Built on military precision and 28 years of sourcing
Sourcing Captain is the personal mission of founder Gary Qiu — a procurement professional who grew up in a military family and built a sourcing operation around the same principle: orders given, results delivered.
From a Guangdong workshop to a global procurement bridge
Sourcing Captain started in 1997 with a simple insight: international buyers were paying premiums to middlemen for access to Chinese factories, and getting middling quality in return. Founder Gary Qiu — raised in a military family in Guangdong — set out to do it differently. Walk the factory floor. Audit the mill. Witness every shipment.
Twenty-eight years on, the playbook is the same. We work with the top 1% of Chinese manufacturers across raw materials, technical components and turnkey equipment. We don't sell catalogues — we run procurement projects end-to-end, from spec sheet to delivered cargo.
Our customers are engineering teams, project owners, OEM buyers and trading houses across five continents. Many have worked with us for over a decade.
