Component & automation sourcing

Bearings, motors, PLCs: the verified equivalent.

For your maintenance, your machines or your distribution catalog, we source components from Chinese manufacturers, under their brand or yours, and verify that they fit, work and last like the reference they replace.

A cheap component gets expensive the moment it stops a line.

A bearing that overheats, a gearbox that leaks, a motor whose actual efficiency is below its nameplate rating, a valve whose test pressure was never verified: the component is a small line on the invoice and a big one on production downtime.

On the ground

Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.

We start from your product (SKU), your drawing or a sample: standardized dimensions, precision class, material, ingress protection rating, voltage, performance curves. We select specialized manufacturers, notably in the Wenling and Wenzhou (Zhejiang) manufacturing hubs for pumps, valves and compressors, and in Weifang (Shandong) for diesel engines. We offer equivalents under the manufacturer's brand or yours, never a counterfeit. First batches are measured and tested (noise and vibration, pressure, sealing, efficiency), then every production run is inspected and traced by batch.

Scope

What we take care of.

Verified equivalences

Standardized dimensions (ISO, DIN), precision class, clearance, material and treatment compared against the reference; trial fitting on your machine if needed.

Motors & drives

IE3 and IE4 efficiency classes, ingress protection rating, insulation class, CE, UKCA, UL or CSA; no-load and on-load testing.

Hydraulics & pneumatics

Working and test pressures, oil cleanliness (ISO 4406), hoses and fittings (EN 853, SAE J517), leak testing.

Pumps, valves, compressors

Measured flow-pressure curves, Pressure Equipment and ATEX certificates verified, wetted materials checked.

Control systems

PLCs, screens, drives and sensors: origin, software version and compatibility with your installed base verified before ordering.

Traceability & stock

Batch marking, certificates included, safety stock and scheduled replenishment for maintenance and distribution.

Process

How we work.

  1. Product (SKU) & usage

    Original product (SKU)s, drawings or samples, service conditions, annual volumes and desired stock level.

  2. Specialized manufacturers

    Shortlisting by component family, audit of production and testing capabilities, side-by-side quotes.

  3. Samples & testing

    Dimensional measurements, performance and endurance tests, test assembly, written validation.

  4. Production runs & replenishment

    Batch inspection, certificates included, consolidation in China with your other purchases, scheduled replenishments.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do you supply major-brand parts?

We source components from Chinese manufacturers, under their brand or yours, with equivalent dimensions and performance. We do not supply branded copies without authorization; for an original-brand component, go through its official network.

Can you take over an entire maintenance list?

Yes: send us your products and your annual consumption. We propose an equivalent for each line, have the critical parts tested and consolidate everything into a single container.

Are motors and pumps suitable for North America?

Yes, if voltage, 60 Hz frequency and UL or CSA listings are planned from the time of order; we verify them on the sample and on the certificates.

What are the minimum volumes?

For catalog components, a few cartons are often enough; for a specific part, the threshold depends on tooling. We group your products to reach factory minimums.

What rules apply to these products?

The market is also crowded with copies of major brands, and each family has its own rules: IE3 and IE4 motor efficiency classes in the EU (Regulation 2019/1781), the Pressure Equipment Directive for valves and tanks, ATEX for explosive atmospheres, UL or CSA listings for North America.
