CHINA IMPORTSThree decades of experience
Berger combines three decades of import and manufacturing experience with direct access to China’s industrial capabilities.
The business challenge
Controlled sourcing from China.
With professional local representation.
A competitive purchase price alone does not guarantee a secure and commercially viable engagement. Supplier credentials, technical compliance, quality assurance and logistics all require professional local control.
Berger acts as the client’s representative throughout negotiations and production, following a documented and transparent process.
Inconsistent quality
In-process and pre-shipment inspections allow quality issues to be addressed before goods leave China.
Complex communication
We align with clients in clear European business terms and act as a local negotiating partner in China.
Complex cargo movements
Samples, warehousing, export and logistics are coordinated as one integrated process.
Comprehensive representation in China
