Specialized Sourcing Solutions
With several decades of experience, we have developed relationships with a large network of suppliers, providing our clients with an exceptional variety of products and services. Our proven experience in global sourcing enables us to conduct thorough market assessments and recommend the best fit, tailored to your specific needs and location.
For one-of-a-kind projects, our manufacturer database allows us to contact accessory factories, request a catalogue (if one is not already on file), and begin discussing various options with our client. If a product or raw material is not available, we work with the manufacturer to modify an existing product to meet our client's needs. We can use a client's own labels or names on the products (dependent on product patents). For bespoke products, we can also accommodate color changes, personalized packaging, and so on.
