International purchasing support

Purchasing and quality controls in China and Hong Kong

Nowadays it isn't clear how to go about importing and sourcing from China. Chinese trade partners are very well trained and employ a different strategy from their predecessors when it comes to doing business. The new generation does internships abroad and takes international courses. As a result, they are aware that foreigners are interested in their products and services. Given that China is moving from a planned economy to a free market economy, the country increasingly wants to imitate foreign markets and invest in them. Developing a network of reliable partners ("guanxi") is key for long-term success.

To find the right Chinese trade partners and set up a sourcing flow, you can rely on Corpora Sourcing, which has a base in Hong Kong. Our team is made up of experienced Belgian, Chinese and Hong Kong business leaders who are responsible for supervising the following activities from A to Z, working closely with Corpora Finance:
