The Sofeast group helps you take control of your manufacturing in Asia with transparency.
We combine a blend of quality assurance, product engineering, and supply chain management services to reduce your risk, improve product reliability, and keep your projects on track, from early development through to mass production.
Since Sofeast was founded in 2006, the group has evolved from a quality assurance specialist into the engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, testing, and quality organization it is today.
See how Sofeast has evolved since 2006
With teams on the ground in China, India, and across Asia, plus in-house capabilities including contract manufacturing (in India & China), a reliability testing lab (in China), and logistics support (in China), we give you the visibility and technical backing needed to make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
We provide on-the-ground support in China, India, and Southeast Asia to improve supplier relationships, production, and quality.
Our group includes a reliability lab, contract manufacturer, mold tooling workshop, and plastic/silicone/metal part facility, giving you practical, fast, and coordinated execution.
Transparency and ethics are central to our work. We protect your IP and supply chain information, tailor strategies to your objectives, and share all gathered data.
We work exclusively for you and never retain information to limit your independence to work with other companies.
Our company’s mission is to allow designers and inventors to develop and manufacture innovative products on Time, on Cost, and on Quality. In each of our departments, ensure client satisfaction means the teams need to be focused on different goals, as shown below.
As our client, we take every step to protect your confidential IP and supply chain information as well as being committed to listening to your objectives in order to offer the correct strategy for your needs.
We never hold any of your information for ourselves to ‘lock you in.’ We work exclusively for you, and we give you all the information we gather in the course of providing your service.
