SERVICES

Are you looking to procure a product or outsource the manufacturing for all or part of your product line?
Together with the Golden Leverage team, you can define your own expectations (requirements, specifications, photos, drawings, video, etc.)
to ensure you get exactly what you need.
You are looking for an OEM product already available on the Chinese market
You lay out the technical specifications of the product you need.
We select Chinese manufacturers who can make the product for you. You can then personalize the OEM product for your brand: logo, color changes, stickers, packaging, etc.
Acting as your appointed external procurement department, Golden Leverage negotiates with the supplier and sets the terms of the contract (price, timeline, payment terms, etc.).
You are developing a brand new product (ODM)
The engineers on the product development team at Golden Leverage will work with our partners to develop the best manufacturing process for your product.
We will locate a factory to design your product and we will conduct a feasibility study. Upon request, we will provide you with a pre-production sample of the product. Golden Leverage will negotiate with the manufacturer to set the terms of the contract, including timelines and payment.

An in-depth study of your import/export project
Are you looking to optimize your purchasing costs and source your product needs from a highly-competitive manufacturing market? Golden Leverage offers you a feasibility study for your project.
In studying your project, we focus on three main points:
Understanding the product so we can find the right supplier
Together we study your product, its production process and its components in all their detail; this information enables us to locate the supplier who will best meet your needs.
Project cost
We offer suggestions and recommendations for your procurement project. Finding the right supplier isn’t enough: after understanding your product needs, we work together to assess volume options to ensure you get the most economically viable solution in terms of your storage costs, procurement dates, annual volume and working capital requirements.
Timeline
We can determine the best transport solution for your needs. Golden Leverage offers various transport options (air, maritime, land) ranging from 1 to 5 weeks, which can be adapted to meet your timeline and budget. Production time depends upon the volume and nature of the product purchased.
Consultancy on standards for factories supplying your products
Do you need a specific product standard, such as ISO, CE, or NF? Golden Leverage assists our clients and our partner factories in standardizing and gaining accreditation for your products, production processes and management procedures.

Golden Leverage offers guided visits of the factories in ourSUPPLIER park and/or visits to other factories selected specifically by you. We can also organize visits to Asia-based trade shows. Golden Leverage will study your needs and propose face-to-face meetings over one or several days. We will handle all the organization necessary for your trip and meetings, including all logistical and administrative details HOTEL, train, plane, etc.), leaving you free to concentrate on your procurement project and identify the best vendor for your needs.

In collaboration with our supplier park, Golden Leverage constantly seeks out and audits new manufacturers. We advise and assist companies in optimizing project procurement safely and economically by avoiding middle-men. In fact we make sure we work directly with the factories and production units. Although a manufacturer search can easily be accomplished online, or via one’s network and professional recommendations, negotiations become a formidable challenge given the language barrier and the way business is conducted in Asia. These obstacles are overcome by the proximity, both technical and cultural, of our buyers to potential vendors. With a bicultural, Sino-French team well-versed in Chinese negotiation and purchasing methods, Golden Leverage ensures the final product meets your specifications. Once you provide us with the specifications for the product you are seeking, we select and audit the manufacturers best-suited for your
project. There are six fundamental aspects to this audit:

Upon request, Golden Leverage can also perform supplementary audits after a review of special inspection points in the client’s specifications.
The objective is to ensure you get the best price-quality ratio.

Golden Leverage offers all the services you need to launch a new product.
