Your project is just what I have done. I have been a professional sourcing expert for client to buy from China. Safety items fall within my fields. With 18 years experience in international trade, I started my work on clothing from 15years ago. Also I started sourcing of safety items from 2012 for different clients from US and Australia. I have worked on safety clothing and other safety items as below list:
Safety clothing: Hi vis shirts, Hi vis jackets, jeans,
Safety items: Bollard and base, helmets, gloves, ear plugs, sunglasses, post cap, face masks, coveralls, safety fence, mesh, triangle flags and etc.
Suppliers I recommended to clients locates in South, middle and north China. We can recommend as per your request. All suppliers with good management and certification, good experience in export which means they understand all your requirement locally at destination market.
Recommendation works I have done all have good savings, and some shipment effected. Savings ranged from 35-65%.
I did help clients on factories audits times. I also travelled with clients on visit of all factories and talk on site. My client is very happy with what they achieved.
For our recommendation work, we will not charge any commission from suppier side, but only a flat fee as one project. Of course, travel will be diferent charged as per negotiation.
I will be very happy to be in direct contact with you to talk about project details.
Regards
Wendy
