Company introduction

Sourcing equipment from China.

Sourcing equipment from China sounds easy. The execution is what's difficult, especially for smaller teams.

Before you buy, it's hard to find equipment that matches your spec and to negotiate on a workable timeline. After it lands, support gets harder right when you need it most.

Hutchins Industrial Sourcing is focused on solving these issues. We provide fast, reliable information along with sourcing advice and recommendations. We work with you to find the right supplier.

Our supplier network came out of years of project execution with major infrastructure partners, on work like a pumped storage hydropower station and the revitalization of an outdated commercial district. The same network extends across the process side. Through experience building chemical process systems, we have sourced water treatment and mineral processing equipment direct from the factories. We know who delivers, who needs follow-up, and who to call when something goes wrong.

Every inquiry starts with me. I'm Spencer, a chemical process engineer, and I've spent my career developing processes and commissioning plants. I read the spec and work through the commercial terms with you. Our China-based partner handles everything on the ground, from factory visits to quality control. Having someone in each time zone means the work keeps moving overnight, and you stay with the same point of contact throughout.
