Find the right factories.
Manage the China side.

The buyer approached GlobalWay with its air cooler requirements and plans for a substantial order. The assignment involved identifying suitable manufacturers, organising the buyer’s visit and providing local support through purchasing and order follow-up.

GlobalWay researched and shortlisted factories in the Ningbo–Cixi area before the visit, then arranged appointments so the buyer could meet manufacturers and review products directly.
