We work both sides of the trade.
Twofold finds and checks factories in China for European brands, and gets Chinese factories ready to sell in Europe. On the ground in the Pearl River Delta from early 2027.
A brand in Europe and a factory in China rarely see the same thing. We work between them, and check what neither side can see from where it stands.
For European brands
A factory you can trust, and someone watching it.
A team in China that finds the right factory, checks it properly and follows your order until it ships.
- Find and vet factories for your product, with every check below done before you commit.
- Samples and negotiation handled for you. You pay the factory directly.
- Production followed through to shipping, with inspections before you pay the balance.
- UK and EU rules: certificates, labels and documents checked before the goods leave.
- Shipping and customs through licensed forwarders and brokers.
For Chinese factories and brands
Ready to sell in Europe, properly.
A partner on the European side who knows the rules and the buyers.
- Europe-readiness: a gap report and setup for CE, UKCA, REACH, labels and documents, and the battery passport where your category needs it.
- Distributors and importers found, introduced and followed up.
- Marketplace launch on Amazon and other European marketplaces.
- Trade fairs: we represent you in Europe.

Every factory goes through the same checks. If one fails, we don't put it in front of you.

- A real factoryThe actual manufacturer (工厂), not a trading company (贸易公司) adding a markup.
- Certificates that check outTest reports and certificates verified with the labs that issued them.
- Seen with our own eyesA visit in person, or a guided video audit, before the first order.
