Coordination as a craft
Operator, not middleman
We do not resell a catalogue found online. We identify the factory, visit it, negotiate, control quality before loading and deliver. Every step is held by us, not handed to a broker.
Both ends of the chain
Having a good product made is worthless if it does not sell. Deep-Mate sources and delivers, Vortexia builds the brand and the demand around it. Both run with the same point of contact.
The flow runs both ways
European companies have products made in China. Chinese brands want to enter Europe. Our logistics and our distribution contracts serve both, with the same Swiss standards on contracts and quality.
Why these two businesses together?
China sourcing and brand development look like two different worlds from a distance. Up close it is the same client: someone with a product to manufacture who will then have to sell it. Deep-Mate covers the first half, Vortexia the second.
One single contract
One contract, one invoice, one contact from the first quote to goods reception. You coordinate no factory, no forwarder, no customs office.
Audit before payment
On-site factory visit: production capacity, compliance, sample control. You know who you are working with before committing a single franc.
Swiss by default
Head office in Clarens, Swiss contracts, Swiss taxation, locally hosted AI. Asia for production, Switzerland for accountability.
David Perrino
"Value is neither the product nor the service. It is coordination. Finding the right supplier in China, negotiating the right Incoterm, clearing customs properly, delivering on time, each of these is mundane. Chaining them without breaking anything is what people pay for."
Fifteen years between China and French-speaking Switzerland, buying, negotiating, importing, delivering. David founded Deep-Mate after seeing too many companies burned by middlemen who never set foot in a factory. Today he runs sourcing from Clarens and still spends several weeks a year in Asia.
