    What clients say

    MARKET ENTRY & EXPANSION
    “We decided to enter Vietnam with no one on the ground and no time to learn the market the slow way. Lukas and his team took us from that starting point to a live operation in six months. What mattered most was that one team handled the whole chain: market research, sales channel assessment, the legal entity, the 3PL tender through to go-live, and recruitment. I wasn't coordinating four separate advisors and stitching their work together. They built a team of eight across the region, five in Vietnam, then helped us extend into Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines as we grew. If you're weighing the region but daunted by everything between the decision and the first sale, I'd recommend them.”

    SUPPLY CHAIN & SOURCING
    “I worked with Marcus in 2024 when he led the project to optimise IG Design Group's operations across Asia. The brief was broad; sourcing new raw material suppliers, rationalising our SKU range, and reviewing how we select and qualify suppliers, and he handled all of it with genuine rigour and a strong feel for the Southeast Asia market. Marcus and the team were practical, well-organised, and brought valuable insight into the project, turning analysis into recommendations we could quickly act on.”

    WAREHOUSING & LOGISTICS
