Machines in China Co., Ltd. was established in Shanghai in 2015 by a team of veterans from global trade logistics, industrial engineering, and cross-border procurement. Our founders recognized a persistent gap in the international machinery market: Chinese manufacturers produced world-class industrial equipment at competitive valuations, yet international buyers faced significant barriers in verification, communication, compliance, and delivery coordination. Too often, businesses seeking to buy machines from China encountered unreliable intermediaries, opaque pricing, inconsistent quality, and logistical complications that eroded the very cost advantages they sought. We built Machines in China to eliminate these friction points to serve as the trusted intermediary that both manufacturers and global buyers could rely on. From our headquarters in Shanghai, China's financial and logistics hub, we began with a focused mission: to democratize access to high-performance Chinese industrial machinery by providing transparent sourcing, rigorous quality validation, and seamless export execution for manufacturing enterprises worldwide. What started as a small team of six specialists has grown into a 7,000+ employee organization serving clients across 126 countries. Our journey reflects the evolution of China's manufacturing sector itself from a source of low-cost commodities to a global leader in advanced industrial equipment, automation, and precision machinery. We have been privileged to witness and facilitate this transformation, one shipment at a time.
