Services

What we do.

We source equipment, chemicals, and materials from manufacturers in China for industrial buyers in the US. You send a spec. We find who actually builds it, run the quotes, and stay on it through inspection at the factory.

What we do

One point of contact, start to finish.

Used together as a full sourcing engagement, or individually where you need us. The technical side is led by a chemical engineer (more on the founder).

01

Supplier discovery & vetting

We work out who actually builds the equipment, using plant evidence, export history and public filings. We have walked factories in China ourselves, and where an order justifies a visit we arrange one. Our register covers 80+ suppliers across 20 equipment categories.

02

Technical sourcing, RFQs & negotiation

We write the spec and run the RFQ across multiple suppliers. Then we level the quotes to one comparable number and negotiate price and terms. US requirements go into the order rather than getting assumed.

03

Procurement & order support

An extension of your procurement function after the order is placed. Documentation, certifications and test reports, and production follow-up while the equipment is being built.

04

Pre-shipment inspection & QC

We check the build against the spec before the equipment leaves the factory, witness testing where it warrants it, and review the certifications and test reports.

05

Ongoing supplier management

For buyers who expect to keep purchasing. We hold the relationship between orders, which is what gets you spare parts, service attention, and a straight answer on lead times.

Process

How we work.

Step 01

You tell us the spec.

We read it the way an engineer reads a spec. If something's missing or ambiguous, we flag it before anything gets quoted.

Step 02

We identify and vet suppliers.

We start with our existing register, then bring in new vendors where the spec calls for it. We arrange factory visits where you want them.

Step 03

We confirm the quote.

You see pricing, supplier details, and what the factory has committed to build before anything moves. Nothing gets ordered on an assumption.

Step 04

We follow through.

Documentation, certifications, and production follow-up, with in-country inspection before goods leave the factory.

What we source

Example offerings.

Categories we source across, from bench and pilot scale up to production. Some clients arrive with a model and a spec. Others want a recommendation, and we work that out with them. If what you need is not listed, ask.

Crushing & grinding

Jaw, cone, and gyratory crushers. SAG mills, ball mills, vertical roller mills. High-pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs), mobile crushing stations.

Separation & ore sorting

High-gradient and drum magnetic separators, overhead magnets and iron removers, eddy-current separators, XRT and NIR ore sorters, spiral classifiers and hydrocyclones.

Drilling

Core and exploratory drilling rigs, down-the-hole (DTH) and blast-hole rigs, underground jumbos, raise borers, tunnel boring machines.

Hauling & earthmoving

Mining dump trucks, underground locomotives, long-distance belt conveyors, excavators, dozers, graders, telehandlers, pavers.

Hydrometallurgy & process plant

High-pressure acid leach (HPAL) autoclaves, solvent extraction–electrowinning (SX-EW) plants, leach tanks and CSTRs, transformer rectifiers.

Process & lab equipment

Jacketed glass reactors and nutsche filter reactors, heater-chiller temperature control units and recirculating chillers, plate-and-frame and membrane filter presses, bag filters, overhead stirrers and agitators, handheld XRF and fusion sample prep.

Process chemicals & metals

Lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, recycled NCM and metal scrap feedstocks, thiourea, flotation and solvent-extraction reagents, sulfuric acid, caustic soda, lime.

Water treatment

Dissolved air flotation units, lamella clarifiers, screw presses and screw conveyors.

Where we're useful

Industries we work in.

Mining & minerals processing

Pit to plant: comminution, separation, hydromet, reagents, haulage.

Battery materials & critical-minerals recycling

Feedstocks, process equipment, and analytical instruments for recyclers and refiners.

Chemical & cleantech process plants

The same sourcing discipline from bench and pilot scale up to production.

Heavy civil infrastructure

Tunneling, earthmoving, and site equipment from manufacturers that supply major projects in China.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Do you have a minimum order size?

It depends on the product. Tell us what you need and we will say quickly whether it is a fit.

Can you help with shipping?

Tell us what you need and we will see what is possible. We work with shipping partners and can help you find one.

Can you source things not listed on this page?

If it shows up in an industrial plant or on a heavy civil site, probably yes. The lists on this page are examples of what we have worked on. Ask about anything else.

How do you handle tariffs and duties?

We help you build up the landed cost so you can compare options properly. For the customs and legal side we work alongside your broker.

Can you help with US compliance requirements?

Yes. We work out what your equipment has to meet for the US market and get those requirements written into the factory order rather than assumed. Where something needs a certified body or a listing we cannot provide, we tell you up front.

Do you ever recommend not buying from China?

Yes. Some categories do not make sense to source from China. Safety equipment without UL or CSA listings is one example. When China is not the right source, we say so.

Tell us what you need.

Send us your spec. We will find it from the right supplier and hold the factory to what it committed to build.
