August 15, 2005 -- Uptrend International is a Hong Kong registered company specifically set up to assist buyers of furniture and accessories with their imports from China.

Roy Bruce, a manufacturer with over twenty years experience in the Philippines, said that it is very difficult for someone without experience to import from China, due to vast cultural and language difficulties. "In fact, over the past five years we have seen so many would-be importers simply give up, despite the high profits on the imported goods, they found they could not deal with all the issues," adds Bruce.

Uptrend International handles the initial design work, manufacturing of samples and small production runs through their English speaking office and factory in Cebu, Philippines. They have a very experienced design team that utilizes computer aided drawing (CAD) plus hand drawn color and shaded designs. Once the designs are fully tested and approved by the customer, the samples are built and shown in High Point and other venues and the customer able to place orders for larger production runs. The CAD drawings and samples are then transferred to the China office for production where Uptrend is able to quickly setup and run huge quantities in with a reduction in price of between 20 to 40 percent compared to their Philippine factory.

Bruce adds, "We are one of very few companies in Asia with extensive furniture manufacturing experience that is also in the position to offer a full English speaking design and sourcing service that ships from China. Our service vastly reduces risk for the US importer. While most of our customers never visit China, for those that want to, we meet them at our office in Hong Kong and escort them 'stress free' to any location in China."
