What we do in Vietnam
Vietnam sourcing services, built around how you buy.
Sourcing a single product, or running ongoing production across many factories? There is a clear path for each. Start a fixed-fee project, or put a full team on the ground under one monthly retainer.
Project Sourcing
We find, vet, and introduce you to the right Vietnam factory for your product. One fixed fee per project, original quotes with no markups, full factory contact details, and sampling support at no extra cost.
Best for a brand sourcing one or a few products from Vietnam.

All services →How it works
From your brief to a Vietnam factory introduction.
Four steps. The factory relationship ends up in your name, not ours.
Brief
Share your product, target pricing, and requirements. We turn them into a clear request for quote so Vietnam factories can price accurately from day one.
Source
Our Binh Duong team identifies and vets factories against your requirements: capability, capacity, certifications, and fit. Every shortlist is custom-built, never a generic list.
Report
You receive original factory quotes with no markups, full capability assessments, and our honest read on each supplier.
Connect
Direct introductions to your chosen factories with full contact details, and the relationship is yours. From here you order samples directly from the factory, and we stay on hand to support you through sampling at no extra cost. Prefer that we manage and evaluate samples for you? That runs as a paid add-on.
Most Vietnam projects target 4 to 6 weeks from brief to introductions, though the exact timeline depends on your product.
Why Cosmo
A Vietnam sourcing company, not a commission agent.
Vietnam's factory landscape is fragmented, and from overseas it is nearly impossible to tell a real factory from a trading company that marks up prices. Most Vietnam sourcing agents work on commission and keep factory contacts hidden. Our model is the opposite.

Client reviews
What clients say about sourcing with Cosmo.
We couldn't have navigated the local fabricators without Cosmo Sourcing's support. Thong Van Nguyen was our man on the ground, professional and great to work with over two days meeting multiple fabricators. If you're looking to engage manufacturers in Vietnam, you'd be mad not to reach out to Jim and the team first.
I worked with Jim at Cosmo Sourcing for a textile product made in Vietnam. I did not know where to start, and his team helped me get multiple options and a fantastic supplier for my first product. I will do it again, because the quality is there and it keeps a competitive advantage outside of China.
The entire experience has been life-changing for me. It has been a great journey that I know I couldn't have tackled without your help.
Meet Jim Kennemer, founder of Cosmo Sourcing.
Jim has sourced products from Asia since 2012 and built Cosmo Sourcing's Vietnam operations in 2014 from Binh Duong province, years before the US-China trade war made Vietnam a mainstream sourcing alternative. He still visits factories in person, oversees operations, and works directly with clients.
Jim and the Cosmo Sourcing team are regularly quoted on Vietnam sourcing and global supply chains.
General sourcing
What we source from Vietnam.
Cosmo Sourcing is a general sourcing company, not a niche agent limited to one product type. If it can be manufactured in Vietnam, we have likely sourced it: apparel and textiles, furniture and wood, footwear, electronics and EMS, industrial components, packaging, sporting goods, and more. Our team has sourced over 10,000 products across every major category.

Vietnam sourcing FAQ
Questions about sourcing from Vietnam.
Most sourcing agents in Vietnam charge a commission of 5 to 15% on your total order value. Cosmo Sourcing works differently: we charge a fixed fee per project with no commissions, no markups on factory quotes, and no ongoing fees. See full pricing on our services page, or contact us for a quote on your project.
Vietnam's factory landscape is fragmented, with language barriers, inconsistent quality standards, and the risk of working with trading companies instead of real factories. Cosmo Sourcing brings a vetted factory network built since 2014, local language skills, on-the-ground quality control, and the experience to avoid costly mistakes before they happen.
Cosmo Sourcing offers fixed-fee pricing with no commissions, delivers original factory quotes with no markups, provides full factory contact details so you own the relationship, and has operated a physical office in Vietnam since 2014. Most sourcing companies take a commission on your order and do not share factory contacts.
A sourcing agent in Vietnam typically works on commission and represents one or a few factories. A sourcing company like Cosmo operates independently, charges a fixed fee, and searches across a broad factory network to find the best match for your product. We act solely in your interest, not the factory's.

The relationship is yours, and you can run production independently from there. If you would rather we take the lead, directly managing sampling, inspections, and day-to-day production, that is available through our ongoing production support and Dedicated Sourcing Office.
Vietnam offers lower labor costs in many categories, favorable trade agreements like CPTPP and EVFTA, and growing capacity as buyers diversify from China. Many companies keep both. See our China plus one approach for moving production without leaving China entirely.
Yes. Cosmo Sourcing offers guided factory visits with a bilingual team member, a car and driver, and a pre-qualified itinerary. Every factory on your itinerary is matched to your product, and we can collect quotes in advance.
