2008 February

We are very excited to announce that Anglo China Sourcing Ltd (ACS) has been appointed the exclusive Sales Agent and Distributor for Shanghai Xiaobang Household Products Ltd (Xiaobang) in Europe and Africa.

Xiaobang are market leaders in China in the production of various qualities of polyester filament for brush manufacturers, as well as accomplished paintbrush manufacturers.

Xiaobang was founded in 2001 by David Lu, who is probably the foremost expert in filament extrusion in China. They have a large factory conveniently located close to Shanghai and currently have a production capacity for filament of 200,000kgs per month and for brush of 1,400,000pcs per month. Xiaobang are committed to innovation and product development, which is carried out in their purpose built laboratory in Shanghai.

The co-operation between ACS and Xiaobang brings together many years of expertise in supplying the brush manufacturing industry with brush making filaments. Tim Kleingeld and Marita Keremezo have a combined experience of over 35 years in sourcing natural hog hair for brush manufacturers worldwide, and we believe that this, allied to the expertise of David and Tracy Lu in the production of synthetic filament, makes an unbeatable team.

We are able to offer both pure synthetic filament and blends of synthetic filament and hog hair.

We will be participating at the Interbrush Trade Fair in Freiburg and look forward to seeing you at our stand Hall 4, Stand No 4.4.6 on 16th to 18th of April 2008.

2008 January

I am very excited to announce that Anglo China Sourcing Ltd have extended their exclusive sales and agency agreement with Shangcheng Bristle and Brush Factory of Henan Province for 2008 for the sale of their paintbrush production.

Shangcheng Bristle and Brush Factory was established in 1950 and are probably the largest bristle dressing factory, and amongst the most important manufacturers of paint brushes, in China.

In 2007 Shangcheng experienced economic reform and has now entered into a very exciting period in its history under the ownership of Mr. Yang Kongming, who has been General Manager for many years prior to this reform.

I have worked together with Yang Kongming for almost 20 years and I am sure that he is the right person, with unparalled knowledge and understanding of the business, to take the business on to an even higher level.
