What product are you making?

I have experience with factories that make:

Apparel
Backpacks
Baseball Hats
Socks
Leather
Furniture
Plastic Injection
Electronics
Shoes
Packaging

If your product is new to me, I will find the factory making it. Clients don't pay me for their product expertise. They pay me because I know Vietnam well and find factories fast.

A Bit About Me

My name is Chris Walker. I am a Vietnam sourcing expert with 15+ years experience in Ho Chi Minh City. I serve influencers, start-ups and established brands that want to tour factories in Vietnam and produce in Vietnam.

My passion is learning and teaching. If you have experience already then I quickly introduce you to factories I know and share with you their strengths and weaknesses. If you are new to the game and you just want to learn how manufacturing works then I'm your man. I will explain everything from designing all the way through to shipping.

Questions I have for you: Do you have tech packs? Have you filled in a quantity breakdown list? How will you control quality? And finally, do you want to work directly with factory or through an agent?

We met with Chris online to discuss production possibilities in Vietnam. With years of experience in production and a solid network in Vietnam, Chris can help you getting background info regarding producing in Vietnam and the best way to get started. He can connect you to some factories and give you tips how to proceed in a professional and pro active way. Looking forward to travel to Vietnam soon and move on with our (production) goals. Thank you Chris for setting us in the right direction, I'm sure we will meet in person one day.

Chris is a great resource in Vietnam if you have any sourcing needs. His expertise saved us a lot of time and money while evaluating Vietnam as a potential location for producing our goods. I highly recommend his services!

I have known Chris for several years. I remember when we met in person at the Sourcing at Magic show in the Vietnam Pavilion (pre-COVID) after having communicated online. We have stayed in touch via Linkedin discussing various industry topics. I enjoy reading his posts about life and business in Vietnam. They seem truly authentic and offer insight to what is happening on the ground in Vietnam apparel manufacturing. If you need a trusted source in Vietnam then I recommend Chris.

"I found Chris through his blog. I was in need of someone that could make me samples for my prototype in Vietnam. He was able to connect me with someone that could help immediately after my consultation. I would recommend Chris if you need resources in the apparel industry."

What makes Vietnam so popular is the social-economic-political stability. During my 15+ years of living here I have seen the government make decisions that have led to the lower and middle class rise to a better and better standard of living year by year. Simply put, 90% of people who visit here for business leave with a feeling of wanting to return.

Are you searching for a better price? Have you heard that quality in Vietnam is very good? In my humble opinion, the reason to choose Vietnam over other countries is the nature of Vietnamese people. It is safe, the food is good, the people are nice and the government is pro-business.
