China Direct Sourcing — Ireland & UK
Factory-direct from
Zhengzhou and Shenzhen.
QC before it ships. No Alibaba middlemen. No trading company markups. One person with 18 years of factory-level relationships — buying direct for Irish businesses.
Why every Irish business
should buy direct from China
Every Irish business buying Chinese goods through a wholesaler or trading company is paying for layers of margin they don't need.
Factory gate pricing — not three markups stacked on top
You pay what the factory charges. Not what the Alibaba trading company adds on top. Not what the Irish wholesaler adds on top of that. Direct relationships built over 18 years mean the price is real.
Your goods are inspected at the factory before they ship
Every order is physically inspected before a container is sealed. If it fails, it stays. You don't pay freight on goods that aren't right — and you don't get a nasty surprise on the Dublin docks.
CE marking and EU compliance verified at source
We verify certifications at the factory, not at customs. Construction materials, electronics, apparel — all checked against EU and Irish standards before anything leaves China.
Most "factories" on Alibaba are trading companies in disguise
Trading companies on Alibaba typically add 20–40% margin while presenting themselves as manufacturers. We source in person, directly from the factory floor, with relationships that go back years.
Inspected before it ships.
Every single time.
Most sourcing failures happen because no one checks the goods at the factory. By the time the container arrives in Dublin, it's too late and too expensive to fix.
Every order through Ériu Sourcing is physically inspected before it leaves China. Product counts, quality checks, CE certification verification — done in person, at the factory, before a container is sealed.
If it fails, we resolve it with the factory before it ships. Not after.

Two bases.
Reach across all of China.
Zhengzhou puts me in the centre of Eastern China's manufacturing heartland. Every major industrial city — Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Wuhan — is within 2–3 hours by high-speed rail.
Shenzhen gives direct access to Guangdong's consumer goods cluster: electronics in Huaqiangbei, furniture in Foshan, pet accessories in Guangzhou, bags in Dongguan.
No other Ireland-facing sourcing service has this dual-province setup.
