A European furniture brand was developing a new line of solid wood dining tables, targeting the mid-to-high-end market. Previous sourcing attempts resulted in inconsistent quality and unreliable suppliers. With no local presence in China, the client needed a more structured sourcing approach.
Solid wood furniture requires strict control over material quality, moisture levels, and finishing processes. Choosing the wrong supplier could result in defects, returns, and brand damage.
We sourced and verified experienced manufacturers, conducted on-site checks, and identified gaps between samples and real production. We established clear specifications, controlled communication, and filtered out unreliable suppliers early.
• Prevented potential quality failures
• Secured a reliable supplier
• Improved consistency across production
• Enabled confident product launch
