Everything You Need, Sourced From Carefully Selected Companies Who Actively Want To Work With You
-
FMCG or Retail? - Let us connect you to suppliers experienced in high volume B2C operations.
-
Wholesale or Bulk Shipping? - We know plenty of B2B supply chain producers ready to service large orders
There are lots of great producers out there, with great products and great services. Unfortunately they are often not good at presenting themselves, and without great marketing, they can be difficult to identify and engage with. Additionally, even when you do manage to find a good company, they often do not have the experience or ability to work effectively in the export market. This is especially true across Asia, from Turkey to China, where the cultures are raised to seek guaranteed results, in life and in business. This makes them less willing to take risks, such as working with foreigners, or managing complicated export agreements and supply chain partnerships. A flexible approach is required to work with buyers originating in Western cultures, whether in the USA and Canada or the UK and Europe. You need someone to bridge the gap.
This is where we can help you.
We will work with you to find them, qualify them according to agreed selection criteria, work out a winning agreement, whether for a single deal or for an ongoing partnership, and bridge that gap in language, cultural understanding, and business practices, to bring you the results you are looking for.
Food and Drink
Food and drink require standards compliance, cold or dry storage, and rapid and transit. Local suppliers are often able to ship in-country to other cities, but lack the expertise to engage in export.
Automotive and Transport
Companies in the automotive sector making cars or parts for vehicles often operate a just in time (JIT) ordering and logistics process, so specifications and planning are critical.
Defense and Security
The defense industry has many restrictions on both parts and full products, especially around export licencing, resales controls, and usage limitations. They also have interoperability requirements and low tolerance of failure in parts.
Pharmaceuticals
Drug manufacturers are highly regulated, with controls over ingredients, labelling and non-contamination. As the Covid 19 pandemic demonstrated, effective sourcing is critical to positive outcomes.
Chemicals
In addition to control over ingredients, there is also risk management around products which may carry dangers to human or animal life, of pollution for the environment, and of fire or leakage during handling and storage.
Plant, Machinery and Tooling
Ranging from basic and functional to ultra high precision, and from a few millimeters in size up to many tons in weight, it's not a 'one size fits all' market. Attention to detail in sourcing exactly the right equipment or parts will ensure troublefree operation.
Cosmetics and Beauty
Anything which goes into or is applied onto the body meets a wide range of regulations, standards and controls. It is essential to meet labelling, ingredients, instructions and sales restrictions.
Agriculture
Fruit, vegetables, grains and crops are to some degree perishable and have limited time to market. Meat and fish require cold storage and transportation, and specific packaging. All of these are subject to controls over bio-chemical modifications inside them, and to pesticide and chemical controls applied to them.
Mining and Construction
Raw materials come in powder, loose stone, cut blocks or manufactured blocks. They range from natural stone such as granite, marble, coal, or limestone, to processed materials such as cement and concrete. There are issues around quality control, and large volume dry bulk shipping.
Textiles, Clothing, Carpets
These are all subject to controls over chemicals used in manufacture, and the separation between natural and synthetic materials. At the point of sale, they are also required to be labelled for cleaning processes, and for fire safety.
Furniture
Shipped as finished complete items, or in kit form for assembly. Made from wood, textile, metals and plastics, and coming in a range of sizes, finishes and decoration. They may be controlled for fire safety, or for sustainability of materials.
Glass, Steel, Plastics
Iron, steel, aluminium, manufactured in bar, sheet, ingot, block and strip form. Varying quality controls apply, both for finished and unfinished product. The same is true for glass and plastic, again with certification standards and usage guidelines.
Jewellery, Gold, Silver
From bare ingots, to components, to finished high grade jewellery, gold and silver are also used in a wide range of industrial processes. There are certification and quality controls, and in some cases export licences.
Medical and Healthcare
Medical supplies include basics such as masks, gloves, syringes, medical clothing, bedding and cleaning products. They extend into low technology devices such as sterilization machines, up to high technology devices like centrifuges and laboratory equipment.
Professional Services
Professional services are always in demand in local regions, and now in the age of globalization they are essential in helping business to navigate international trade. Accounting, legal and consulting services come in many sub-disciplines and specialisations.
Wood and Forestry
Forestry plays a large part in many other industries such as construction, energy, paper, agriculture, and tourism. Forestry management allows for natural forests to be maintained, and for the farming of newly planted forests to ensure sustainability. Certifications for these are increasingly required, as is documentation verifying the levels of genetic modification, pesticides, and chemical treatments after cutting and processing.
Computing, High Technology, Electronic
No industry is left untouched by computing. Software, especially the rising artificial intelligence, changes how everything else works. From relatively low technology mass produced components, to the memory chips and processors that drive modern life, components need to be sourced for price, compatibility, interoperability and upgradability. CE marking and other global quality certifications must be verified and labelled, as must hazardous waste disposal and safe recycling considerations.
