles negotiations with factories. Our vetted staff also visit sites, but the final inspection is always ours. In 13 years in this market we have learned the main thing: only the long game wins. Our job is to be your eyes and hands on the Chinese side — from finding the factory to releasing the batch into logistics.

The essentials

How much does it cost?

A fixed price per stage, agreed before we start. An on-site factory or equipment audit before you pay the supplier starts at $1,200: legal-entity and registry checks, an engineer on site, and a photo and video report. Sourcing and production supervision is for orders from $20,000; the quote follows the free review of your task.

What should I send first?

Whatever you have: drawings or a spec, product photos, the supplier's invoice or quote, a QC report, certificates. The more data, the more accurate the risk assessment.

How fast will I see results?

In the first 7–14 days: task review, a risk audit, a decision — fix the current supplier or find a new one — and an operational route with clear responsibilities.

How are you different from a sourcing agent?

Agents often pick a factory based on their own commission. We don't work on hidden factory commissions and choose production for your product and your risks.

Which countries do you ship to?

Anywhere in the world. Customs and certificates are handled by vetted brokers — we find them and manage everything with them for you. Cargo is inspected before shipping, and we run logistics to your warehouse.
