Sourcing a Dental Technician Workbench with Strict Specifications from China

EIKO’s support: We confirmed the equipment installation requirements and dimensions, searched for and selected candidate factories in China, coordinated specifications, negotiated pricing, and inspected the finished product.
Result: Despite the demanding requirements, we successfully arranged the manufacture and sourcing of a workbench suited to the intended use and specifications.

Sourcing Cost-Effective Spices from China While Meeting Quality Expectations

EIKO’s support: We researched multiple sourcing candidates in China and compared not only pricing but also product condition and impurity levels. After confirming the client’s requirements, we selected products with an appropriate balance of quality and cost.
Result: We imported spices that met the agreed conditions and successfully provided products that satisfied the client.

Container-Scale Sourcing of MEK, Toluene and Other Solvents from China
Country of sourcing: China / Scope: Supplier research, quality review, commercial coordination and import arrangements / Shipment: Container-scale
Client challenge: Amid tighter domestic availability of MEK, toluene and other solvents in Japan due in part to concerns surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, several companies approached us for alternative sourcing support.
EIKO’s support: We researched suppliers in China and reviewed product quality, supply conditions and pricing. We selected products and a supply arrangement that met each client’s requirements and coordinated the import process.
Result: We secured suitable Chinese-made solvents and delivered MEK and toluene in container-scale shipments.
