OUR SERVICES

Tri-State does not sell on behalf of manufacturers. We work as part of your purchasing team by providing the best sources for your products, whether they can be finished goods, components or sub-assemblies.

Our team can also help you developing your own items with original designs using the services of our experienced staff of engineers and soft goods designers.

In addition, our team can also source off-the-shelf products that meet your needs without requiring the high cost of development.

Our in-house quality control department, reporting directly to senior management, inspects each consignment before shipment to ensure that your required standards are met.

Sourcing

For an off-the-shelf item, we identify the manufacturer and negotiate the best purchase price. If the item is to be newly manufactured, we provide vendor survey reports on potential manufacturers. These contain an evaluation of each maker’s production capability, management skills, engineering strength, quality assurance, inspection, shipment logistics as well as warehouse facility. Our careful vendor selection ensures the delivery of quality products on time and at competitive prices.

Even if your product is nothing more than an idea, Tri-State can turn it into reality. Our in-house designers and engineers can develop a product from the original concept, through the design and engineering stages and on to final production. In addition, we also work with Hong Kong’s many independent designing firms to create the product required.
