Sourced in China. Designed and made in Britain.
CATGM Global Ltd is a UK sourcing and manufacturing company. We find and vet Chinese suppliers, get goods produced and shipped, and — when a part needs designing, prototyping or producing in small batches — we handle that in the UK ourselves.
Two capabilities. One accountable partner.
Most sourcing problems are not really sourcing problems. They are specification problems, quality problems or logistics problems that happen to surface at the factory gate. Having design and manufacturing capability in the UK changes how you can buy.
It means we can walk a factory in Dongguan and talk about the same drawing you will later hold in your hand. It means we can fix a tolerance without a six-week email loop. And it means you are dealing with one company, one invoice and one point of accountability from enquiry to delivery.
In China
Supplier identification, factory vetting, sample approval, production management, pre-shipment inspection, consolidation and freight. Either to your own specification, or developed by us from a brief.
In the United Kingdom
Product design, CAD and engineering, design for manufacture, 3D printing in a range of materials, prototyping, finishing and small-batch production — under UK quality control and UK liability.
What we can take off your desk
Engage us for a single shipment or for the whole route from an idea to a palletised delivery.
China sourcing & wholesale
We shortlist and verify factories, manage production, inspect before you pay, consolidate your orders and ship — sea, air or rail, DDP or FOB.
Product design & engineering
Concept to production-ready CAD, design for manufacture, material selection and a prototype that proves the part works before anyone commits to tooling.
3D printing & UK manufacture
FDM, SLA and SLS in plastics, resins and composites. Prototypes, jigs, fixtures and honest small-batch production runs — measured, not guessed.
How an enquiry becomes a delivery
You send the brief
A drawing, a sample, a competitor’s product or a paragraph describing the problem. It does not need to be finished.
We quote and source
You get a costed proposal with lead time and the specific manufacturers we intend to use. No obligation, no unexplained margin.
Samples and tooling
We produce and you approve a sample before production begins. If the part is new, we print it in the UK first to prove the geometry.
Inspect, ship, support
Pre-shipment inspection in our name, photo and quantity reports, then freight. We stay on the hook after the container leaves.
Four commitments
One point of contact
A named person who owns your enquiry end to end, rather than a shared inbox.
Quoted pricing
Costed line by line, so you can see what you are paying for at each stage.
Inspect before you pay
Production is checked against the approved sample before the balance invoice is issued.
Paperwork that files
Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates and declarations you can actually use.
Sectors we work in
Much of our work sits in sectors where tolerance, finish and traceability matter as much as unit cost.
Tell us what you need.
Share a specification, a sample or a rough idea. We will come back with a clear, costed answer — sourcing it, designing it or making it in the UK.
