Additional Value Added Services and Reliability

Wholesale/Importer and Retail knowledge
ANCO has existed since 1963 and has been the sole sourcing agent for our sister companies under the Andersons.  This has given us extensive, and lengthy experience with our customers' retail markets as well. Our products are sold to thousands of retail accounts in North America.  We understand the demands of shipping to the US retail market, and our customers currently maintain relationships with US retailers including:  Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar General, Kohl’s, Bed, Beth & Beyond, etc.  We are well versed with the standards and requirements for these and other Big Box retailers.

Product Development
Due to our expanded network of manufactures throughout Asia, we can assist your company by finding products from a wide range of categories. Whether you are looking for IT products from Taiwan or low cost general merchandise from China, we can make it happen.

Price Negotiation
ANCO communicates with numerous vendors to benchmark the market price of a new item.  Once this benchmark is set, we negotiated with the best vendor found to further reduce price. ANCO does have the advantage of a strong, local team that can communicate and negotiate price in the local language. Factories feel comfortable working with our local team and offer better pricing because of our close relationship.

Order Placement
ANCO acts as the agent and buying office for our customers.  Orders are placed directly by our customers to ANCO.  In turn, ANCO deals with placing orders to the factory.  This provides value by giving our customers their own Asia office.  Factories typically prefer dealing with offices in the same time zone, offices that speak the same language, and offices that pay them from Asia. ANCO follows-up on all orders to ensure orders are filled properly, meet quality standards, and arrive on time.

Financing Options
ANCO is strong in finance, so we can help in providing terms to customers if needed.
