Headquartered in Singapore. Supply chain treated the way private banks treat capital. We map manufacturers, review documentation, and support negotiation across nine Asian jurisdictions for medical device companies.
Three practices that compose a full mandate. Engagements may include all three, one practice in isolation, or ongoing advisory support. Each is consultancy work — research, advisory, and negotiation support. We are not auditors or certifying bodies.
The supplier landscape across Asia changes faster than directories track it. We work from primary sources — public regulator records, trade publications, industry rolls, and supplier outreach when warranted — to build a current view of who manufactures what, stated capacity ranges, and approval status.
A structured shortlist of manufacturers fitted to your category, certifications, volume, and risk tolerance. Not a directory dump.
A factory's documentation is one form of evidence. The room itself is another. Reviews include both.
A written advisory review per shortlisted manufacturer — observations, document review notes, capacity discussion, and an explicit statement of what we observed, what we did not, and what remains for a certifying body to verify.
Pricing is one variable. The structure around it is the rest. We sit on the buyer side of the table — by Zoom or in the room — through the commercial discussion.
A negotiation brief with recommended term structure, pricing benchmarks drawn from primary research and industry sources, and direct presence in the commercial discussion.
Each Asian manufacturing geography carries its own regulator, document standards, and commercial conventions. Engagement depth varies by jurisdiction.
A full mandate produces four named deliverables. Modular engagements produce one or two. Each is dated and signed.
Each engagement closes with a written document on firm letterhead — the kind a board member or operating partner can read in fifteen minutes and refer back to in fifteen months.
Every deliverable is dated and signed. Delivered to named recipients. Engagements can include all four documents or a single one — scope determines the package.
A full mandate runs roughly eight weeks from intake to handoff. Engagements can be scoped narrower — a single practice, a single geography, or ongoing advisory.
We map your current supplier exposure, certification posture, and categories where alternatives may produce material change.
We deliver the manufacturer shortlist with public regulatory record, capacity discussion, and category-specific notes.
Site walkthrough where engagement scope warrants, documentation review, public record check. The work that cannot be done from a desk.
Pricing, terms, MOQ, payment safeguards, lead-time covenants. We sit on the buyer's side of the table — by Zoom or in the room — for the elements within scope.
Final brief on letterhead, complete documentation package, and a fixed transition window. Your team takes the relationship forward.
The full sequence. When you're entering a new geography, building a sourcing program from scratch, or restructuring an existing supplier base. Multi-week, multi-deliverable.
A single practice, scoped narrowly. Map only when you need a manufacturer landscape. Review only when you've identified a supplier. Negotiate only when terms are open.
When you have a supplier base running and want a second mind on it. Briefings on regulatory developments, second opinions on commercial decisions, presence in negotiations on call. Monthly or as needed.
A 30-minute introductory call. We learn what you're sourcing, where you're exposed, and whether the fit is right.
