From first trade enquiry to a controlled handover.
A workable trade process starts with a clear enquiry. Product, application, volumes, technical requirements, commercial terms, market and timing determine which parties fit and which controls are relevant.

- 02Select parties
approach and qualify suitable manufacturers, suppliers, buyers or partners.
- 03Structure terms
record technical, commercial and legal points in writing.
- 04Coordinate execution

We work in both directions. For clients worldwide, we identify and assess suitable manufacturers and partners in China. For Chinese manufacturers, we help structure serious international trade opportunities and reach the right counterpart.
Rooted in trade. Working globally from China. The name CONSOO & CO | 集义行 refers to the historic trading links between Europe and Canton. The principle remains relevant today: connect the right parties, organise information and make agreements verifiable.

What we do not do
We do not promise risk-free trade and do not automatically become the manufacturer, seller, carrier, customs broker, inspection body, lawyer or importer. For each assignment, responsibilities and verifiable information are defined in advance.
Sectors
We work across product groups, with emphasis on mobility and commercial vehicles, industry and machinery, components and OEM, technology and energy, and construction and interiors.
Typical trade assignments.
Examples of assignments CONSOO & CO can structure. They are use cases, not published client claims.
