Manufacturer Sourcing
Client
A leading global materials science company
Situation
The client was seeking greater flexibility in its supply base, with a particular focus on China, while also looking for ways to expand customer relevance through complementary offerings. It needed a structured view of credible manufacturing alternatives and adjacent product opportunities to support both procurement decisions and portfolio development.
Approach
Asia Growth Partners worked closely with client to execute two parallel workstreams: manufacturer sourcing (RFQ + evaluation) and a global product research scan for bicycle-industry expansion.
- Define milestones and track execution.
- Select startups via criteria-based screening and scorecards.
- Diagnose readiness gaps and tailor training/mentorship per startup.
- Run investor outreach with a standardized funnel.
- Facilitate intros and iterate matchmaking from feedback.
Results
- Identified and validated the competence of 10 potential manufacturers in Asia (focus on China).
- Issued RFQs and reviewed responses, including clarification and quote validation.
- Conducted initial negotiations to secure the best available quote.
- Delivered structured documentation of RFQ results and vendor recommendations based on price, competence, and communication.
