Ruqiao Fan
Founder/ CEO @ Equilinq
About
I'm the Founder and CEO of Equilinq, a China-to-Europe sourcing company built for SMEs who need quality, transparency, and reliability when ordering from China. Before starting Equilinq, I spent 18 months as a sourcing analyst for a Tier-1 automotive electronics supplier within Porsche's supply chain, working remotely from Amsterdam to assess and select Chinese semiconductor factories. That work gave me a ground-level view of how supply chains actually function, and more importantly, where they break down for smaller buyers. European SMEs face the same problems repeatedly: unreliable suppliers, hidden costs and communication barriers. Equilinq solves all three. We handle factory sourcing, quality control, customisation and logistics end to end for orders from 10 to bulk order units. No surprises, no middlemen you don't know about. We operate from Amsterdam with China-side execution through our partnership with StarIT Group in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. If you are a European brand or e-commerce seller looking for a sourcing partner you can actually trust, feel free to reach out or visit equilinq.eu.
