Exclusive partnerships, equity stakes in select factories, and demand aggregated across continents. Pricing, quality and reliability a single buyer can't secure alone.
Most sourcing agents live one email away from being replaced. So we did something different: we bought equity stakes in a handful of the factories we source from most — the ones we've stress-tested for years across quality, delivery, and communication.
That equity gives us a seat at their planning tables, priority when capacity is tight, and pricing terms no independent buyer can secure alone. When a bigger client shows up mid-production, your order doesn't get bumped — because we're also on the other side of the table.
Most US brands either go through Alibaba and gamble on a stranger, or hire a freelance agent and hope they don't get a kickback from the factory. We replace both — with a real company, a real team, and a flat % fee.
We buy direct from the people pressing the plastic, sewing the fabric, milling the metal. Every supplier is audited by our own team on the ground.
Your account lead replies in your business hours — not theirs. US ops, EU bridge team, and China sourcing specialists handing off the work as the sun moves. Nothing waits 18 hours for a reply.
For every project, we tap our network of 100+ qualified factories for competitive quotes. Then our on-the-ground team + AI score each one across 50+ indicators — quality, compliance, capability, risk.
You send a product, detailed characteristics, a photo, or a competitor link. We respond in <24h with what's feasible.
Our China team hits our database of 2,500+ vetted factories and requests quotes that same week.
The top factories ship samples to our Shenzhen office first. Our team inspects them, and we forward only the ones that meet spec — saving you weeks of back-and-forth before you touch the product.
MOQs, customization, packaging, payment terms — all handled by us. You pay a flat % on the order value, agreed up front. No hidden markups.
Our team inspects on-site mid-production and pre-shipment. Photo + video report before container loads.
Sea or air freight, customs cleared, and routed straight to your 3PL or warehouse. One invoice in USD covers it all.
From a photo, link, or vague idea — we find the factories that actually make it.
Our team visits in person. Capability, capacity, certifications, ownership check.
Mid-production and pre-shipment inspection. Defect rate report before you pay the balance.
Sea, air, or rail. We handle the bill of lading, customs broker, and duties in USD.
Custom tooling, retail-ready packaging, FNSKU labels, and compliance docs (FCC, FDA, CE) — handled.
Canton Fair, Yiwu, Vietnam Expo — we walk the floor for you and shortlist suppliers.

Sourcing & QC engineers
The people who actually visit factories — fluent in Mandarin and English, on call for every order.
Our co-founder is a recurring speaker at Alibaba's international summits — presenting Asia Sourcing Pros case studies in front of thousands of Chinese suppliers and global buyers. It's how we get the priority callbacks when your order needs to move.
“We tested three agencies before landing on Asia Sourcing Pros. They were the only ones who walked the factory floor on a Saturday because our launch slipped. That's the difference.”
Can't find the answer? Just book the call — we'd rather you ask us directly.
Book a call →No kickbacks. Ever. We charge a flat sourcing fee (or a fixed % above factory cost, agreed up front in writing).
We typically work with brands ordering $30K+ per PO, but we make exceptions for repeat clients and clear roadmaps.
Both. Roughly 60% of our work is private label, including tooling, packaging design, and compliance documentation.
Consumer electronics, home goods, kitchen, fitness, automotive accessories, packaging, promotional. We say no to food, regulated medical, and weapons.
For off-the-shelf products: 4–8 weeks (samples in 2, production in 3–4, shipping in 2–3). For custom / private label: 8–14 weeks depending on tooling and MOQ. We give you a realistic timeline in the first call — not the optimistic version.
If our QC missed it, that's on us. We renegotiate with the factory on your behalf, secure replacements or credits at no extra cost to you, and rebuild the inspection checklist so it doesn't happen twice. We answer for the mistake — you don't.
