Origin East’s experience in international sourcing and procurement dates back to 2002, beginning with the procurement of specialist equipment for construction and industrial projects in Europe.
Early projects included sourcing equipment for a semi-automated precast concrete manufacturing facility in Ireland. This experience led to larger industrial projects in Dubai and subsequently Qatar, where increasing project demands, technical requirements and delivery schedules created the need for a broader international supplier network.
By 2007, procurement activities had expanded into Asia, establishing direct relationships with manufacturers to source industrial machinery, construction materials, equipment and consumables. Working directly with manufacturers provided greater control over product specifications, manufacturing quality, commercial terms and production schedules.
In 2013, Origin East was formally established in Tianjin, China, as a licensed trading, import and export company. Strategically located near Beijing and the Port of Tianjin, the company provides international clients with direct access to Chinese manufacturers and coordinated procurement services.
Today, Origin East supports businesses across the Middle East, Europe and other international markets, providing sourcing and procurement solutions tailored to individual project requirements.
