Our Story
From Shanghai to Vietnam to the World

Jim Kennemer founded Cosmo Sourcing in Shanghai in 2012 while completing his MBA, initially helping friends and contacts find outdoor sports manufacturers in China. As demand grew, the company expanded beyond a single industry and rebranded from Hartford Outdoor Sports Supply to Cosmo Sourcing in 2013.

In 2014, Jim moved operations to Ho Chi Minh City, making Cosmo one of the first dedicated sourcing companies in Vietnam. Today the team sources products across Vietnam, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, China, and other manufacturing hubs for clients in over 40 countries.

Why Cosmo Sourcing

What Makes Us Different

Most sourcing companies take commissions, hide factory details, and act as middlemen. We do the opposite.

💰
Flat-Rate, No Commissions
We charge a flat fee per project. No commissions on your orders, no markups on factory pricing. You see the original quotes exactly as the factory issued them.
🏭
You Own the Factory Relationship
We give you full factory contact details and introduce you directly. You can work with your suppliers independently at any time. No gatekeeping, no lock-in.
🌏
On the Ground Since 2014
Our team has been based in Vietnam since 2014, years before most sourcing companies entered the market. We have teams across Vietnam, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, and China.
📊
Transparency at Every Step
You receive a full sourcing report with supplier profiles, quotes, certifications, and our assessment. No black boxes. You make the decisions with complete information.
