Licensed Mechanical Engineer | Advanced Global Procurement & Sourcing Certified I help manufacturers and product companies source reliable components, equipment, and suppliers from China and other international markets. My experience combines mechanical engineering knowledge with hands-on procurement, allowing me to evaluate suppliers beyond price alone. I review drawings, BOMs, specifications, manufacturing capabilities, certifications, lead times, MOQs, quality requirements, and total landed-cost considerations before recommending a supplier. I can support: • China and overseas supplier sourcing • Mechanical, electrical and industrial components • Metal fabrication and machined parts • Plastic/injection-molded components • Motors, electrical parts and equipment components • RFQ/RFP preparation and management • Alibaba, Made-in-China and Global Sources research • Supplier verification and capability assessment • Quote comparison and cost analysis • MOQ, pricing and payment-term negotiation • Supplier comparison matrices • Technical drawing/BOM-based sourcing • Quality and certification verification • Incoterms and import/export coordination • Vendor management and reorder support • Alternative/backup supplier development My engineering background helps me communicate effectively with factories and identify technical, commercial, quality, and supply-chain risks before they become expensive problems. Whether you need one difficult component sourced or ongoing procurement support, I can provide an organized shortlist with clear recommendations and documented supplier comparisons.

Tell me what you're looking to source, and I'll show you exactly how I can help. Hiba
