Two bases. Reach across every major manufacturing hub.
Most sourcing agents operate from one city. We're based in both Zhengzhou (Henan Province) and Shenzhen (Guangdong Province) — the two most strategically positioned manufacturing bases in China for Irish buyers.
Zhengzhou, Henan Province
Zhengzhou is the geographic centre of China and the country's most connected high-speed rail hub. From here, I can reach Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Wuhan, and every major industrial city in Eastern China within 1.5–3 hours by bullet train.
Henan Province itself is a major manufacturing base — home to Foxconn's largest campus (150,000–200,000 workers at peak iPhone production), significant aluminium and building materials production, garments and workwear manufacturing, and one of China's fastest-growing electric vehicle sectors.
HSR reach from Zhengzhou
Shenzhen & Guangdong Province
The Pearl River Delta — centred on Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, and Zhongshan — is the world's most concentrated consumer goods manufacturing cluster. For Irish businesses, this is where most of your China imports come from.
Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen is the world's largest electronics components market. Foshan is the world's largest furniture and ceramics cluster. Zhongshan is the global capital of decorative lighting. I have active supplier relationships across all of them.
What's made in Henan Province
Most Irish buyers don't know that Henan is a significant direct sourcing location — not just a logistics hub. Key manufacturing categories include:
Electronics & technology
Foxconn's Zhengzhou campus is one of the world's largest electronics assembly facilities. The province is also a hub for cables, IT hardware, and consumer electronics accessories.
Aluminium & building materials
Henan is one of China's biggest aluminium processing provinces, with significant exports in aluminium profiles, ceramics, and construction hardware directly relevant to Irish construction buyers.
Textiles & apparel
Zhongmu Industrial Area and Zhengzhou textile clusters produce garments, uniforms, workwear, PPE, home textiles, and sports fabrics. Lower cost base than Guangdong for bulk apparel orders.
Foodservice equipment
Commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration units, and cold-chain technology — relevant to Irish hospitality buyers looking at direct sourcing for major fit-out or expansion.
