China Plus One
I started working with Primo Sourcing around january 2026, when I was actively trying to reduce my exposure to China after a few supply issues earlier that year. The idea was not to fully leave China, but to apply a proper China Plus One strategy and test alternatives, mainly in Vietnam.We began with a sourcing phasefocused on suppliers in the north of Vietnam, especially around Hanoi and Bac Ninh. I actually ended up visiting one of the shortlisted factories in Hung Yen in march 2026. What I appreciated is that Primo didn't just send a random list of suppliers. They filtered aggressively and flagged the weak options early, which saved a lot of time.
