Source From China With an Operator on Your Side
China still offers unmatched scale, capability and component depth — if you can navigate it. I help you tap that without inheriting the risk. Led by Wesley Clayton — 15 years importing and producing across China and Vietnam (apparel, medical scrubs, hi-viz, activewear, footwear and PPE).
China's Scale Cuts Both Ways
The same scale that makes China powerful also makes it easy to end up with the wrong factory, a hidden subcontractor, or a quote that becomes expensive later.
Vast and Hard to Navigate
Endless options, huge variance in quality, and plenty of intermediaries in between.
Distance and Communication
Time zones, language and culture turn small misunderstandings into costly mistakes.
Quality and IP Risk
Without oversight, quality drifts and your designs aren't always protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
China or Vietnam — which should I use?
It depends on category, volume, cost and risk. I source in both and help you choose the right fit — or split across them.
Can you help if I already produce in China?
Yes — I can vet your current factory, improve oversight, or help you diversify.
Do you handle IP protection?
I help you structure relationships and agreements to reduce IP risk, and flag factories where it's a concern.
Is there a minimum engagement?
No fixed minimum — I can support the full journey or a single stage where you need help.
