Stop guessing on Alibaba. Epic Sourcing connects UK businesses with vetted contract manufacturers in China and Vietnam — handling everything from factory selection and sampling through to production, QC, and shipping to your door.
From your first product brief to goods arriving at your UK warehouse — we manage the entire manufacturing process on your behalf.
We shortlist 3–5 verified manufacturers matched to your exact product specs, materials, and MOQ requirements — from our network of 60,000+ factories not listed on Alibaba.
Our China-based team visits factories in person, checking production capacity, quality systems, and working conditions before you commit a penny.
We manage all sampling communications in Mandarin — multiple revision rounds until the product matches your specification exactly. Your approval before bulk production starts.
On-the-ground monitoring during bulk production runs. We catch defects before they become shipments, ensuring your order meets spec every time.
Pre-shipment checks against UKCA, CE, REACH, and RoHS standards. We handle the paperwork so your goods clear UK customs without delays or surprises.
Sea freight or air freight arranged from factory floor to your UK address or 3PL warehouse. Full documentation, customs clearance, and cargo insurance included.
If China tariffs or lead times are a concern, we can source equivalent manufacturers in Vietnam — often with lower costs and UKVFTA duty advantages for UK importers.
Once your first production run is complete, we stay on to manage re-orders, price renegotiations, and supplier relationships as your business scales.
One place. One team. One Epic solution for your contract manufacturing.
