Something we are often asked as a translation provider is if we can advise companies on how to source products from China.

One company we have worked with who specialize in this area is Chirl Sourcing.

Chirl Sourcing is a leading,experienced and innovative expert in sourcing products and components for clients who want to improve their profits With offices in Ireland and China, Chirl sources high quality product at low cost. Currently our strongest growth area is the mobile phone accessory, and promotional industries, but also we are helping a lot of companies with new inventions from concept to a mass produced product.

Source Chinese Products with Chirl sourcing

An example of their work with SECA Innovations: Chirls client, SECA Innovations, the patent holder of the multihook tape measure, enlisted the help of Chirl to turn his patented  invention into a reality.

Within four weeks Chirl had assisted SECA Innovations in engineering the tape hook and designing an ergonomic housing unique to the multihook tape. Chirl were entrusted with turning sketches and prototypes into 3D drawings and renderings, tooling the product for manufacture, manufacturing the tape, strict quality control monitoring and distribution of this unique product.

Chirl’s objective is to save your company’s valuable resources, in  both time and money, and we do this by providing the following services:

•        Sourcing products to your specification

•        Manufacturing Supervision
