INTRODUCTION
"DUATO’s adventure started in 2005 when I (Isabel Alonso)
first traveled to China to look for goods to export to the rest
of the world.
From the first moment here my eyes were wide opened and I was
impressed by the extraordinary production possibilities, even
though I suffered from big communication challenges and quality
level differences. I realized that the only way to ensure that
everything could follow high quality standards was permanently
moving to China so I could control by myself every step of the
path: from the order to the delivery through quality controls
during production as well as cargo inspections.
Meanwhile, other foreign companies started requiring our help to
import in their own countries: “they wanted me to solve their
problems and make business easier for them”.
DUATO becomes a company with a team of professionals with a
technical office based in Foshan, situated near Canton, the main
Industrial area "in China to provide better solutions for
importers worldwide, connecting them with factories all over
China."
After time passed we start to be affected per the antidumping
laws from other countries against China and that situation make
us move to India, so we also started some years ago to help our
clients to move to India and make the quality control in that
new country.
