Cosmetics · Supplements · Korea presence

Build better products with the right Korean partner.

We find and qualify Korean manufacturers for cosmetics, hair care and supplements, then run the factory visits, the negotiation and the paperwork in Korean. When you need a registered presence in Korea, the same team is already here.

What we do for foreign companies

Two things, and most clients start with the first. We find what you want made in Korea and manage it through to shipment. When you also need a registered presence here, we are that too.

1. Sourcing & manufacturing

Whether you already sell in Korea or only buy from it, the work is the same: find the right factory, prove it is real, hold it to the terms, and get the goods out with documents that clear customs.

Beauty is where we hold the deepest relationships. Supplements, industrial pipe and alloys, and general sourcing run on the same process.

2. Korea branch & representation

Most foreign companies open a one-person Korean branch, then discover that one person cannot cover sales, admin, translation, banking and supplier visits at once — and that replacing them means starting over.

We take that role instead. We handle the entity work, act as your local contact, and when you need someone dedicated to your account, we recruit a Korean staff member for your work and manage them here.

Cosmetics importer

A supply relationship that had already broken down

Situation: The importer had lost its business with a well-known Korean cosmetics company. The break came from communication rather than commercial terms, and it was costing them money.
What we did: We reopened the conversation with the Korean side in Korean, worked through what had actually gone wrong, and rebuilt the working relationship.
Outcome: A new contract was signed. Orders were placed and supply resumed.

Building materials importer

A specification no one abroad could match

Situation: The buyer needed a product built to a specific specification and could not find a Korean manufacturer able to make it.
What we did: We identified the manufacturer, confirmed the product against the specification, and secured the supply.
Outcome: Around ten containers a year now ship on this line.

Why a one-person branch usually disappoints

The maths looks simple from abroad. One salary, one desk, one point of contact in Korea. In practice the person spends most of their week on things that are not sales: bank paperwork, tax filings, translating documents, chasing a supplier, arranging a visit.

And there is no cover. When they are ill, travelling or leave the company, your Korea operation stops. Recruiting a replacement from abroad, in a language you do not read, takes months.

Using us, you get a team rather than a person, an office that already exists, and continuity that does not depend on one individual staying. If the volume later justifies your own entity and staff, we set that up too.
