Who we are

VM Metal Limited was founded in 2002 as a co-operation between competent European sourcing and logistics executives and their Chinese partners. Our employees service a wide range of customers within a wide range of industries.

It is the aim of VM Metal Limited to deliver Integrated Metal Solutions, and in order to support this strategy a range of external suppliers is a natural part of our scope of service. Normally each link in the supply chain will generate cost and margins resulting in a lack of competitive edge, but since VM Metal Limited has established a direct link between professional companies (typically located in Europe) and Chinese suppliers, luckily this is not the case.

In order to create critical mass and break-even of VM Metal Limited sourcing activities, we are offering our customers the same attractive set-up and conditions as when we are supplying current large European customers. In practice, we are simply giving you the opportunity to utilize our set-up without additional margin for intermediaries.

VM Metal Limited is located in Jiangmen Guangdong Province, South China. Our carefully selected suppliers are all located in Guangdong and they have easy access to the main shipping hubs in Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

In Guangdong the various industries are located within certain geographical areas, and Jiangmen City is one of the two main Chinese areas for the motorcycle manufacturing industry. Thousands of subcontractors in this region are grown-up as first-, second- and third tier suppliers to the motorcycle and automotive industries with the professionalism that this requires.

On the other hand, understanding the nature of the Chinese market requires a thorough domestic and local knowledge and even within an area of 100 - 200 km there are significant differences in the cost of labour. Compared to the neighbouring industrial areas, Jiangmen is on an attractive index level of 60-70.
When sourcing through VM Metal Limited, you can take full advantage of out 50 years of manufacturing knowledge, and in order to sustain commercial attractiveness we eliminate all non-value adding links and this means that your orders are handled directly by our China sourcing experts.

We believe in a competitive and transparent supply chain, and only include a 10% margin that covers our full service including access to more than 15 years of domestic China market knowledge. The ongoing focus on achieving the most competitive terms and conditions together with a long-term supplier relationship are essential to successful sourcing in China. Without the thorough relations, even a domestic Chinese customer who approaches a new supplier may easily be charged an extraordinary 20-30% margin.

VM Metal Limited is based upon “Guanxi", more precisely upon 15 years of business relations between experienced senior executives in Denmark and our domestic Chinese management. These relations were initiated many years ago and long time before the "Guanxi" was finally transformed to our joined forces in VM Metal Limited.

Our motto is “VM Metal Limited is easy to deal with” - we look very much forward to servicing you.
