case studies

ET in action. See how we’ve helped our clients succeed.

Expedient Trade Client

A product development company specializing in the design & manufacture of patented, dry erase products for national schools and large retail chains like Office Depot and Costco.

Challenge

The client’s business was growing, sales activities were expanding and customers were demanding new products every year. To remain competitive in the market, the client needed additional factories in China, to produce new and existing product lines. However, they didn’t have the devoted staff to manage new international sourcing projects and the details related to price negotiations, contract development & product safety testing.

Expedient Trade Solution

ET helped our client gain quick & safe access to high capacity, quality certified factories in China. We were diligent about using a factory that had experience with producing products that met USA product safety standards. The ET team also created legal documents (in English and Mandarin) to protect our client’s patents and trademarks.

Our client is now able to provide official safety certificates to their customers. These certificates ensure that all products & packaging meet USA child safety standards.

We also saved our client thousands of dollars by producing new product molds in China. Our Chinese office staff helped save travel time and costs by assisting with quality inspections, language translation, international freight procedures and price negotiations.

Our client continues to receive high quality, low cost products from our factories in China.
