Every step of a China engagement, built over 25+ years of work with foreign and domestic enterprises. Take a single service on its own, or run the whole programme through one point of contact at our Bund office.
The groundwork that turns a business plan into a real presence in China — research, strategy, exhibitions, and product testing.
Industry sizing, competitive landscape, distributor mapping, and channel benchmarking — the homework behind a credible China business case.
We refine your entry strategy to align with your business plan — choosing the right structure, partner, and sequencing for the Chinese market.
Exhibitions are a common — and proven — first step into the Chinese market, where you can converse directly with industry experts and grow your network. Using our network and experience, we facilitate the whole process, help you win orders on-site, and secure long-term development after the show closes.
Preparation
On the floor
Follow-through
Startups often lack the credibility to get taken seriously in the Chinese market. We arrange pilot-run placements with trusted manufacturers so your product can prove itself under real working conditions — and we handle the introductions, the testing logistics, and the test reports.
Through decades of relationship-building, E-HENG has become the authorized supplier to many Chinese manufacturers and laboratories — and entered nearly every university lab and major automobile factory's supplier system in China.
ChineseAgent, together with E-HENG, has built a vast network of end users across China. Through cooperation with key partners — Thermo Fisher Scientific, PerkinElmer, ZEISS, Agilent Technologies, Shimadzu, Sartorius, Hamilton, MB Dynamics, HEAD acoustics, PCB Piezotronics, MTS Systems, Canon Electron and more — we have entered almost all university laboratories and the supplier systems of all large automobile factories in China.
We facilitate partner search through our team of experts, agents, and consultants — supporting you fully from initial contact through to the signing of the final agreement with your partners or distributors. We can also select and introduce top sales experts to quickly build an efficient marketing and technical end-user support team.
SciLeads maintains one of the world's most accurate and comprehensive databases of research scientists. We use it to identify, engage, and qualify prospects for our clients — which makes lead generation and market research considerably faster.
We set up and run the management system behind your sales — finance, storage, delivery, and after-sales service. Our staff conduct and manage direct or online sales, and we also supervise the sales processes of wholesalers and distributors, including VAT management.
We design a distributor-management system around your goals for the Chinese market, then run your marketing plan to your standards and within government regulations. The system stays open to you, so you can read industry trends and shift resources between markets.
Where language is a barrier, a Chinese website keeps the conversation going — end users understand your company far better when product documents are in Chinese. Because of network restrictions we recommend hosting inside China, so domestic users get a fast, familiar experience. We connect you with professional development partners to build it.
For enterprises dissatisfied with their current distribution channels, we audit, restructure, and operate a better one — protecting brand and revenue continuity.
From customs clearance and end-to-end supply chain to people, payroll, capital, and intellectual property — the operational backbone that keeps your China business running.
Located in Shanghai — China's largest logistics centre — we provide end-to-end supply-chain management that connects your products to customers on time while maximising logistical efficiency. Wherever your goods are, our management centre coordinates the full journey.
We recruit, evaluate, and manage the most qualified candidates to represent your interests in China. If you aim to build your own sales team but are unsure how to find the right people, our thorough screening — written tests, interviews, background checks, and medical examinations — secures a reliable, honest, and stable workforce.
Individual taxes and social-insurance funds can be challenging. We sign employment, consulting and contract agreements with workers, and manage declarations and contributions to social security and insurance funds. We also offer comprehensive payroll management — pay calculation, distribution, individual income-tax declarations, contributions, and payroll reporting.
Securing the right capital at the right time is critical for any start-up — and professional backing strengthens credibility with customers and partners. With our dedicated team, we connect start-ups to local and international investors. Combining our global network with outcome-driven success fees, our success is tied directly to yours — and we can act as a strategic, long-term investment partner, not just a source of cash.
Once you have agreements with partners and distributors, we manage your wider company needs — industry research, organisation of distribution models, market research, pricing-strategy consulting, and allocation of market share. We also arrange face-to-face meetings and any other contact needed to facilitate the partnership.
We provide office facilities, meeting rooms and showrooms for rent — greatly reducing your working cost in China while promoting your corporate image. Our agents handle product-information enquiries, customer complaints, system support, transaction monitoring, and financial / non-financial transactions, following up with suppliers and initiating internal transfers, deposit booking, and FX booking.
CNIPA filings are paperwork-heavy and unforgiving for a newcomer. We work with leading local patent firms to coordinate your China filing from start to finish — patent-landscape analysis, prior-art checks, CNIPA-compliant claims, translation, electronic submission, and direct liaison with examiners.
We believe in the companies we represent — enough to help them raise capital, and in select cases, to invest alongside them.
For startups, capital and market entry go hand in hand. We connect the companies we work with to investors inside and outside China — strategic investors among our manufacturing and research partners, and private investment groups looking for proven foreign technology. We help you prepare a China-credible story, then put you in the room.
For select startups we represent, we go beyond services and invest our own capital alongside your China market entry. When we invest, we succeed only when your China business does.
Our distribution and customs work is concentrated in scientific, industrial, and precision-equipment categories — the sectors that built E-HENG's reputation over the last 25 years.
Measurement, analytical, and testing equipment.
Precision machinery, stud-welding, tyre re-treading, pneumatic conveying, and components.
For universities, contract research organisations, and corporate R&D centres across China.
Vehicle components, durability-test rigs, and measurement systems for automotive R&D and quality control.
