Best Price, Best Quality
Mr. Benson, Canada
Business Owner, Author
Purchases:
Custom flags and T-shirts
Tired of spending thousands of dollars on his customized flags, Mr. Benson began searching the Chinese market. On his own, he managed to lower his cost from 50USD/unit to 7 USD. But then in 2019, he was introduced to SDI, and we lowered his cost to only 3 USD/unit, logistics included! And not only that, but the flags we sourced were a larger size and better quality!
Pleased with our services, Mr. Benson then requested that we source customized t-shirts for him. We reduced his cost from 12 USD/shirt to only 3 USD! And once again, he was pleased to see that the quality was much better than he was getting from his American supplier. Today, SDI is the only choice when his organization orders new supplies.

SDI is Here for You!
Mr. Gaya, Nigeria
Business Owner
Purchases:
Agricultural machinery
Already experienced with the Chinese market, Mr. Gaya was having difficulty finding a manufacturer willing to provide him with a certain piece of equipment. Then he found SDI, and we secured the machine he was looking for, with the customizations he required. Impressed not only with the quality of the machine, but also with the professionalism and efficiency of SDI, we are now his first choice for completing his purchases with approximately a half million USD/year in sales since 2019.
We have contacts in cities all across China. If we cannot find what you are looking for, then it simply doesn’t exist! We meet regularly with our manufacturers, inspect their facilities and manufacturing processes and conduct strict quality control tests. No detail is too small to be overlooked here at SDI!
What can SDI do for you?
Communication + Persistence = RESULTS!
Mr. Yut, Thailand
Mechanical Engineer
Business Owner
Purchases:
Large agricultural harvesters
Personal Agent Services
This is a project from the forestry department of Thailand, to provide qualified machinery to harvest cornstalk for 8 million square kilometers corn farm.
At the time that Vichian contacted SDI, there were no harvesters currently in production that were suitable for the required project. So to obtain a better understanding of their requirements, we visited their site in Bangkok, Thailand to meet with their engineers. Large agricultural harvesters are very sophisticated machinery, and it took over 6 months of trials until we were able to finally deliver a suitable product. Following the success of this transaction, his company continues to use SDI as a Personal Agent for quality control.

Too Good to Be True?
SDI Finds the Truth!
Mr. Kumar, India
Business Manager
Purchase:
Smart Watches
Supplier Verification
Mr. Kumar found what looked like an incredible deal on smartwatches from China. The price was so low that it seemed almost impossible to refuse. But before making payment, he asked SDI to verify the supplier and product information.
After checking the seller, requesting samples, reviewing the communication, and investigating the product evidence, SDI discovered that there was no real supplier and no real smartwatches. The photos and videos had been taken from the Internet, and the entire offer was a scam. Because SDI stepped in before payment, Mr. Kumar avoided losing his money.
When a supplier’s offer looks too good to be true, how can you know if it is real before you pay?

Taras, a business owner from Ottawa, Ontario, was uncertain about the reliability and pricing of the Chinese suppliers he had found.
