Common Engagements

Three reasonsteams engage us in China

CORE USE CASE

Can we de-risk this strategic move?

Most teams underestimate policy execution complexity.

  • Map industrial parks and capability clusters
  • Reality-check incentives and feasibility
  • Structured diligence for expansion or JV targets
CORE USE CASE

Is this supplier ready for our scale?

Most teams underestimate subcontractor opacity.

  • Identify, qualify, and rank manufacturing partners
  • Validate capability depth and compliance readiness
  • Reduce execution and delivery risk
CORE USE CASE

How do we navigate this complexity?

Most teams underestimate stakeholder evidence needs.

  • Build defensible business cases with evidence
  • Navigate compliance and operational requirements
  • Execute with bounded scope and clear deliverables

Most projects are a blend. Our process adapts - the scope stays bounded.

Industrial Context

Why China remains exceptionalfor serious operators

INDUSTRIAL DEPTH

Unmatched supplier density and tooling capability

The breadth of tiered suppliers, materials, and process know-how often compresses iteration cycles in many categories. Built for rapid scaling and integrated supply chains.

MEGA-PROJECT GRAVITY

World-class operators still expanding footprints

Major multinationals continue long-horizon industrial investments, signalling strategic value:

  • BASF reaching milestones at Zhanjiang Verbund site (largest single investment)
  • Airbus opening second A320 Family FAL in Tianjin
MARKET PROXIMITY

Proximity and feedback loops

If your product touches Chinese OEMs, brands, or advanced manufacturing customers, being close to the market can shorten learning cycles.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Logistics and infrastructure maturity

In many corridors, the logistics and industrial infrastructure are built for high throughput and rapid execution.

Reality check: China is not "set-and-forget"

The upside is real. So are the risks-policy shifts, compliance complexity, operational surprises. Our work helps you make defensible decisions, not naive bets.

Cut the Noise

FILTER

China has 500k+ factories. We eliminate unqualified options based on your actual requirements, not marketing decks.

Document Reality

EVIDENCE

On-ground verification, photo documentation, capability audits. Everything we report is evidence-backed, not hearsay.

Enable Action

DECISION

Structured decision memos with clear recommendations. No "it depends" - just prioritized options and risk flags.

Whether you're running a €1,400 triage or a €80k verification project, this process stays consistent. No scope creep, no methodology shifts mid-engagement.
