What Irish businesses achieve with factory-direct sourcing.
Noel helped us source a large shredder to recycle mattresses. He visited and verified the factory, gave us a walkaround of the production area over WhatsApp, checked the shredder before shipping and also helped us with the shipment to Ireland. It was great to have an Irish person on the ground to explain things to.
M. Byrne Mattress recycling · Co. Longford, Ireland
We've been working with Ériu and Noel for a number of years now to source building materials for large commercial and residential projects here in Australia. I visit China twice a year to see the factories, and besides that Noel and his team look after everything else all year round. Highly recommended.
George S. Building materials importer · Sydney, Australia
The Ériu team helped us find three manufacturers to trial for our specific product packaging, then shipped us samples by DHL. They also had the packaging tested at a lab to make sure it was really up to the job. We've since enlisted their help finding sustainable shipping packaging to add to our products' eco credentials.
Ben Personal care brand · Co. Wicklow, Ireland
When we were looking to import sofas directly from China to Ireland, a friend recommended Ériu Sourcing. It's great to work with another Irish person on the ground in China who understands what we need, can convey that exactly to the factory, and then QC-checks everything before shipping. They even helped us get our branding on the large sofa boxes at no extra cost.

What changes when you remove the middlemen
Factory-gate pricing
You buy at the price European distributors buy at, before they add 60–100% margin. No Alibaba trading company layer, no UK importer, no Irish wholesaler.
QC before the container is sealed
Pre-shipment inspection happens at the factory. Failed goods stay in China at the factory's cost. You only pay freight on goods that pass.
CE compliance at source
EU compliance is verified and documented before shipment. Full CE certificates, EU Declaration of Conformity, and test reports provided with every order.
18 years on the ground
Permanent offices in Shenzhen and Zhengzhou. Direct factory relationships built over nearly two decades. We know which factories to use, and which to avoid.
