Alta Meridian helps companies navigate manufacturing, sourcing, and supplier relationships in China.

Founded by Jesse Gilkey and Angel Zhang, Alta Meridian was built on a simple belief: successful business in China starts with trusted relationships, clear communication, and firsthand knowledge of the people behind the products.

Unlike many sourcing firms that rely on databases and online directories, we spend time inside factories, meeting owners, understanding production capabilities, and building relationships throughout China's manufacturing network.

From supplier discovery and factory verification to manufacturing support and market-entry assistance, we help businesses reduce risk and make more informed decisions when working with Chinese manufacturers.

Whether you're searching for a supplier, evaluating a factory, exploring a new product opportunity, or looking to expand into international markets, Alta Meridian serves as your trusted partner on the ground in China.