Electrical, Mechanical
Since South East Asia became the low cost manufacturing centre of the world, trade flows are generally east to west. The wealthy North American and European markets impose a lot of safety, quality and safe disposal or recycling requirements, and household and industrial electrical devices need CE and other standards certification. For mechanical devices it is more balanced, with cheaper items similarly shipping east to west, but precision high technology items more often shipping from west to east.
Telecommunications
Telecommunications is the enabler of globalization and the internet age. High technology equipment is required to manage voice and data flows at the exchanges, and to ensure security of information. Businesses and consumers require simpler, often disposable devices, such as modems and mobile phones. As telecommunications companies and national providers collaborate, services may also be sourced. Equipment needs CE and other certification, and must not emit radio frequencies which harm human health or interfere with the operation of other devices.
Energy and Utilities
Without energy security, no modern economy can function. There is huge exploration and trade in carbon and fossil fuels: wood, coal, oil, and gas. There is equally large research and development in carbon neutral energy technologies: nuclear, wind, thermal, sea, hydro-electric, and solar. This drives huge trade in raw materials, technology, storage, shipping and a multitude of other equipment, parts, supplies and services to ensure the continued operation of every other industry and human activity.
Finance, Banking, Investment
International trade often requires a variety of forms of finance: loans, loan guarantees, credit facilities, insurance, banking facilities, escrow accounts, payment gateways, asset finance, invoice discounting, factoring, exchange rate hedges and a host of other creative tools. When crossing borders, financial expertise at both ends of the deal is important, to ensure smooth operations. Sourcing the right financial services is therefore an important function.
Let's not forget our friends in e-commerce and online selling. Whether you are engaged with online marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, your own online stores, or you are engaged in arbitrage, fulfillment or dropshipping, we understand, and we are here for you.
We are fully conversant with Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, AliXpress, Alibaba, Flipkart, Shopify, and personal stores like WooCommerce and thousands of similar platforms. We don't care how big you are, or how small you are, we are interested to be of service if you are looking for a fresh product line, a new source, or a fresh idea. We have a lot of technology at our fingertips, with access to data and trends that may reveal why something in your product line is not working, and what to do about it.

Business Goals
Our Strategies Are Based On Customer's Goals
This is not a 'one size fits all' service. We offer a customized service to meet each client's specific and particular needs. Obviously, a perfect match may not always be possible, but we have great track record, and we always strive to achieve client success and satisfaction.
Get Qualified Leads and Offers
It is extremely tiring and time consuming to find, contact and reject supplier after supplier, and product after product. Let us get you one or more qualified and suitable offers, quickly, and work up a few more for comparison or as backup.
Convert Them into Partners
Persuading someone to do a deal, on terms you can both agree, is not always easy. There are many nuances in negotiating the financial, logistical and cultural aspects of each deal. To elevate that into a working partnership requires patience, to build up trust and respect, and to overcome the many bumps in the road as you learn each other's ways of working and solve issues together. We can help you to speed that up, reducing your time and cost so you can get to market faster.
Start Selling to Your Customers
Now you have your deal, or even better your partnership bringing regular deals, you need to smooth out the processes and get some systems in place. We can assist you to get everything flowing optimally, and to maintain and develop those profitable trading relationships for your long-term benefit.
Our Method
How We Work
We have two primary ways of working with clients. The first is a pure consulting role. Here we act as a search and selection agency, finding suitable offers for each client to accept. We find you people products and services, set the terms of engagement, and pass them to you for your own negotiations and contracts. The second way is a full sourcing agent. Here we find suitable offers, but we remain as the intermediary and manage the suppliers for you.
Gathering Client Requirements
Every new client, and every new project with any client, requires the development of a common understanding of the key criteria and success factors of the project. Once these are encoded into a schedule of terms for the client agreement, we can move forward.
Sourcing Project Launch
With this briefing completed, we initiate our search into the relevant market. The time taken to first results will reflect the strength of our existing network, which is excellent in Turkey, Germany, and most of Europe, and good in the Middle East and major Asian countries such as China, Japan, India, Indonesia and Iran.
Communications and Progress to Goal
Now that we are actively scouring our the markets and our networks for offers which fit our client brief, we will provide periodic progress updates. As results appear they will be qualified, processed and passed to the client. For consulting agreements the client is now in control, for sourcing agreements we will now engage and begin supply.
What Are You Waiting For?
You've reached the end. It is now time to make a decision. You've seen the markets we service, our focus on making our partnerships successful, and the processes we follow. There's a lot more to tell, but a website can't replace a discussion. If you have read this far, you should have understood whether Globally Sourceable is a potential fit for your business requirements. You may even have reached the conclusion that your existing options could at least be supplemented by adding a new partner, whether generally, or for special projects.
