Our team can help you bring a new product to market, drive down manufacturing costs or improve the quality of finished goods.
Typically, a sourcing project begins with a detailed brief, which will be used to vet and select potential manufacturers. Our team in Shanghai bringson-the-ground support and expertise to this selection process, ranging from exploratory discussions and factory inspections to pre-shipment quality control. Suppliers are rarely chosen on price alone – the cheapest is not always the best fit.
Product sample development, testing and improvement -
require close collaboration between Tiger Global's customer, our U.K team, Shanghai office and the manufacturer. We work hard to ensure that communication is clear and specific throughout this process, which takes us through to final production approval, manufacturing and export.

Tiger Global has been working with Norwegian designer Lasse Klein to bring his fantastic 'Alien Abduction Lamp' from the drawing board to the marketplace.
A unique blend of kitsch, class, form and function, the Alien Abduction Lamp has presented us with a fun, unique nine-month development challenge. We neededto produce the lamp at a commercially viable price, without compromising on design, materials, functionality or the overall aesthetic.
Having taken a brief and ensured we really understood the desired outcome, Tiger Global next assessed a large number of Chinese lighting manufacturers, using our -
on-the-ground team in Shanghai to support the short-listing process and help us build a strong, collaborative relationship with the chosen supplier.
We have played a key role in technical design development, working with both the designer in Norway and manufacturer in China to ensure the project staystrue to the brief and to Klein's overall concept, while keeping one eye on the commercial realities and compliance requirements of selling this designer electrical product worldwide.

Shepherd Neame is Britain's oldest brewer, and has been producing the fantastic 'Spitfire' cask-conditioned beer since 1990. 'Spitfire', the beer, was first brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain – a battle fought over the hop gardens of Kent through the summer of 1940, and won by the now-legendary Spitfire fighter aircraft.
In 2007 Shepherd Neame was looking for a novel product to promote Spitfire beer, and approached our team. After much creative brainstorming (and sampling of the product) we agreed on a microchip bottle opener, designed to play the sound of a Spitfire flying overhead when activated by the metal of a bottle top.
-
Tiger Global scoured the internet for a suitable recording of the Rolls Royce-powered Spitfire roaring overhead. Nothing suitable presented itself, so our team paid a visit to the British War Museum's sound archive. After a long search we found what we were looking for, and chose two 'short listers' with help from the Shepherd Neame team.
But, predictably, things weren't so simple. The chosen sample was 11 seconds long, but the manufacturer could only fit six seconds of audio on a standard audio ROM chip. Fortunately our team in Shanghai was able to work with the manufacturer to find an alternative, higher-capacity ROM chip without increasing costs. A test unit was soon programmed with the full, open-throttled roar of
-
a Rolls Royce Merlin Spitfire fly-by.
The sample approved by a very happy customer, we moved to production and the Spitfire was soon being imbibed and heard in living rooms across England.
At time of writing this remains one of Shepherd Neame'smost popular merchandise items.

Global Brands is a beverage alcohol distributor and manufacturer, with a portfolio including Myers Rum, Goldschlager, Danzka and VK vodka.
Tiger Global was engaged by Global Brands to deliver two very different POS (point of sale) sourcing projects: a branded plastic shot glass and a counter-top fridge.Shot glass without the glass: Global Brands asked us to produce a plastic version of a high-use branded vodka liqueur shot glass.
With support from our team in Shanghai, Tiger Global and Global Brands reviewed and tested a range of plastic material options before settling on clear polystyrene. -
Members of our Shanghai team spent time on site at the factory, ensuring that production orders matched the sample version. A spirits measure line was required, but it was difficult to set this in the correct place without spoiling aesthetics or the logo. Refining the mould and raising the bottom of the glass achieved this.
After a successful first run we continued to supply 140,000 of these 'glasses' each quarter.
Counter-top fridge with all the extras: For this project, Global Brands came to us with a brief to supply counter-top fridges for their canned energy drink. The very specific brief included a broad range of -
requirements; this was, after all, a high-investment promotional item and it needed to be delivered on spec and on budget.
We engaged one of China's leading OEM whiteware manufacturers and tasked them with designing and producing the fridge that would meet Global Brands'needs, along with those of its retail customers, while exceeding European Union requirements for coolant gas, electronics and safety.
During production we ensured our Shanghai team was on hand to physically inspect source gas reservoirs and 'sign off' the finished product. -
Our project team negotiated the bundling of a free spare parts kit with every fridge, extending its shelf life as a functional, high-impact brand building tool.
