TLSourcing

Buying agent · China · Korea · Vietnam

Price and MOQ are ten percent. The rest is trust.

Why does one buyer get a competitive quote while another never even hears back? Because ninety percent of doing business in Asia is invisible: trust, culture, relationships. That is exactly where we work — so that an enquiry turns into a manufacturer who takes you seriously.

Who we expect here

Two ways through this site.

We work on both sides of the table. On one side are buyers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; on the other, factories in China, Korea and Vietnam. Take the path that belongs to you.

You want a product sourced

You have a product idea, a drawing or a sample — and you need a manufacturer who delivers it reliably and at consistent quality. We handle the search, the verification and the follow-through.

You are a manufacturer we contacted

Then this page tells you who we are, who we buy for, and what we need in order to give you a serious answer. It saves you two rounds of email — and us as well.

Information for manufacturers

Why go through us

The relationship with your manufacturer is yours. We build it.

A good intermediary does not make himself important by controlling the contact — but by the fact that without him, no contact would have come about at all. That is our standard.

01

Why some never hear back

Two sellers write to the same manufacturer. One gets a quote, the other not even a reply. The difference is written in no price list: it lies in how an enquiry arrives, and in whom the manufacturer trusts. That difference is what we make.

02

A direct line, not a black box

You speak with your manufacturer, not only with us. That is how you get to know your product where it is made — materials, production, variants. We translate, put things in context, and catch what would otherwise be lost between the cultures.

03

On the ground before money moves

Our own contacts in China and Vietnam; in Korea we negotiate in Korean. Before the first order we establish who actually manufactures, and we order samples. Only when the facts hold do you make the decision.

Services

From the search to inspection before shipment.

Take all of it or single parts. If you already have a manufacturer and only need quality control, that is exactly what you get.

Process

Six steps, in this order.

No step gets skipped because something is urgent. What goes wrong at the end was almost always cut short at the beginning.

In the end you know your manufacturer. Not just us.

We build the direct relationship between you and your factory — and it is yours to keep. A short call is enough to judge whether we are the right partner. If we are not, we will say so.
