What We Do
In short, we help manufacturers and distributors from different countries find each other and make good deals. But we go way beyond that.

  • To manufacturers, we help to find new distributors and customers in new markets and enter new countries, as well as find new suppliers of materials, parts, and equipment. Learn more about that here.

  • To distributors, wholesalers, and retailers we help to find reliable suppliers and interesting products for profitable resale. Learn more here.

  • To everyone, we help with negotiations, search and validation of information, export and import documents, dispute resolution, process improvement, and practically everything related to international sales and international business.
Where We Are
Our head office is in Lakewood, New Jersey, but we can help you virtually anywhere in the world (except territories under US sanctions or restrictions).

  • We partnered with Peter on several major procurement projects, and his expertise was extremely valuable. He connected us with top suppliers for LPG and oil processing equipment, and highly effective chemicals for our oil fields and rigs. In an international setting where unique and costly materials are involved, and mistakes can mean millions in losses, reliability is everything. I can confidently say John’s work is exceptional. He is one of the most engaged and mindful professionals I’ve encountered in my 23 years of business.

  • The expertise of Peter’s team in international e-commerce practices and internet marketing is unparalleled. They not only helped us set up a new e-commerce venture in a new country but also provided invaluable insights to improve conversions, retain customers, and boost profits of our e-commerce site in the US, leading to remarkable growth.

  • Peter and his team were instrumental in building our purchasing and sourcing processes and upskilling our purchasing department. They managed supplier selection, organized tenders, led negotiations, and identified and removed weaknesses in contracts with our suppliers working closely together with our in-house purchasing and legal teams - protecting us from significant risks and losses. Thanks to Peter’s efforts, we extended our supplier payment terms from an average of 7 days to 36, greatly improving our cash flow. Over two years, their work directly saved our company over $6 million.

  • Peter provided invaluable insights into the US market, offering a detailed analysis of our products’ potential (novelty organic cleaning supplies) and the competitive landscape. His team connected us with contract manufacturers in the US, guiding us to the best options for our specific needs. They also helped set up production, marketing, and e-commerce sales across our website, Amazon, and other key marketplaces. The only thing I can say about Peter – I was a little skeptical at first, but now, he’s my good friend and one of the most reliable persons I’ve ever met. Thank you!
