ProQ Sourcing is a buyer-side sourcing and inspection agent in Sialkot, Pakistan, registered with the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industries and operating since 2021. The firm owns no factory and states plainly that it works for the buyer: it shortlists and verifies factories, negotiates, follows production and inspects against AQL or the buyer's own specification before shipment. Its focus is the Sialkot cluster, meaning apparel and sportswear, workwear, leather goods, gloves, and balls and sports equipment.

ProQ Sourcing is a small, specialised agent in Sialkot, the Pakistani cluster that supplies footballs, boxing and sports gloves, martial arts gear, motorbike leathers and team kit to much of the world. The firm was established in 2021 and is registered with the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industries. Its office is on the Sialkot-Daska Road, a short drive from the industrial areas, and it publishes a direct phone and WhatsApp number rather than hiding behind a form. The positioning is unusually clear for this market: no factory ownership, no trading margin, and reports that are not edited to please the supplier. Sourcing and inspection sit in one team, which removes the usual gap where an agent wins the order and a separate inspection company discovers the problems. Inspections run to AQL under ISO 2859-1 or to the buyer's own specification, with defect counts split into critical, major and minor, measurement tables against the size chart, function tests and photo evidence. Our take: this is the right shape of agent for apparel, gloves and sports equipment from Pakistan, and a sensible first stop for buyers who have been burned by sample-versus-bulk gaps. It is a small operation, so capacity is finite and complex multi-category programmes may need to be phased. There is also no published fee schedule: everything is quoted per project, which is normal in Sialkot but means the buyer should insist on a written scope covering number of factory visits and inspection man-days.
ProQ quotes per project and agrees fees in writing before starting. Sourcing, factory verification and inspection are quoted separately, and inspection pricing depends on order size, number of man-days and travel. Ask for the number of factory visits and inspection days included, and confirm who pays for a re-inspection after a failed lot; ProQ's own guidance is to write that term into the purchase order so the factory carries it.
An agent. ProQ states that it owns no factory and does not make the goods it inspects. It works for the buyer: verifying factories, negotiating, following production and inspecting before shipment, with findings reported to the buyer rather than the supplier.
Apparel, sportswear, workwear and caps; leather jackets, motorbike suits, leather footwear, bags and small leather goods; sports, safety and work gloves; and balls and sports equipment including footballs, cricket bats, hockey sticks and rackets. Its network is concentrated in the Sialkot cluster.
AQL sampling under ISO 2859-1, or the buyer's own written specification. Reports classify defects as critical, major or minor with counts, include measurement tables against the size chart, function test results, packing and labelling checks, and photographs of each defect type.
Fees depend on the service and project size and are agreed in writing before work starts. There is no published rate card, so request a quote that states the number of factory visits, inspection man-days and travel included.
Often yes, though minimum quantities depend on the product and factory. ProQ says it will tell buyers honestly whether a quantity is workable rather than accepting an order the factory cannot run economically.
