China Sourcing Partner for Automation Parts — Joint Automation

How is a sourcing partner different from a stock distributor?

Many suppliers lead with what they hold and ship the same day. What you actually need is someone who screens the Chinese market on your behalf.

Typical stock-based distributor

Sells only what it holds

  • ✕Covers only the part numbers it holds; anything else is declined
  • ✕Each brand means another supplier, another order and another freight charge
  • ✕Obsolete and legacy part numbers are largely out of reach
  • ✕Source and authenticity are self-declared, with no independent check
  • ✕Export documents, consolidation and packing are left to you

Sources against your list

  • ✓Part number sourcing that is not limited by owned stock
  • ✓Multi-brand consolidation into one order, one shipment and one contact
  • ✓Specialised in obsolete and hard-to-find parts, with alternative part proposals
  • ✓Channel verification plus pre-shipment inspection, with condition stated honestly

Our position: a sourcing partner in China for overseas buyers — we source, compare prices, verify authenticity, follow the order, handle customs, pack and ship, rather than asking you to fit our inventory.

Seven things we handle for you

From a single part number to a complete BOM, the value of a sourcing partner is turning a complex Chinese supply chain into a deliverable result.

🧩

Multi-Brand Order Consolidation

Parts from Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Omron and other brands are combined into one purchase order and one shipment, cutting communication overhead and freight cost.

🔍

Part Number Sourcing & Obsolete Parts

Line-by-line sourcing by part number, covering active, discontinued and legacy equipment parts, with workable alternative part numbers where available.

🛡️

Authenticity Verification

We check supplier credentials and lot origin, verify labels, serial numbers and packaging, and state new, refurbished or pulled condition as it is.

🔬

Pre-Shipment Inspection

Visual inspection, packaging integrity and functional testing where required, with inspection records and real photos available on request.

📦

Consolidation, Packing & Export Documentation

Multi-supplier consolidation, ESD-safe and reinforced packing, together with commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and customs paperwork.

🔓

Not Limited by Owned Stock

We do not build our business on holding inventory. Goods come from a vetted network of channels, which is why we can take on part numbers others decline.

🔌

Cable & Connector Sourcing

Industrial cable, circular connectors, terminal blocks and harness accessories, including custom assemblies sourced against drawings or samples.

💬

One Point of Contact

A single dedicated contact follows every enquiry, with progress, exceptions and documents reported in one place instead of relayed between several suppliers.

📄

Transparent Quotations & Lead Times

Quotations state brand, part number, condition, quantity, unit price and estimated lead time; alternates and obsolete items are flagged separately, with no vague promises.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions overseas buyers ask most about sourcing, verification, documents and delivery.

We are a sourcing partner. Our work is multi-brand sourcing, price comparison, authenticity verification, order follow-up, customs clearance, consolidation, packing and logistics — not selling from our own inventory. So we do not claim to have every part number on hand, but we can source against your list, including obsolete parts that others decline.

Yes. A single part number, even a single unit, can be quoted; the answer depends on the channel's minimum pack size and order quantity. Consolidating multiple part numbers usually spreads freight and handling cost and works out cheaper overall.

We check supplier credentials and lot origin, inspect original labels, serial numbers, packaging and anti-counterfeit features, and carry out visual and functional checks before shipment. Refurbished or pulled items are stated clearly at quotation stage and are never delivered as new.

This is our most common request. Through a vetted channel network we regularly locate discontinued parts such as Siemens S5 and ABB ACS600; if a part genuinely cannot be found, we propose a specification-matched alternative for your approval.

Routine enquiries receive a line-item quotation and estimated lead times within 24 hours; rare or obsolete part numbers may take 1–3 working days to confirm supply. Lead times are listed item by item on the quotation, never merged into one vague figure.

Depending on destination and trade terms: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (CO), customs declaration documents and any other paperwork the carrier requires, plus third-party inspection reports where needed.

Telegraphic transfer (T/T) is standard, with multi-currency settlement available by agreement. Long-term customers can discuss more flexible arrangements, subject to the terms on the quotation.

Yes. Send drawings, samples or a wiring definition and we can evaluate custom harness and connector solutions, including prototypes, volume production and pre-shipment testing.
