04On the tech frontline
Robotics expos.
Industrial arms, humanoids, precision robotics. We are there, just as we are in your factories.
On the ground
Our sourcing network, across China.
Our model
Three levers, one point of contact.
Every engagement is structured around three economic levers. You see exactly what you pay, when, and why.
Monthly retainer
690 € - 1,900 € / month
Ongoing operational oversight: production, inspections, supplier adjustments, weekly check-in. Adjusted to volume.
Commission on volume
6% - 12%
Percentage of the ex-works value. Aligns our compensation with shipped results, not hours billed.
Ranges shown are our typical engagements. Every project is quoted after an initial conversation.
Our commitments
What we commit to.
Four commitments that hold from the very first engagement.
Quality control, your choice
Production follow-up, a reference sample approved with you and, as a priced option on the quote, a pre-shipment inspection by our team or by an independent third party. You choose the level of control the stakes require.
You carry no stock
We pay the suppliers and put our name to the contracts. You pay for goods delivered, nothing else.
One point of contact
From the first sample to unloading, you always work with the same team.
A prompt reply
A first read of your request and clear next steps, usually within two business days.
Client reviews
In our clients’ words.
Every review is read and verified by hand before it is published. Nothing appears here automatically.
