A Hong Kong company built for one job: reducing uncertainty in Asia
AMIGOFRIEND is the field arm of decision-makers who commit capital in Asia. Before a committee signs, before a contract binds you, someone has to stand in the aisle, walk the factory floor and verify what is real. That is our job.
AMIGOFRIEND is operated by AMIGOFRIEND CO., LTD, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (Business Registration No. 67338901). Contracts and NDAs are signed under Hong Kong law.
We work between Europe, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Southeast Asia, backed by permanent local coordination in Shenzhen. Trade fairs walked and continuous field sourcing since 2019: factories visited, suppliers met in person.
What decision-makers actually buy from us
Not introductions, not a database, not a report compiled from other reports. What we sell is the reduction of uncertainty: verified facts, gathered in person, shaped for the people who decide.
The Europe–Asia cultural bridge
We speak the codes of both worlds: those of your investment committee, and those of the factory floors of Shenzhen. Meetings happen in Chinese; deliverables speak the language of capital.
Facts verified at the source
Trade fairs walked since 2019, factories visited, suppliers met face to face. What goes into a deliverable has been seen, photographed and questioned on site.
Built for committees
Investor-grade deliverables: documented, audit-ready, made to withstand the scrutiny of a committee, a board or an audit.
You are the expert of your product. We are the expert of the ground.
Ten years of ground, documented
What a decade of fairs, factories and supplier meetings leaves behind: a documented network, kept current by continuous fieldwork.

A compact structure, by design
The people who receive your Mission Brief are the ones who walk the fairs and visit the factories. No layers in between: a deliberately small core, backed by a permanent base in Shenzhen.
Mission direction & field work
One person carries your mission from brief to report: scoping, fair and factory work, negotiation in Chinese over WeChat, and the final deliverable.
Field collaborator
Field operations on sourcing missions: trade fairs, supplier visits and follow-up.
Local coordination · Shenzhen
A permanent local base in Shenzhen: appointments, logistics and supplier follow-up, before, during and between missions.

Who mandates us
Client confidentiality is the default: no names, no logos. The profiles below describe who commits capital on the strength of our fieldwork.
Investment funds and family offices
Field due diligence, technology scouting and market intelligence, built for investment committees.
Industrial groups
Supplier verification and risk assessment at the source, with documented, audit-ready evidence.
European SMEs and scale-ups
Sourcing, native negotiation and deal execution, from shortlist to signed contract.
How we protect both sides of the table
Client confidentiality by default
No names, no logos, no recognisable case details. Our references stay silent by design.
No hidden commissions
Verification is paid by you alone; execution runs through a separate, declared agreement.
Hong Kong incorporated
AMIGOFRIEND CO., LTD, Business Registration No. 67338901.
NDAs available on request
Signed under Hong Kong law, as are our contracts.
CE / RoHS validation
Certificates checked against the documents a supplier can actually produce, not the marks pinned on a booth wall.
Supplier identity protection
The counterpart of client confidentiality: the suppliers we document are protected with the same care.
What you buy is not a report. It is a decision made with less uncertainty.
Tell us the decision in front of you. The Mission Brief is where a AMIGOFRIEND engagement starts.
