Importivity is The Product Sourcing Company for Modern Business
We connect you with vetted manufacturers worldwide, manage compliance, and protect your margins with transparent, tariff-aware sourcing services.
What does a Product Sourcing Company do?
A product sourcing company helps businesses identify, vet, and manage manufacturers so products can be produced at the right cost, quality, and timeline. The role goes far beyond simply finding a factory. A sourcing partner audits suppliers, negotiates MOQs, manages sampling and tooling, oversees quality inspections, and coordinates logistics to ensure smooth delivery. At Importivity, our product sourcing services are designed to eliminate hidden costs, reduce risk, and give you access to global suppliers in plastics, metals, electronics, and textiles. In short, we make international manufacturing predictable and profitable.

Plastics Manufacturing Sourcing Services
Plastics are a category where many businesses lose money. Tooling is expensive, MOQs can be high, and quality often slips if production is not carefully monitored. Importivity is the product sourcing company that makes plastics profitable instead of painful.
We manage the entire plastics supply chain. That means sourcing factories in China, Vietnam, and Mexico, overseeing tooling and mold design, validating resin selection, and enforcing compliance standards like FDA, REACH, and RoHS. Our product sourcing services include in-line and final inspections to protect against quality drift, helping you avoid costly rework.
- Injection molded components for automotive, industrial, and consumer goods
- Blow-molded bottles, packaging, and containers
- High-tolerance precision plastics for technical applications
Metal Fabrication Sourcing Services
Metals demand accuracy. If tolerances, finishes, or certifications are missed, the result is expensive rework or scrap. Importivity acts as your manufacturer sourcing partner by connecting you with audited factories capable of CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, casting, and stamping.
Where a typical product sourcing agency might stop at an introduction, Importivity provides full oversight. We validate factory certifications, confirm equipment capacity, and implement QA/QC at every step. Whether you need large-scale automotive stamping or aerospace-grade CNC machining, our sourcing process ensures the result meets both your technical requirements and your cost goals.
- CNC aluminum housings and enclosures with tight tolerances
- Steel stamping and casting for automotive and industrial use
- Specialty alloys with advanced surface treatments such as anodizing or powder coating
Electronics Assembly Sourcing Services
Electronics sourcing is not just about finding a factory to assemble parts. It is about ensuring every component meets compliance standards and every assembly step is managed under strict quality control. Importivity functions as a product sourcing agency with full EMS oversight, from PCB assembly to integrated consumer products.
We source from trusted facilities in China, Vietnam, and India that specialize in PCB surface-mount and through-hole assembly. We implement quality controls that include solder inspection, functional testing, and full compliance with CE, RoHS, and FCC standards. Unlike many sourcing companies that leave after the introduction, Importivity stays with you through every phase of production and logistics.
- PCB assembly using SMT and through-hole processes with traceability systems
- Consumer electronics accessories such as chargers, wearables, and audio devices
- Integrated products that combine plastics, metals, and electronic components
Textiles & Apparel Sourcing Services
Textiles and apparel require speed, flexibility, and reliable compliance. Fashion cycles are short, and not every factory can handle fast shifts in style or material demand. Importivity is one of the few product sourcing companies that maintains a vetted network of textile factories across Vietnam, India, China, and Mexico.
Our team handles sourcing of raw fabrics, manages embellishments such as embroidery, and confirms compliance with labor and safety standards. Through our manufacturer sourcing process, we protect your brand reputation while giving you the flexibility to scale orders up or down depending on demand.
- Cotton uniforms and garments with consistent quality across runs
- Sportswear and performance fabrics with moisture-wicking capabilities
- High-tolerance industrial plastics

Our Proven Product Sourcing Process
Importivity is not just another product sourcing company. Our process is built to remove uncertainty and protect margins at every stage. Here is how we make global sourcing predictable, transparent, and profitable:
Step 1
Discovery
We start by defining product specifications, compliance requirements, target costs, and timelines. This step ensures we source the right factory from the start and align with your business goals.
Step 2
Factory Vetting
Our team identifies, audits, and validates manufacturers from our global network. Unlike many sourcing companies that hand over a list of names, we confirm certifications, capacity, and reliability before you commit.
Step 3
Sampling & Tooling
We oversee prototype development, mold and tooling creation, and pre-production validation. This stage is critical in plastics manufacturing, metal fabrication, and electronics assembly, where tooling costs and tolerances can make or break profitability.
Step 4
Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC)
Importivity conducts inspections at every stage: pre-production, in-line, and final. This prevents quality drift, reduces rework, and ensures your products meet the standards of both your customers and regulators.
