Access to 500+ verified manufacturing partners — we match every requirement to suitable factories from our existing network.
Direct supplier relationships and commercial negotiation applied to secure competitive terms on your behalf.

Connecting businesses, institutions and private clients to the manufacturers, products and supply chains they need — with one partner managing the process from requirement to delivery.
Valencore was built on a simple observation: businesses, institutions and private clients moving goods into Africa were solving the same problems independently — chasing reliable factories, negotiating without leverage, and untangling logistics with no single point of accountability.
Valencore combines a decade of that combined, hands-on experience into one outsourced procurement function — built for clients who would otherwise have to build it themselves.
That combined experience belongs to Valencore's founders — one built around getting goods into Africa reliably, the other around the logistics and supply-chain discipline of global trade.
Blade has spent six years in the export and import trade, working across a wide range of sectors and building direct relationships with manufacturers, freight partners and clients across the African continent. His experience is centred specifically on bringing goods into Africa reliably — navigating sourcing, documentation and the on-the-ground realities that determine whether an international shipment actually arrives on time and intact.
Divan spent four years working in operations at leading commodity trading companies, gaining first-hand exposure to the logistics and supply chains behind global trade. That experience forms Valencore’s operational backbone — bringing a practical understanding of freight, timing, coordination and execution, developed in environments where margins are tight, complexity is high and there is little room for error.
One request, one point of contact. We connect you into an existing network of 500+ verified factories across 16+ categories — managing sourcing, negotiation, quality, logistics and delivery, so your team isn't chasing suppliers, freight agents and customs brokers on their own.
Valencore operates across two continents — sourcing manufactured goods from China, and coordinating delivery into African markets, backed by hands-on experience in both Chinese manufacturing relationships and African logistics. That dual-market fluency is the core of what we offer: access on one side, and delivery on the other.
500+ verified factories and manufacturing partners, spanning 16+ sourcing categories — an established, standing resource rather than something assembled per engagement. When a requirement comes in, we're matching it against a network that already exists, not starting a search from zero.

If it can be manufactured, we can investigate sourcing it — tell us what you need.
Valencore manages each stage of procurement directly — not handed off to third parties, but coordinated through one accountable partner.
We identify the right approach to a requirement before a single supplier is contacted — clarifying specification, quantity, timeline and destination so sourcing starts on solid ground.
We match requirements against our network of 500+ verified factories and manufacturing partners across 16+ sourcing categories, shortlisting manufacturers suited to the requirement.
We manage the transaction itself — quotations, terms, and purchase coordination — so the client deals with one partner rather than negotiating with multiple factories directly.
Factories in our network are assessed before they're matched to a requirement, reducing the risk of dealing with unverified or unreliable manufacturers.
Dedicated oversight through the production run — inspecting materials, workmanship and finished units against agreed specifications, with issues flagged and resolved with the factory before anything is packed for shipping.
We coordinate shipping and customs from the Chinese factory through to final delivery in African markets, drawing on direct logistics and freight experience.

It depends on the product and factory — some categories have low minimums, others require volume to be cost-effective. We'll flag this as soon as we understand your requirement, before any commitment is made.
Timelines vary by product, factory capacity and destination, and depend on production and shipping method (sea or air). We'll give you a realistic estimate once we understand your specification and quantity.
Factories in our network are assessed before being matched to a requirement, and we manage product and quality checks through production — so issues are caught before goods ship, not after they arrive.
Terms are agreed on a per-order basis and depend on the supplier, order size and relationship. We'll walk you through the terms that apply before you commit to anything.
In most cases, yes. Sample availability, cost and lead time vary by factory and product — we'll confirm this with you as part of the sourcing process.

We coordinate delivery into African markets, drawing on direct logistics and freight experience. Tell us your destination and we'll confirm feasibility and lead times.
No. If you're not sure exactly what you need, tell us the problem you're trying to solve and we'll help you narrow it down to a workable specification.
