China import for the trades: cut material costs without risking the job site
Furniture fittings and drawer systems, stainless railing components, LED profiles, custom cuts, project material for interior fit-out: craft businesses often pay double the factory price at specialist wholesalers. We import in trade-sized quantities — inspected, on schedule, with an EU-compliant invoice.
Where trade imports fail
Craft businesses have no purchasing department — that is exactly the gap we fill.
MOQs do not fit the business
The factory wants 5,000 drawer slides, you need 400 a year. We negotiate trade-sized quantities, bundle several businesses into shared containers or store annual volumes for call-offs.
Millimetres decide
A fitting that does not match the system grid is scrap with shipping costs. We check dimensions and compatibility on samples against your reference part — before the volume order.
Warranty on the building
You are liable for your trade work for 5 years — so the material must last. Corrosion protection, fitting cycle endurance, 1.4404 grade for outdoor use: we specify and test what gets installed.
What we handle for craft businesses
Fittings & system components
Drawer slides, hinges, connectors, door hardware: vetted manufacturers with cycle testing — compatible with your system dimensions.
Profiles & semi-finished stock
Aluminium profiles from your die, stainless tubes, LED profiles, custom cuts — with EN 10204 material certificates and seaworthy packaging.
Drawing parts for the project
Laser-cut parts, folded sheet metal, machined specials from your sketch or DXF — including the 80 pieces no German supplier wants to touch.
Tools & workshop supplies
Clamps, bits, saw blades, consumables: we bundle workshop supplies in the same container — noticeably below specialist trade prices.
How your sourcing runs
Send a needs list, sketch or reference part — we check feasibility and prices.
Samples checked against your reference part — released by you.
Order in trade-sized quantity; inspection before shipment.
DDP delivery to your workshop — with an EU-compliant invoice and documentation.
Common questions from the trades
Is it even worthwhile for a single business?
From about €10,000–15,000 annual material spend on recurring articles: clearly yes — savings versus specialist wholesale are typically 30–50 %. For smaller needs we bundle several businesses into shared containers; asking costs nothing, we calculate it honestly.
How fast can I get resupply when a project comes up?
Sea freight takes 8–10 weeks from order — so for project business we plan on two tracks: recurring articles as call-off stock (immediately available), project-specific parts with schedule buffers in the project plan. For real emergencies there is air freight; for fittings it pays off more often than you would think.
What about quality — I install this at customers
That is why we test as for industry: cycle tests on fittings (e.g. 40,000 openings on drawer slides), salt spray on outdoor parts, material certificates on load-bearing parts. You get the same quality that brand manufacturers have made in the same factories — without the brand logo and its markup.
