The value of a long-lasting relationship with suppliers: 25 years of experience in the field
In the natural raw materials import sector, delivery speed and product quality depend on more than just documents or ships arriving in port. Often, the real difference lies in the human relationship.
At Athesis, we’ve been working with select suppliers for over 25 years, building relationships that go beyond simple commercial exchanges. It’s thanks to these strong connections that we can guarantee punctuality, transparency, and products that comply with European standards.
Trust isn't built in a day
A reliable supplier is the result of years of collaboration, well-managed orders, and jointly resolved issues. Over time, this builds mutual trust: we know we can count on them, and they know we honor our commitments and payments.
This stability allows us to secure priority orders, more competitive prices, and a rapid response when urgent product needs arise.
Constant communication = fewer unexpected issues
We maintain daily email contact with our suppliers in China. This isn’t just about “checking in,” but about preventing problems before they become obstacles: price variations, raw material availability, production times.
Thanks to this continuous communication, we can organize flexible packaging — from single kilograms to the exact quantity requested by the customer — and plan 2-3 imports per month, thus maintaining consistency in supply.
We work with multiple suppliers for the same product and select the best partner each time based on an internal database that cross-references data on quality, delivery times, and price.
This approach allows us to optimize every shipment and minimize the risks of delays.
The relationship as a competitive advantage
In a global market where anyone can find a contact online, the difference isn’t made by “having a supplier in China,” but by having the right supplier and knowing how to work with them.

Did you know that...?
In an international shipment, even a small error in the documentation can hold up the goods in customs for days or weeks. Having suppliers who are familiar with our procedures drastically reduces this risk.
The relationship with our suppliers is one of the pillars of our work. It is not an abstract concept: it is what allows us to keep our promises to our customers and to offer a service that goes beyond the simple sale of raw materials.
