China import for Baden-Württemberg: your buying office sits in the same state
Machine building on the Neckar, suppliers on the Swabian Alb, trade along the Rhine corridor: Baden-Württemberg is Germany’s engineering state — and our home market. We are based in Achern (Ortenau), negotiate in China in Chinese and deliver inspected quality DDP to your dock between Mannheim and Lake Constance.
Where China imports fail
The three most expensive mistakes happen before ordering — and all three can be ruled out in advance.
Suppliers known only from catalogues
Between an Alibaba profile and the real factory often lie two trading tiers. We verify on site: registration, manufacturing depth, machine park — before the first deposit flows.
Quality only visible at the dock
When the container opens, it is too late. AQL inspection before shipment with photo reports — deviations get fixed in China, not claimed here.
Customs & compliance on the side
EORI, tariff codes, CE documents, packaging registers: in daily business this gets postponed — until market surveillance asks. We deliver the papers structured with every shipment.
What we handle for companies from Baden-Württemberg

Common questions from Baden-Württemberg
Can we meet you in person before starting?
Yes — that is the home market advantage: a first meeting gladly at your premises, in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Freiburg or at our office in Achern. For ongoing programs we attend milestones in person; daily business then runs remotely just as reliably.
Do you work with the region’s automotive suppliers?
Yes — from tier-2 suppliers on the Alb to aftermarket dealers: components from IATF 16949 factories, PPAP-capable documentation and second-source development for phasing-out and new programs alike. For safety-critical parts requiring OEM release we clarify requirements before awarding.
From what volume does cooperation pay off?
As a rule of thumb from about €5,000–10,000 order value — below that, freight and fixed costs eat the advantage. No upper limit: from single projects to annual programs with call-offs. The honest initial assessment of whether your product pays off is free.
