Who we are and what we do
Source A Product.com is a Canadian owned and managed Sourcing Company. Our North American head office is located in Trenton Ontario. Source A Product is part of a group of companies who over a number of years has developed joint venture operations in Asia with Asian Partners. This has given our senior management considerable experience with doing business in Asia. This web site, and our program, results from the Asian business expertise our group has developed over the last twenty years. We have been involved in all aspects of Asian trade - locating suppliers, negotiating the best prices, arranging the freight, ensuring quality control and also sourcing products for Asian customers. During this period management set up four separate import companies to handle the wide variety of Asian imports the group was handling. All are very profitable and all get their products entirely from Asian countries. If you want to know more about the businesses that we have started go to mysticalgroup.com and from there you can find the different websites for each business. Initially the group’s Asian activities largely revolved around its joint venture factories located in Hebei province and in Liuyang province, both in China. Subsequently the group expanded its activities to encompass a wide swath of Asian countries and products.

Since 1995 we have helped a number of companies and private individuals to locate products or services primarily in China but also in India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. In the past we have charged a percentage of the value of each container imported. We contacted the manufacturer set up the deal made all of the arrangements and put our 10% to 15% on each shipment. Our customers never complained because we saved them money. Now we have changed our business model. We currently offer an internet discount sourcing web site so that for a set fee you can save thousands of dollars. For a modest fee you let us know the product or products that you are looking to import and we will source a manufacturer of that product for you. If you are looking to only import it in small quantities we will source a broker who may be able supply you with your item. If you are currently importing a product we will endeavour to source you a lower cost provider or negotiate better pricing with your current supplier.With our contacts and local presence we can also arrange for the production/manufacture of newly conceived products.

The Value of our Asian Experience
The greatest disadvantage that companies and individuals have in trying to source for themselves is that they do not speak the language, know the local customs and culture or have political and business connections. This is where we can save you time, error and expense.

Many people seeking to do business in Asia either look for products on the internet or go to trade shows and fairs to meet vendors while some just go to large cities like Hong Kong. This is NOT the best way of sourcing because over 80% of the so called factories at these shows and fairs are trading companies who add on large margins. Many are "fly-by-night" operators and the samples that you see are often of a better quality than the product you receive when you place an order with them. Asia and especially China offers great opportunity - opportunity to make big profits but equally opportunity to incur great loss. The difference usually hinges on contacts, and experience in adapting to their unique business environments. Piggy-backing on our twenty years of experience is a sensible way to get your Asian trade on a sound footing.
