Global Sourcing
We hold an international network of manufacturers and suppliers, and we identify suitable products and sources of supply for individual requirements. The starting point is always your specification: the product needed, the quality, the quantity, the delivery date and the destination region.
On that basis we assess sources of supply, obtain quotations, compare terms and support sampling and approval. You receive an offer backed by a supplier we have checked, and you do not have to work through a crowd of unknown vendors yourself.
What sourcing covers
Supplier search and qualification within our network
Requests for quotation, comparison of terms and negotiation
Samples, technical clarification and approval
Order handling, schedule tracking and goods-inwards inspection
Framework agreements and recurring requirements
Distribution & Trade
We market industrial goods on international markets and create lasting connections between producers and commercial buyers. For manufacturers we are the distribution partner who knows the markets, approaches the customers and handles the transaction.
For buyers we are the source of supply that delivers the products of several manufacturers from a single point of contact. Either way, one rule holds: we trade only in goods whose quality and origin we know, and only on terms that both sides can carry.
Custom Solutions
Every sector and every project makes different demands. We therefore develop flexible trading and sourcing solutions matched to the products, the quantities, the specifications and the delivery regions involved.
That may be a one-off purchase for a project, a continuous supply with defined call-off quantities, or opening up a new sales market for an existing product. We establish with you which form of cooperation fits the requirement, and we set the scope, the responsibilities and the terms down in writing.
Typical starting points
- A product is becoming scarce or too expensive in its current sourcing region
- A project needs goods to a particular specification at short notice
- A manufacturer wants to supply a region where it has no contacts
- A buyer wants to consolidate several suppliers through one partner
- A supply chain needs a second source of supply alongside the first
International Logistics
We coordinate the steps along the supply chain and support transport, documentation and delivery on schedule. This covers the choice of transport route, liaison with freight forwarders, commercial and customs documents, and schedule tracking through to handover.
We do not run a fleet of our own. We make sure that the right service providers do the right thing at the right time, and that you know where a shipment stands.
