Who We Are

Our Irish-run and owned sourcing company has a long tradition in the procurement industry in China. It was founded in 2009 by Gerry Whitlow who is the owner and general manager.
Gerry spends about eight months of the year on the ground in China and about two months in Europe conducting business meetings and attending various trade shows. We look forward to getting to know you.
We pride ourselves on providing outstanding customer service to guarantee that all of our clients are 100% satisfied. China Sourcing Services are consistently striving to become a better sourcing agent and better individuals.

Our Experience and Cultural Awareness

After spending so long in China we have made it our business to immerse ourselves in the culture of China. We have spent many years learning Mandarin and also to be culturally aware in both business and everyday life. China has many cultural taboos and it's important when doing business to be aware of these.

We take pride in giving back something to the community that has helped us get to where we are today. In 2009 Gerry completed the 2009 Dongguan International Marathon and raised 6700 yuan for a local autistic charity called CTC. www.ctcommunity.org

What other experience do we have?

Back in 2013 Gerry and a partner opened Healthy Imports Ltd, a WOFE company. They were the first Irish people to successfully do so in China. They imported and distributed Rocwell Mineral Water to the Chinese market. They closed the company in 2016. It was a massive learning curve about how business is really done in China and a great experience. They learned many important business lessons during these three years. They also worked with an import platform called Brandyond and aided countless companies in getting their healthy food and beverage products on the Chinese market. You can watch a video here of Gerry promoting the platform which was aired on CCTV News channel in China.