Step 5
Compliance & Packaging
We manage testing, labeling, and certification for markets like the U.S. and EU. Whether it is RoHS for electronics, FDA for plastics, or labor compliance for textiles, our product sourcing services protect you from hidden liabilities.
Step 6
Logistics
Our logistics team coordinates everything from factory floor to final delivery. We work with vetted freight forwarders and manage customs documentation so you avoid delays and hidden costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!
What does a product sourcing company do?
A product sourcing company connects businesses with vetted manufacturers, manages production, and oversees compliance. Importivity goes further by providing product sourcing services that include tariff-aware cost modeling, factory audits, sampling and tooling, QA/QC inspections, and logistics management.
How are Importivity’s product sourcing services different from other sourcing companies?
Many sourcing companies only make introductions. Importivity operates as a full-service product sourcing agency. We manage the entire process: factory vetting, MOQ negotiations, compliance checks, packaging, and shipping. This means you avoid hidden costs, miscommunication, and quality drift.
Do you offer manufacturer sourcing as well as product sourcing?
Yes. We specialize in manufacturer sourcing for plastics, metals, textiles, and electronics. Our team audits facilities, validates certifications, and ensures every supplier can meet technical requirements before you commit.
What industries are best served by your product sourcing services?
Importivity provides product sourcing services across multiple industries, including:
Plastics manufacturing sourcing (injection molding, blow molding, packaging)
Metal fabrication sourcing (CNC machining, stamping, sheet metal, casting)
Electronics assembly sourcing (PCB, SMT, consumer electronics)
Textiles and apparel sourcing (garments, uniforms, technical fabrics)
How do you protect against hidden costs in products sourcing?
Hidden costs are the biggest risk with products sourcing. Tooling, tariffs, shipping delays, and compliance issues can erode margins. Importivity prevents this by modeling landed costs upfront and managing each stage of production with strict QA/QC.
How do you handle MOQ negotiations for startups?
Factories in China, Vietnam, India, and Mexico often prefer large MOQs. Importivity negotiates smaller runs, identifies factories with flexible terms, and offers alternative sourcing strategies so startups can launch without tying up cash in excess inventory.
What is the difference between a product sourcing company and a product sourcing agency?
A product sourcing company typically finds suppliers. A product sourcing agency manages the entire sourcing ecosystem, including compliance, QA/QC, and logistics. Importivity operates as both, giving you the tactical reach of a company with the strategic support of an agency.
Do you only source in China?
No. While China sourcing remains a cornerstone, Importivity also operates in Vietnam, Mexico, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Each region has unique strengths, and we help you decide which is the best fit for your project.
How do you ensure compliance with regulations?
We confirm certifications such as ISO, CE, RoHS, FDA, and labor compliance before production starts. Our QA/QC team conducts inspections during production and verifies packaging and labeling before shipment. This is what sets Importivity apart from generic sourcing companies.
How do you handle QA/QC in electronics assembly sourcing?
For electronics assembly sourcing, Importivity requires ESD-safe environments, traceability, and functional testing. We audit factories, enforce CE/RoHS/FCC standards, and conduct in-line inspections to prevent costly recalls.
Can you source both plastics and metals for the same product?
Yes. Many products combine multiple materials. As a product sourcing company, Importivity manages complex projects that require plastics manufacturing sourcing and metal fabrication sourcing together, coordinating both suppliers to deliver a single finished product.
Do you work with both startups and enterprise companies?
Yes. We help startups with small runs and flexible MOQs, while also supporting enterprise clients with high-volume, multi-region sourcing strategies. Importivity’s product sourcing services are designed to scale with your business.
How do I know which country is best for my manufacturing?
The choice depends on cost, speed, MOQs, and compliance. China offers scale, Vietnam delivers tariff advantages, Mexico provides nearshore speed, India offers low labor costs, and Japan/South Korea excel at precision. Importivity helps you compare options so you select the best sourcing location.
What is the first step to start working with Importivity?
Book a free discovery call. We will review your product specifications, sourcing goals, and timelines. From there, we provide a detailed sourcing roadmap that outlines the best factories, regions, and strategies to meet your needs.
What is a product sourcer, and how is it different from a sourcing company?
A product sourcer is simply another term for a product sourcing specialist someone who identifies, vets, and manages manufacturers on your behalf. At Importivity, our team acts as both your sourcing company and your product sourcer, ensuring you get the best mix of cost, quality, and compliance without having to manage overseas factories yourself.
