A piece of furniture is judged over ten years, not from a sample photo.

Furniture and decor concentrate the risks: uneven finishes, weak joints, packaging that does not survive transport, non-compliant materials (formaldehyde, lead in varnishes).

Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.

Our home division, led by a former buyer for a European furniture retailer, selects factories for their mastery of finishes and testing, requires ISTA-tested packaging and inspects every batch with load, stability and appearance tests. Manufacturing hubs: Foshan (furniture, sofas, bathrooms), Dongguan (high-end furniture, lighting), Zhongshan (lighting), Ningbo and Taizhou (plastics, garden), Chaozhou and Jingdezhen (ceramics), Nantong (home textiles).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can you handle mixed containers?

Yes: goods from several factories (furniture, lighting, textiles) are consolidated in the warehouse best suited to your suppliers, then loaded into a single container according to an optimized loading plan.

Do you offer certified wood?

We source FSC or PEFC wood and provide the traceability chain required under the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

What about home improvement retail chains?

We know their specifications (packaging, labeling, testing) and prepare the listing files.
