Your export office in Asia
We work in Asian markets, but as part of your company.
We support Italian manufacturers with a structured export development service: concrete activities, clear timelines and measurable commercial objectives. This is not a one-off project, but a commercial process that evolves with your business.
Our work is led by a compact senior team of native Chinese, Japanese and Italian speakers, with direct experience in B2B export management between Europe and Asia. We have worked inside Asian companies, managed relationships with international buyers and developed commercial channels. We understand both sides of the table: how Italian manufacturers approach export growth, and how Asian buyers and partners evaluate suppliers.
Who we work with
For Italian food processing machinery manufacturers looking to enter, strengthen or build commercial relationships in Asia.
SMEs looking to enter China or other Asian markets, but without a clearly defined market entry plan yet.
Manufacturers already exporting successfully in Europe or North America, but that have not yet developed Asian markets.
Companies that have already tried to enter Asia, but without concrete commercial results.
Companies with initial contacts already open in Asia, but without a method to turn them into stable partnerships.
Hiring a senior export manager is a significant investment. Building in-house expertise for Asian markets requires time, resources and continuity.
Our model allows companies to develop the market without immediately building an internal structure: we start from commercial priorities and increase support only when the market justifies it.
How we work
A structured process, from understanding your current situation to developing concrete commercial opportunities.
01
Understand your starting point
Every collaboration starts from the company’s real situation. We assess your product, current positioning and commercial objectives to define priorities and the right starting point together.
02
Define the commercial direction
We identify the priority market and build a realistic, sustainable entry approach before investing time and resources in operational activities.
03
Enter the market
We move into action. We open commercial conversations in the target market, working alongside your export team on market development activities.
04
Consolidate and develop opportunities
In Asia, a commercial relationship that stops rarely starts again. For this reason, we follow each opportunity with continuity, adapting the level of support according to market responses.
Asia is a real opportunity.
But only for companies that know how to enter it.
Demand in Asia exists. And it includes your sector.
For an SME, a missed opportunity in Asia rarely comes back.

MARKET ENTRY STRATEGY
Many companies invest in the wrong markets or enter with an approach that does not fit the local context. We start from your real situation to define a clear direction.
We study your product, your positioning against competitors and the real conditions of the Asian markets you are considering. We assess which segments show concrete demand for your offer, which distribution channels are more accessible and which counterparts are worth approaching first.
At the end of this work, you will have a market entry plan with a priority market, a clear profile of the partners to look for and a sequence of operational actions with defined timing and priorities.
EXPORT DEVELOPMENT
Having a strong product is not enough if no one in Asia knows it exists. We put your company in front of the right commercial counterparts.
We identify distributors, importers and buyers in the target markets through focused research, industry databases and our contact network. We contact them in the local language, present your company, organise B2B meetings and coordinate the commercial conversations that follow.
We work as your dedicated Asia export team: every contact, every conversation and every opportunity is followed directly by us, while staying aligned with your commercial structure.
DIGITAL EXPORT GROWTH
Without a localised digital presence and clear positioning, your product remains invisible in the markets you want to develop.
We localise your commercial materials, brand positioning and digital communication for Asian markets. We work on multilingual websites, international SEO, social channels, email campaigns and presence on sector-specific B2B platforms.
Every digital activity is coordinated with export development: materials, content and channels follow commercial objectives, not a separate marketing logic.
ONGOING EXPORT PARTNERSHIP
In Asia, how you manage the relationship after the first meeting matters as much as the product you offer.
We follow every active contact with the continuity Asian markets require: fast response times, local-language communication and availability aligned with your counterparts’ time zones. We coordinate communication between you and the buyers, keep every conversation moving and assess which opportunities deserve priority.
We provide periodic reports with market feedback and the status of active opportunities. Our work does not stop at the first order; it continues until a stable and lasting commercial partnership is built.
