Manuel G.

Global Sourcing & Procurement Consultant | Supplier Vetting

I source everything from raw materials to finished goods, from technical components to consumer products and commodities: harmonic drives, wool tops, wrist chain bracelets, artisan blankets, battery enclosures, architectural glass, magnesium chloride, faux leather portfolios and more. I find manufacturers, check they can really make what you need, negotiate the price, and bring you quotes you can compare. I draw on 20+ years as an Industrial Engineer assessing facilities for the insurance industry: more than 1,000 sites across all industries, from factories and agricultural plants to hospitals, schools and theaters. That experience is why I ask the technical questions that show what a supplier can and can’t do. I work in English and Spanish. What you get Real manufacturers identified, not trading companies, including the factory behind a branded product where the available information allows Price, MOQ, lead time and payment terms negotiated directly with the supplier Quotes compared on landed cost (FOB, CIF, DDP) A supplier profile with each quote, including a background check: company registration, years in operation, certifications and export experience Samples requested from the manufacturer and sent directly to you for evaluation before you order How I evaluate suppliers I review documents, certifications and registrations, and I ask the factory technical questions directly. When a manufacturer can’t supply what you need, I look for alternatives, such as other production lines, other factories or blended solutions, instead of only reporting that it’s unavailable. Send me your product, specification and target volume, and I’ll tell you what is realistic.
