Industries

Six industries. One way of working.

Whatever the category, the discipline is the same: verified suppliers, agreed specifications, inspected goods, honest reporting. Here is what we source every week — and what we have learned matters in each category.

01 / 06

Building & Construction Materials

Tiles, sanitary ware, doors, roofing, electrical fittings and site supplies for contractors and developers.

Floor & wall tiles
Sanitary ware & fittings
Doors, windows & profiles
Roofing sheets & materials
Electrical cables & fittings
Paint, adhesives & site supplies

Who buys this

Contractors, developers and hardware traders building across South Sudan and East Africa.

What we watch for

Construction cargo is heavy and margin-sensitive — container planning and quality grading matter more than unit price. We check load plans and grade consistency before anything ships.

02 / 06

Furniture & Home

Residential, office and hospitality furniture, lighting, and homeware from China's furniture manufacturing hubs.

Office desks & seating
Hotel & restaurant furniture
Sofas, beds & wardrobes
Lighting & décor
Kitchenware & homeware
Outdoor & garden furniture

Who buys this

Furniture showrooms, hotels, offices and project fit-out contractors.

What we watch for

Furniture lives or dies on packing. A perfect chair in a weak carton arrives broken in Juba — we inspect packaging as strictly as the product itself.

03 / 06

Electronics & Appliances

Consumer electronics, accessories, solar products and small appliances with proper testing before shipment.

Phones & accessories
Solar panels, batteries & inverters
TVs & audio equipment
Small home appliances
Computer equipment
Power tools & electricals

Who buys this

Electronics shops, solar installers and distributors serving off-grid and urban markets.

What we watch for

Every unit gets a function test before the balance payment — with electronics, the difference between suppliers shows up after 90 days of real use, so brand-history checks matter.

04 / 06

Textiles, Apparel & Footwear

Clothing, fabrics, shoes and accessories, including private-label programmes for growing retail brands.

Clothing & uniforms
Fabrics & garments by the bale
Shoes & sandals
Bags & accessories
Bedding & towels
Private-label programmes

Who buys this

Boutiques, market traders, schools and institutions, and growing retail brands.

What we watch for

Size curves, colour fastness and stitching density are where textile orders go wrong. We agree a sealed reference sample before production and inspect against it.

05 / 06

Machinery & Equipment

Agricultural, food-processing, packaging and light industrial machinery with supplier capability checks.

Agricultural machinery
Food processing lines
Packaging machines
Generators & compressors
Construction equipment
Spare parts programmes

Who buys this

Farmers, food processors, workshops and industrial entrepreneurs.

What we watch for

With machinery, after-sales is the real product: manuals, spare parts and installation guidance. We verify the factory actually engineers what it sells — not just assembles it.

06 / 06

General Merchandise & Retail

Household goods, stationery, toys and mixed retail assortments consolidated into efficient shipments.

Household plastics & utensils
Stationery & school supplies
Toys & baby products
Cosmetics & personal care
Kitchen & cleaning goods
Mixed container programmes

Who buys this

Supermarkets, wholesalers and general traders stocking fast-moving goods.

What we watch for

Mixed containers are our specialty for retail buyers: many small orders from Guangzhou's wholesale markets, consolidated, documented and shipped as one clean load.
