Asia Quality Focus has established several partnerships in China, Hong Kong and in the USA in order to provide its clients with additional added value services, allowing a better control of the whole supply chain and enabling more savings of time and money when doing business in China.
Please see below the introduction of our Endorsed Service Providers :
Final Assembly/Packaging, Vendor Coordination, IP Protection
Our partner PassageMaker (PM) can be of support for those clients that need services beyond AQF's core offerings, such as Vendor Coordination, Intellectual Property (IP) Protection and Final Assembly.
PM is a US owned and operated company based in China. PM specializes in helping clients find suppliers and manage their China supply chain, with a special focus on clients who are concerned about protecting intellectual property (IP) and ensuring the quality is to specification.
PM's assembly center serves as both a “black box” to protect IP and a quality gate. Simply put, components and semi-finished goods are delivered to their facility from your approved sub suppliers and then final assembly/packaging takes place at PassageMaker. As the sub suppliers don't see the finished product, their ability to steal ideas and designs is limited. While final assembly is taking place under the PM roof they can also inspect the goods to confirm quality.
In turn, AQF is PM's exclusive partner for product inspections and audits that are needed at the sub supplier level.

The International Company Profile (ICP) is Globis' exclusive report created for their contract with the US Dept. of Commerce to provide them with due diligence on Chinese companies. It includes all the registration information, ownership, financial, litigation, credit recommendation, trademarks/patents, export license number/details (if any), interview with the bank, the company, etc., plus info on their reputation and references - from their vendors & clients in China. In the major cities we provide a site visit generally for no additional fee in the ICP report. The price for the ICP under normal delivery of 11 business days is $435.
The Business Credit Report covers almost all the same info as the ICP, but does not go into as much detail on the reputation and references of the company, which is particularly relevant for distributor searches. The price is $230 for the BCR under the normal delivery time of 9 business days.
Additional services include in-depth market research, partner search, competitive intelligence, and providing supplier lists of foreign firms & individuals, again with a China focus.

The fitting experts
Every brand and retailer has designers, merchants, production teams and vendors who all claim to understand 'fit'. Yet, there is a huge disconnect between the 'fit' that brands legislate, manufacturers execute and that consumers are actually buying.
On the other hand, 85 % of consumers say they would return to a specific brand because of the way it fits.
AlvaInsight helps clients make sense of these seeming contradictions and provides management teams with a unique, objective perspective of the industry, the best practices that work and the so-called best practices that don't.
Alvanon helps garments buyers to identify profitable growth opportunities that are missed or under-exploited, and they provide a game plan for solid, consistent execution.
Those textile specialists also help importers with communication and marketing strategies designed to get everyone - internally and externally - on the same page with the customer.
AlvaInsight was established to provide corporate level strategic advice and help clients understand that body shape, particularly for women, has changed and that brands can and must, evolve in order to improve the company's bottom line.
