Who we are

BEHIND

THE
PARTS.

Three cities. Three clusters. One team that knows where every component comes from — and who makes it.

Where we are

Three cities.
One reason.

We didn't pick our cities for tax breaks or cheap rent. We picked them for what they make.

2014

Shenzhen — where it started

Shenzhen is the heart of China's electronics supply chain. Displays, computers, power — the factories are here. We set up shop, walked the production lines, and learned the difference between a good component and a great one.

2020

Wuhan — the optics hub

Why Wuhan? Tax incentives — savings we pass on to you. But more than that: optoelectronics, storage — the pieces Shenzhen alone couldn't give us. Those come from Wuhan's Optics Valley. We set up our headquarters there specifically to integrate into that ecosystem.

Now

Guangzhou — the nerve center

Cable harnesses, full assembly, final inspection. Guangzhou connects our supply chain to the ports. Every shipment passes through here before it reaches your warehouse.

“We don't chase territory. We follow demand. Right now that means Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu. Each new cluster lets us serve our clients better.”

How we work

We don't guess.
We qualify.

01

Map the cluster

We don't source from a database. We know which city, which district, which street makes what we're looking for.

02

Qualify the factory

We visit. We audit. We test samples. If a factory doesn't meet the bar, we move on. No exceptions.

03

Match the component

Not the best price, but the right spec. We match your requirements against what we've verified, not what's cheapest.

04

Inspect the shipment

Before it leaves China, we check it against your specifications. If it fails, it doesn't go out. Simple.

What I like about Imaginer? They tell me when something won't work — before I place the order. No one else does that.
