E-commerce China Agency imports and distributes international products to the most reliable local distributors. The company was founded in 2012 and is based in Shanghai, China. We are a dedicated division to distribution in China, in the Gentlemen Marketing Agency (GMA).

What are the distributors we work with within China?

• Supermarket chains
• Online resellers
• Chinese distributors for hotels
• Chinese distributors for restaurants

We work for International Brands

 It makes particular sense for International companies to sell their product into China through distributors and resellers.

Meeting a distributor is easy, partnering with a reliable distributor is way more complex. There are more than 10K distributors in China. You need to understand this jungle before navigating through it.

Are Chinese Distributors your Friends?

Actually, not really as mentioned by Forbes. Why? Because distributors are only interested in their profits. They will not work on your branding, your marketing, or your potential opportunities. They will just sell your products and get the money. This is why you should never sign a contract of exclusivity with a distributor. The moment you sign, your brand is their property… for 5 years! Distributors will have no hard feelings doing exactly what they want with your brand to generate sales despite preserving your brand image or DNA.

The Food & Beverage Chinese Market

The Food & Beverage segment is full of opportunities in China. Local consumers are interested in international products for their exotism and health-conscious properties. For instance, after the milk scandal in China, the Chinese are very sensitive about purchasing Chinese dairy products. This is a key opportunity for international dairy brands.

The Cosmetics Chinese Market

China is the second biggest market for cosmetics. The average revenues of the beauty and cosmetics market are reaching 25 billion euros annually. Both Chinese women and men are adding more and more products to their skincare routine.
