Vietnam B2B Direct takes a different approach from traditional sourcing agents: rather than positioning themselves as a permanent intermediary, they focus on brokering direct introductions between international buyers and Vietnamese factories. Their own site highlights long experience in Vietnam and product areas such as housewares, furniture, cookware and metal products.

Vietnam B2B Direct, legally International Trade Solutions Co., Ltd., is a Ho Chi Minh City sourcing and trade services firm led by CEO Bill Gadd. Its head office sits near Tan Son Nhat Airport in Tan Binh District, it runs a second sourcing and purchasing office in Nha Trang, and it keeps a North American office in Cobourg, Ontario. The company says it has worked in Vietnam for roughly two decades. Our take: this is a full-service buyer's agent rather than a pure introduction desk. The service menu covers market reports, business matching, escorted factory tours, sampling, quotations and negotiation, manufacturing agreements, purchase order oversight, quality control inspections and shipping documentation. It can also act as a managing agent, buyer's agent or sole representative for foreign companies in Vietnam. The firm says it keeps an internal database of Vietnamese companies built from earlier factory visits and assessments, and it lists past projects in office supplies, plastics, stainless flatware, furniture, cookware, notebooks and aluminum. It has also run sourcing trade missions for the International Housewares Association. It suits Western importers adding Vietnam as a China Plus One source who want English-speaking local management and a North American point of contact.
Vietnam B2B Direct does not publish a fee schedule. Engagements are quoted per project, and cost typically depends on whether you need research and factory matching only, an escorted factory tour, or ongoing representation with production oversight and QC inspections.
Vietnam B2B Direct operates as International Trade Solutions Co., Ltd. and lists a head office at 2A/20 Bach Dang Street, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City, plus a North American office in Cobourg, Ontario. Its website says it has worked in Vietnam for close to two decades. As with any agent, verify registration, ask for references and sign a written agreement before paying.
The company does not publish a fee schedule. Pricing is quoted per project and usually depends on scope: market reports, factory matching, escorted factory tours, ongoing buyer's agent representation, production oversight or standalone quality inspections. Ask for a written quote that separates sourcing fees from inspection, travel and logistics costs so you can compare it with other agents.
Its website cites manufacturing projects for office supplies, plastics and consumer goods exported to the USA, stainless steel flatware, furniture for Australia, cookware for Germany, notebooks and aluminum. It has also organized sourcing trade missions for the International Housewares Association, which points to strength in housewares and general consumer products rather than highly technical components.
A trading company buys from factories and resells at a markup, often without revealing the source. Vietnam B2B Direct positions itself as a buyer's agent or managing agent that introduces you to Vietnamese factories and oversees agreements, production and inspections on your behalf. Confirm in writing who holds the supplier contract and whether any factory commissions apply.
