The Trade Desk
What the desk trades
Industrial goods, sourced and qualified in China and priced landed — trading with the check built in. Send a spec, get a quote from a person.
Custom Small Solar Panels
Tiny custom ETFE panels, 0.1–10 W — any size, shape and voltage, built to your device. Simple to import, and paired with the battery line.
Wide-Temperature Batteries & Storage
Lithium, sodium and LTO that run −50 °C to +80 °C — cells, 12–48 V packs, cold-cranking and solar storage. UL/IEC/UN38.3 certified.
Steel Plant Equipment & Spares
High-speed wire rod, bar and rebar mills and their wear parts, direct from the manufacturer I represent.
Industrial Filtration
Dust-collector cartridges, high-temperature filter bags and sintered plates, sized to your baghouse and your dust.
Industrial Machinery
CNC machines, cranes, motors and compressors — qualified at the factory in Shanghai before you wire a deposit.
Refractory Materials
Bricks, castables and precast shapes for furnaces, ladles and kilns — matched to your thermal profile.
More lines are being added as suppliers are qualified. Need something not listed? Send the spec — if the desk can source and verify it, it will quote it.
Before You Wire a Deposit
Verify the factory before you pay for it.
Buying from a supplier you've never seen? I arrange an independent audit on the ground in China — factory check, pre-shipment inspection, loading supervision — with photo and video proof, before your deposit moves. You don't travel.

On the Ground — Results
Real verification work, delivered for real buyers.
Factory audits, delivered
Referred by a US manufacturing partner. Two full on-site factory audits in China — one in Shenzhen, one in Ningbo. Live verification and a clear go or no-go verdict, with the full report in the buyer's inbox in 24 to 48 hours — before they committed their money.
One buyer, three times
A buyer in the United States came back three times — a contract, then a factory visit, then more work. Repeat business is the only review that counts, and it is the one I care about most.
The core question
Is the factory real?
I stand in the building so my clients don't have to. My own field-app checklist, built for that specific factory — my eyes, my camera, my photos on the floor. I check the factory exists, is owned by who they were told, and can actually build your product, before a single dollar is wired.
What buyers have bought
China trade contracts
NNN, OEM, and sales-agency (commission) agreements — the top three sellers.
On-site factory audits & verification
Delivered in China — Shenzhen and Ningbo. Report in 24 to 48 hours.
Factory visits & sourcing support
Booked by a returning buyer in the United States.
Digital sourcing tools & guides
Used by importers in the United States and Germany.
Real work, for real buyers in the United States, Germany, and here in China.
A US partner sent me a client. It became two completed factory audits. This is the work.

Book a CallHow we work
Trading, with the check built in
Five principles that decide who we engage with, and how.
FIXED FEE
Every engagement is a written scope at a fixed number. No hourly billing. No open-ended retainers that quietly expand.
ON THE GROUND
Factory qualification means a Chinese-speaking operator walks the floor. Not a remote consultant. Not a video call translated into a report.
TRANSPARENT
I work transparently. One deal, one side — I never take money from both the buyer and the seller on the same trade. No games, none of the theater a China trade office is known for. You see the factory on camera, you get the reports from my own field tools, and what I promise goes in the contract. Honest, on the record, verifiable.
NOT A FACTORY
We don't own the plants. We are the desk that qualifies them, prices the goods landed, and stands between you and the deposit until the check is done.
DISCRETION
Names, volumes, and decisions stay confidential. Referenceable cases are shared under NDA only. Most of what we do, you will never read about.
