Your hardware, made right in China.
We help founders realise, source and cost-optimise their hardware on the ground in China, when you are designing a new generation, scaling volume, or stuck with the wrong supplier.
01 · The Problem
You are likely running into one of these problems
We get you out of uncomfortable manufacturing situations, with local expertise, local language, and better connections to find the right manufacturer for your product. Select the one you recognise.
Case 01
Looking to manufacture or design a new product?
- The tooling and suppliers you choose at this moment lock in your cost and quality for years.
- Design work bought blind from overseas can come back buggy, over-priced and impossible to mass-produce.
- Founders almost never have China capability of their own, and rarely consider it.
“Initial supplier lock-in cost us 35% in margin over two production cycles.” Hardware founder
Case 02
Can’t scale past your supplier?
- The factory you are currently using often cannot carry you to real volume.
- Suppliers overstate capacity and quality; some are traders posing as factories.
- Switching at volume without a vetted backup puts your continuity at risk, and your IP, designs and tooling sit in your supplier’s hands.
“We chose the wrong supplier at the start, and now we cannot expand properly.” Hardware founder
Case 03
Stuck with the wrong supplier?
- Are you overpaying, chasing quality, or stuck with an inadequate contract, or a trader posing as a factory?
- You suspect you are being scammed, but cannot prove it from Europe.
- Chasing quality from a distance is unreliable, takes weeks, requires flights and local connections.
“We got scammed when we were looking for Chinese manufacturers and ended up in the wrong contract.” Hardware founder

06 · Success Stories
Case study: an AI study device, rescued and re-sourced
A European founder, a failed first supplier, and a product that is now better and cheaper than its rivals.
−43% unit costFrom €70 to €40 per unit
10Facilities benchmarked for optimal price-to-tolerance ratios
4Credible factories vetted in person, the rest filtered out
~€12kProfessional design cost, barely more than the failed cheap design, and it worked
Better & cheaperThan competing AI educational products already on the market
Before
The founder paid overseas designers for a design that was buggy, overpriced, and impossible to manufacture. It added nothing to the real product, and it severely blocked his timeline.
What we did
We debugged the prototype through our China network, then visited ten factories, vetted the four credible ones in person, filtered out the ones overstating their ability, and independently picked and secured the best option.
“This would not have happened without him.” Amaury Clerens, European co-founder
