“In forming ClearStream Imports, Inc. we were fortunate to start with both a high customer driven demand and an identified group of China-based manufactures. During our initial growth, however, we quickly realized that we lacked a true presence in Asia to manage our partnerships, production, and quality. Additionally, we sought to minimize our overhead expenses by out-sourcing our logistics management.

Six months ago we were introduced to 5 Horizons Group. During this period, 5 Horizons helped us to double our import containers, increase customer satisfaction, improve relationships with our suppliers, and increase our product line without the addition of a single employee. 5 Horizons has a keen understanding of the U.S.-Asia manufacturing model, and provided our company with great insight and solutions for developing a long-term Asia strategy.”

“I first worked with 5 Horizons Group as an applicant to a Director of Asia Operations position for a U.S. based company. 5 Horizons Group provided insight into the company profile, job description and long-term goals of my future employer. 5 Horizons’ expertise in the consumer products industry, and specifically the U.S.-Asia structure, increased my confidence in the opportunity. They coordinated multiple phone-interviews with key management and arranged all of the transportation and agenda details for my visit and interview with the U.S. company. The entire process, from the initial phone-call to my accepting the offer, was very professional and well-organized.

Upon accepting the position as Director of Asia Operations, I had the opportunity to again work with 5 Horizons as we began the process of linking the processes and work-flow between the newly developed Shenzhen office and the U.S. development team. 5 Horizons’ worked closely with both the Asia staff and the U.S. office to develop new communication systems for development, production, and quality-control. In the short-time since our Asia office opened, both the U.S. and Asia offices have a very clear understanding of the tools and processes needed to effectively communicate.”
