Vietnam-Based Sourcing & Procurement

Source from Vietnam. Without being in Vietnam.

GroundSource helps international businesses identify, verify and manage Vietnamese manufacturers — with local support on the ground in Vietnam.

Already know what you need? Send us the product, specification, image or current sourcing requirement and we'll assess whether Vietnam is a viable sourcing market for it.

Why GroundSource

Why source through GroundSource?

01

On-the-ground presence

We operate from Vietnam and can work directly with local manufacturers instead of managing everything remotely.

02

Local communication

We work with Vietnamese professionals who can communicate directly with factories and help reduce language and cultural misunderstandings.

03

Factory-level sourcing

We focus on identifying genuine manufacturers rather than simply forwarding enquiries through layers of intermediaries.

04

Supplier verification

Where appropriate, suppliers can be checked, visited and verified before a client commits to a significant order.

05

One point of contact

GroundSource helps coordinate the sourcing process so international buyers do not need to separately manage translators, factories, inspectors and logistics contacts.

Why Vietnam

A major global manufacturing base

Vietnam has become a significant manufacturing base across a wide range of categories, including:

  • Furniture & wood products
  • Machinery & equipment
  • Textiles & apparel
  • Footwear
  • Electronics & components
  • Rubber & plastic products
  • Ceramics
  • Metal products
  • Coffee & agricultural products
  • Other manufactured goods
Not every product is economically or operationally suitable for sourcing from Vietnam. GroundSource evaluates each sourcing request individually before recommending next steps.

Sourcing Request

What does your business need sourced?
