Hello Nairaland!

Season Greetings!

I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you all. Currently, I am in the early stages of establishing a manufacturing liaison consulting firm (concept phase) that aims to facilitate connections between small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria and manufacturers in China.

About Us:
We, the founders of this initiative, bring a wealth of diverse expertise to the table.

Dr. Cindino: With a doctorate in energy storage systems, I have spent three years in the automotive industry in Europe and Asia. My expertise lies in translating product/component specifications into actual products, implementing quality control checks, and ensuring the highest standards in product development and manufacturing processes.

Mr. A (not real name): My esteemed partner holds a Masters in Robotics and boasts a rich background in research, consultancy, and advisory services across Europe and Africa. His proficiency in robotics and strategic insights adds a unique dimension to our collaborative efforts.

Ms. J (not real name): Completing our trio, Ms. C brings her expertise with a Bachelor's in Sociology. Her experience in project management and regulatory compliance in Europe aligns seamlessly with our vision for ensuring smooth operations and adherence to industry standards.

Location:

t's worth noting that Ms. J and I will be stationed in China, ensuring a direct and hands-on approach to our liaison services in this crucial manufacturing hub

The Vision:
Our firm envisions becoming Expert Manufacturing Liaisons, guiding Nigerian SMEs through a seamless collaboration with Chinese manufacturers. We are committed to providing comprehensive services that prioritize:

Understanding Your Product and Business: Taking the time to thoroughly understand the unique aspects of your product and business, tailoring our services to meet your specific needs.

Facilities Communication: Bridging communication gaps between Nigerian SMEs and Chinese manufacturing facilities to foster transparency and efficiency.

Verification of Materials and Components: Ensuring the quality and reliability of materials and components used in the manufacturing process.

Testing & Inspection: Implementing rigorous testing and inspection protocols to guarantee the excellence of the final product.

Why China?
China, with its robust manufacturing capabilities and diverse industries, presents a wealth of opportunities for collaboration. However, navigating the complexities of international trade, language barriers, and cultural differences can be daunting. Our goal is to simplify this process, making it easier for Nigerian SMEs to access the expertise and resources available in the Chinese manufacturing landscape.
