Whatever you buy from India, the process is the same: shortlist, audit, test, negotiate, inspect, ship. One approved manufacturer and one backup per product.
We do not work from a fixed product list. Tell us what you need to buy from India and we follow the same process every time: identify the genuine manufacturers, audit them, test what they produce, negotiate on your behalf, and oversee the order until it is loaded into the container.

Three kinds of buying
Raw and bulk commodities
Grown, dried, milled or graded to your spec and packed in bulk for container loads. The work here is grade control, moisture and contamination testing, seasonal price booking and loading supervision, since a short-weight or off-grade container is the usual failure.
Processed and packed products
Finished goods from audited manufacturers, in your pack sizes and with your documents. The work here is factory audits, packing and marking checks, shelf-life and labelling rules for your market, and pre-shipment inspection.
Your brand, made in India
Private label and custom packaging, consolidated across suppliers into one shipment. The work here is artwork and pack spec, labelling compliance for your country, proof approval before printing, and consolidation so one container carries several lines.
How we qualify a supplier
Registrations
Export licence, company registration, tax registration and any sector certificates checked against the registers, not the brochure.
Manufacturer, not trader
We visit. A trader presenting as a factory is the most common problem in India, and a visit settles it.
Capacity and references
Can they make your volume on time, and who else do they make it for? We ask, and we check.
Samples and tests
Sealed, coded samples to an NABL-accredited lab. The sample you approve is the standard every lot is checked against.
One approved, one backup
Every product gets an approved manufacturer and a qualified backup, so a bad season at one factory is not a crisis.
To start
Tell us the product, the spec and the volume. We'll tell you what it should cost from India, what to test for and where the risks are. No fee, no obligation, and you keep the notes.
