Sourcing from Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and across Asia
The right supplier for your product is not always in the country you first thought of. We source from across Asia — Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and beyond — and run the whole purchase for you in English, Japanese or Vietnamese: supplier search, comparison, samples, inspection, documents and delivery.
- Malaysia
- Thailand
- Taiwan
- Indonesia
- And elsewhere in Asia
Each Asian manufacturing base has its own strengths. Thailand is known for automotive parts and food processing, Malaysia for electronics and rubber products, Taiwan for electronic components, machinery and precision parts, and Indonesia for furniture, rattan, coffee and other natural materials. These are examples, not limits: tell us what you need, and we find the country and the supplier that fit.
Because we source in Vietnam and Japan as well, we can put suppliers from different countries side by side on the same terms — the same specification, the same Incoterm, the same documents — so you choose on a real comparison rather than on the first quotation that arrives.
The goods can be delivered to Vietnam, to Japan or to wherever you are. Where a free trade agreement applies between the origin and the destination, we arrange the certificate of origin so the preferential duty rate can be claimed.
What this includes
Supplier search across Asia
We look for suppliers in Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia and other Asian countries that actually make your kind of product.
Country-by-country comparison
Quotations from different countries collected on the same specification and terms, so they can be compared line by line.
Samples and quality checks
Samples for your approval, and inspection before shipment — including third-party inspection when you want an independent report.
Documents and certificates of origin
Commercial documents, and the certificate of origin under the applicable free trade agreement where a preferential rate is available.
Delivery anywhere
Shipped to Vietnam, to Japan or to your own country, coordinated with the forwarder of your choice.
One counterpart, three languages
One point of contact for suppliers in several countries, working in English, Japanese and Vietnamese.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries can you source from?
Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia, and other countries across Asia. Tell us the product and we find the country and the supplier that fit.
Can you compare a supplier in Thailand with one in Vietnam?
Yes. We collect quotations from different countries on the same specification, Incoterm and documents, so the comparison is real rather than a comparison of different offers.
Where can the goods be delivered?
To Vietnam, to Japan or to your own country. We coordinate with the forwarder of your choice.
Can we get a preferential duty rate?
Where a free trade agreement applies between the country of origin and the destination and the goods meet its rules of origin, we arrange the certificate of origin so the preferential rate can be claimed.
Which languages do you work in?
English, Japanese and Vietnamese, with one point of contact for suppliers in every country.
