Helping you get the best results from your Asian suppliers
through expert quality assurance, product
engineering,
and supply chain management — all under one roof.
Who we are?
The Sofeast group helps you take control of your manufacturing in Asia with
transparency.
We combine a
blend of quality assurance, product engineering, and supply chain management services to reduce your
risk, improve product reliability, and keep your projects on track, from early development through to
mass production.
With teams on the ground in China, India, and across Asia, plus in-house capabilities including contract
manufacturing (in India & China), a reliability testing lab (in China), and logistics support (in
China), we give you the visibility and technical backing needed to make better decisions and avoid
costly mistakes.
We provide on-the-ground support in China, India, and Southeast Asia to improve supplier
relationships, production, and quality.
Our group includes a reliability lab, contract manufacturer, mold tooling workshop, and
plastic/silicone/metal part facility, giving you practical, fast, and coordinated execution.
Transparency and ethics are central to our work. We protect your IP and supply chain
information, tailor strategies to your objectives, and share all gathered data.
We work exclusively for you and never retain information to limit your independence to work with
other companies.
Our company’s mission is to allow designers and inventors to develop and manufacture innovative products on Time, on Cost, and on Quality. In each of our departments, ensure client satisfaction means the teams need to be focused on different goals, as shown below.
Transform concepts into manufacturable designs ready for industrialisation.
