We deliver on all fronts.

Your supply chain team in Asia: we take the order, the vendor relationship, and the delivery commitment. You work with one team, under one contract, and your goods are delivered to the destination you nominate, on the terms agreed for that order.

WHAT WE DO

One team between you and the factory

Sourcing, quality, trading, and logistics under one contract. Use a single service or hand us the whole chain.

Sourcing & Supplier Search
Factory search, vetting, negotiation, and samples. You never board a plane. Also available search-only, where you keep the supplier relationship.
Trader of Record
Your purchase order goes to our Hong Kong company. We own the vendor relationship, the goods, and the delivery commitment.
Quality & Manufacturing
Factory audits and a pre-shipment inspection on every order. Design and build to your specification, and sensitive programs split across vendors.
Logistics, Duty & Origin
Consolidation, freight, customs documentation, and duty and origin work, through to delivery at the destination you nominate.
All services
WHO WE WORK WITH

From a first order to a running program

We ship everything from everyday products to large and complex machinery systems. The working habits come from harder industries, and every customer gets them.

First-Time Founders & Importers
We work with businesses and founders, including people placing their first commercial order. You don't need import experience or a supplier list. Bring the idea; a first order can be a single unit, iterated until it's right.
Growing Importers & Brands
You have one supplier and you're adding more. We take over coordination and freight so you can add suppliers without adding headcount.
Distribution Partners
Companies with their own customers who want Metier running sourcing, quality, and logistics behind their brand.
Regulated & Critical Industries
Medical device, automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment, with the audit trail those buyers expect.
Equipment & Machinery Buyers
You need equipment built to do a job rather than picked from a catalogue. Describe what it has to do; we design, build, test, and support it.
SOURCING & ORIGIN

Where things are made matters more than it used to

Trade rules keep moving in every market our customers sell into, and the right country to buy from has become a real question. We buy in China today. On request we evaluate and qualify suppliers in other origins, and we verify the duty treatment for your destination before you commit to an order.

ABOUT

Where we come from

We're colleagues who spent years running manufacturing, quality, and supply chains in Southern China for multinational corporations. Metier applies that experience for companies that don't have their own people on the ground.

Plain answers to important questions

What actually changes country of origin, what a pre-shipment inspection covers, and how to compare quotes across origins. Written the way we'd explain it across a desk, each piece dated when it was last verified.

Answer what you know. Blank is fine.
Please don't send confidential drawings or specifications yet. If the work needs them, we'll put an NDA in place first.
We read it, come back with questions, and give you a view on whether it's worth pursuing before anyone quotes anything.
