Let’s face it – original design manufacturing is hard.
It’s hard enough inventing something, but it’s even harder bringing it to life.
Coming up with the idea from scratch, finding the right manufacturer, getting your product specifications just right…
In order to take your idea from plan to production, you need experience, expertise and representation.
Thing is, most manufacturers simply can’t be bothered with ODM. The thought of working on a prototype for months before they even receive an order isn’t exactly “easy business” for them.
Likewise, communicating the specific details of your prototype to your manufacturer can be tricky – and unless you speak Chinese, finding someone who can do it for you is even trickier.
You’ve got an idea, pages full of sketches and specs – but how can you find a partner who understands your vision and wants to work with you to bring it to life?
That’s where we come in.
Sourcing the RIGHT Manufacturing Partner is Tough – We’ll Do it For You!
It’s a challenge to find the right partner for ODM – but not for us.
We’re an Aussie-owned company with registered offices on the ground in China. Our English-speaking team of experts understands your needs and communicates them to your manufacturer, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
We’ll represent you on the ground in China and make sure you’re project is taken seriously. We’ll connect you with a manufacturer that’s eager to work with you and will treat you like an equal partner.
We keep you up to date with the development process and hold your hand every step of the way.
It’s Original Design Manufacturing made easy.
Here’s how we bring your product to life
Our unique three-phase sourcing process makes getting your products developed easy and stress-free.
Phase 01
Supplier Identification & Verification
It’s not enough to just have an idea. You’re going to need the right manufacturer in your corner.
That’s where we come in.
The first step is to find a manufacturing partner that’s the right fit for your business and your vision.
We’re your representation, your voice, to make sure you’re treated like an equal partner. This means you’ll cut through the noise and find a professional manufacturer who will take you seriously.
Your supplier will need exceptionally clear translations and communication to get your specs right – so our team will make sure they’re well equipped to make your vision to reality.
It’s the suppliers we knock back that makes us different.
As a registered Chinese company, we explore what expenses the factory has, how long they’ve been in business, their average order size, etc.
Our strict vetting criteria means you’re only doing business with trustworthy factories.
We perform extensive background checks to make sure that your supplier is the real deal, and can deliver on your vision.
If they don’t meet our requirements, you won’t be dealing with them. It’s as simple as that.
Phase 02
Order Management & Negotiation
Our team has decades of experience working with Chinese factories to develop original products.
Let us take care of the heavy lifting and ensure your supplier truly understands your product vision.
We use our experience and expertise to communicate your product needs so the supplier fully understands your specific order.
We check your prototype with our strict quality assurance system making sure it’s perfect – before production begins. If there are any concerns, we’ll work with the factory on your behalf to get them resolved.
We’ll also monitor the production along the way to ensure consistency with your specifications, and step in (as needed) to make the entire process hassle-free.
Order Management and Negotiation
We manage the manufacturing and negotiate the best price on your behalf.
Sample Management
We work directly with the supplier to ensure your sample is created to specifications.
Production Management
We’ll keep you up to date with progress reports and ongoing communication.
No More Getting Lost In Translation.
With our team on the ground in China, we guarantee you’re getting exactly what you order.
Our English-speaking team of experts will communicate your unique requirements to the supplier, giving you peace of mind and ensuring that they deliver the exact product you’ve ordered.
It gets better. As we’re based in China and understand the business culture, we can often get you a better price, lower MOQ and a supplier who genuinely wants to do business with you.
It’s all about giving you peace of mind knowing that we’re handling everything to bring your vision to life.
Phase 03
Quality Control, Shipping & Customs Management
We’ll handle all dealings with logistics, customs brokers and your supplier, giving you peace of mind door to door.
Once production is complete, we provide quality control and help navigate shipping to get your order where it needs to go.
And if anything goes wrong? We have your back. If you experience a product defect or your order is incorrect, our team will handle that before it ever goes to port.
We take care of the complicated process of customs and logistics. This is something you just don’t have to do. We’ll get your order safely to where it needs to go.
No Balance Payments Until You’re Satisfied.
Many suppliers promise the world… and don’t deliver.
Our team conduct independent quality control inspections of your order to prevent any ‘nasty surprises’.
No more ‘false-positive’ inspection reports from the factory.
We’ll publish a comprehensive report on your order to confirm the product is as you expect; it matches the samples, it conforms to your exact specifications.
Until our team gives you the ‘thumbs up’ on your order, you won’t make a balance payment. Simple as that.

The Australian Importing Company Team have made my Original Design Product a reality in China.
Their attention to detail to source the most capable factory and get my product right was first class.
The connection and ease of communication between the Melbourne and China offices is extremely professional – and having someone as experienced as Adam in Melbourne to call whenever I needed was invaluable.
Highly recommend AIC sourcing services!
One Stone Manufacturing
We use a ton of consumable items in our business and it just didn’t make sense to keep paying wholesale rates in Australia. That’s when we reached out to AIC and had their team take over.
We came to them with a wide range of products and one after another we were able to find great suppliers to import from. We slashed our operating expenses and saved a fortune on our bottom line. If you’re looking for the best, look no further than AIC.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank yourself and your company for all of your efforts in sourcing New Age Caravans.
The order arrived In mint condition and look and work fantastic. I especially love that you could Brand our logo on them.
I was very impressed with your service, help and patience especially in these troubling COVID 19 times.
I look forward to dealing with AIC and having more items sourced in the near future.
New Age Caravans
Amazing interactive customer service. They really don’t stop until the job is done! Looking forward to working with AIC in the future.
Silver Raven
I have been dealing with the Australian importing Company since May 2019. They have from the very start been professional, transparent, informative and accommodating.
They made the entire process easy. We started with a brief scope of what I needed and then I left it to them to find prototypes.
We then received a sample and gave feedback until we came to the final product. We asked for the AIC to do the quality control in China and work with the shipper.
For someone like me who was so new to important, AIC was by our side the entire way through and made us so comfortable with everything.
Thanks to their efforts, we are now looking at expanding into our own range. I could not recommend Adam and the team enough.
