Technical Procurement
Since 2014, Saimen has provided reliable, high-value technical procurement services in China, specializing in complex projects requiring engineering equivalences, material substitutions, and international certification compliance. Backed by an experienced team and our ISO 9001-certified facility, we offer a complete solution that ensures quality, protects intellectual property, and supports customization and localization for North American and European markets.
Technical Procurement Leader since 2014
Saimen offers comprehensive technical procurement services tailored for engineering-intensive projects where complexity, customization, and compliance are critical. Since 2014, we have successfully managed sourcing and procurement mandates across China, serving international clients in industries such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, automotive, entertainment systems, and electromechanical equipment.
Our strength lies in navigating complex procurement scenarios where standard components may not apply or where specifications must be adapted. These include tasks such as material and finish selection based on performance requirements, conversions between imperial and metric systems, and sourcing equivalent parts when original components are discontinued or unavailable. Our engineering team actively supports these decisions, ensuring that all technical equivalencies meet the performance, durability, and safety expectations of the original design.​​
We also have extensive experience certifying products for compliance with North American (CSA, UL) and European (CE, RoHS) standards. Over the years, we have successfully guided the certification of thousands of parts and sub-assemblies, managing the associated testing, documentation, and supplier coordination to streamline time-to-market.
Another key differentiator is our strong emphasis on intellectual property protection. Saimen safeguards client designs and sensitive information through enforceable legal agreements with suppliers and internal staff. Additionally, we operate our own ISO 9001-certified factory, which allows us to internalize critical steps in the production process. This includes final assembly, firmware upload, software configuration, and functional testing — all done in-house to maintain strict control over proprietary elements. Saimen is also ISO-27001 certified for information management and protection.
This vertically integrated structure also enables product localization and customization. Whether adapting a global product to local payment platforms, adjusting enclosures for compliance, or integrating region-specific components, our team ensures the final product is fully aligned with local market and regulatory expectations.
Some recent examples of our technical procurement work include:
-
Engineering and sourcing components for custom wind electricity generation systems.
-
Procurement and qualification of large-scale metal transformation equipment for industrial clients.
-
Localization and assembly of electric vehicle components, adapted for European regulations.
-
Sourcing and assembling haptic electromechanical actuators used in cinema seating and immersive gaming platforms.
-
Managing BOMs, procurement, and final testing of electromechanical sub-assemblies with tight tolerance requirements.
-
Precision sourcing of machined metal parts and enclosures with specialized surface finishes.
At Saimen, our procurement process is not just about sourcing — it’s about delivering engineering-grade solutions that are certified, secure, and market-ready. We act as a trusted extension of your engineering and supply chain team, delivering peace of mind and enabling your organization to focus on innovation and growth.
