A buy-side mandate opened in the fourth quarter of 2025, originating from Bangladesh customers previously served by MC Square in the same product category through a prior Italian supplier engagement. With that Italian supplier no longer available following its acquisition by an investment fund, the customers approached MC Square again to identify and qualify a new high-quality manufacturer — this time from China.
The qualification process covered three Chinese candidate manufacturers, each visited in person. Documentation was reviewed in detail; product samples were collected and shipped to the buyers in Bangladesh for technical evaluation. The selected manufacturer combined the highest technical standard among the candidates with the most competitive pricing.
The mandate was appointed specifically because MC Square brings a European standard to the supplier identification, selection and qualification process — a standard the Bangladesh buyers required and could not as easily apply themselves.
Trading is now active and growing rapidly.
