Hi, I am based in Jiangsu, China. I can travel to other manufacturing areas in eastern China if a factory needs to be checked in person. I can help you find suppliers, talk with factories, compare prices and MOQ, and follow up with them during the order process. I can also help with samples, quality checking, private label packaging, product documents and FOB shipping. One thing I want to make clear is that I don’t just search Alibaba or 1688 and send you some links. I will contact the suppliers, check their information, compare the offers and tell you which ones I think are worth considering. If needed, I can visit the factory and check samples or production status. My service fee is clear and I don’t take hidden commission from suppliers. We can start with one product first. If everything goes well, we can continue with more products. For a normal sourcing request, I can usually provide the first supplier shortlist within 3–5 working days. I am interested in long-term cooperation and would be happy to discuss your first product. Best regards, Congming

Categories: Small appliances, apparel, building materials/sanitaryware, and mechanical/engineering goods. 3. Relevant projects: - Grew a small-appliance client's sourcing volume from ~RMB 20M to 70M — owning supplier selection, quotation review, negotiation, and production follow-up. - Scaled an apparel ODM program to ~RMB 10M, as key liaison between client, product development, and factories. - Grew a building materials client's (soundproof/fire-resistant panels) annual procurement from ~RMB 2M to 8M in one year, helping them scale from early-stage to full production. 4.
