Yes. We work with manufacturers and wholesalers in China, the UK and the EU, and recommend the region that gives you the best balance of cost, lead time, quality and compliance for each product.

A typical project takes one to three weeks depending on scope. Sample rounds and factory inspections can add one to two weeks.

We flag UKCA/CE marking, GPSR, labelling, packaging and restricted-category requirements during research so there are no surprises when you list.
