Our Mission

Our objective is to deliver long term sustainable value to our clients’ supply chains that creates cost and quality benefits to their purchase channels from China and Vietnam. With a focus on service, we deliver tailor made solutions to our clients to provide an ‘at the source’ management capability.

Introduction

ET2C International is a British owned and managed Procurement Service Provider that is focused on adding value to our client’s Asian supply chains.

The company started out in 2001 as a web based sourcing platform (hence the derivation of the current name; the original name was e-trade2china) to allow clients the opportunity to leverage off the Chinese supply base. Soon it was recognised that this omitted one of the key aspects of any supply chain; namely that of the development of relationships, especially where language, culture and time differences are present.

We therefore moved away from simply a web based interaction with our clients to a more service focused model that ensured our clients were able to overcome the barriers to entry in Low Cost Country manufacturing bases. Retaining this focus on service, we have grown to a company of approximately 150 staff in our offices in Shanghai, Yiwu, Shenzhen, Vietnam, Hong Kong, London and New York. Our London, New York and Hong Kong offices are predominately client focused enabling a higher level of interaction with our customers, which is of particular importance in London and New York where there is a significant time difference.

Our client portfolio now includes publically quoted companies through to SMEs; retailers through to wholesalers; based in the US, UK, EU to Australia and New Zealand. Please contact us for references.
