The procurement bridge between Europe and the Greater Bay Area

CyMea sources and verifies building technology directly in China — solar, battery storage, heat pumps, smart-building and pool & spa systems — for builders, installers, developers and distributors across the DACH region, the wider EU and North Cyprus.

3 Locations in China & Hong Kong
8 Product domains
2 Delivery corridors: EU & Eastern Med

Who we work for: construction companies, installers, developers, wholesalers and project owners — in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, across the EU, and in North Cyprus (TRNC), where we operate a dedicated delivery corridor via Türkiye.

What we source

Building technology, at the source

We focus on the technologies transforming residential and commercial building — the categories where China manufactures for the world and where verification matters most.

Energy

Solar PV & mounting systems

Modules, inverters, mounting and balance-of-system components — with certification and supply-chain documentation.

Energy

Battery storage

Residential and commercial storage systems, cells and BMS — vetted in Shenzhen's battery ecosystem.

Energy

Heat pumps & HVAC

Air-source and hybrid heat pumps, ventilation and climate systems — checked against EU refrigerant and efficiency rules.

Energy

EV charging infrastructure

Wallboxes and commercial charging stations for residential and office developments.

Building intelligence

Smart building & automation

Building automation, access, sensor and energy-management systems for new builds and retrofits.

Building intelligence

LED & lighting systems

Architectural and technical lighting, from single projects to distributor programmes.

Wellness & water

Pool & spa technology

Pool systems, pumps, filtration, covers, sauna and spa equipment — a core category for Mediterranean and resort construction.

Components

Innovative building components

Prefab elements, façade systems, sanitary technology and emerging categories — assessed case by case.

A category not listed? If it belongs in a modern building, we can assess whether China sourcing makes sense for it — including a clear "no" where it doesn't.

Why China, why now

The market has already decided. The question is execution.

Demand is regulated upward

EU building-energy rules, renovation targets and heat-pump programmes are pushing European construction toward exactly the technologies on this page — while cost pressure on every project keeps rising.

Supply is concentrated in China

Around 80% of the world's solar module manufacturing and roughly three-quarters of battery cell production sit in China. In many categories, "buying European" means buying Chinese components assembled elsewhere — at a premium.

The gap is verification

A mid-sized builder in Stuttgart, Vienna or Kyrenia cannot vet a factory in Shenzhen — licenses, real production lines, genuine certificates, export track record. That verification gap is exactly what CyMea closes, on the ground.

North Cyprus builds for European buyers

The TRNC construction sector is in a building boom and sources most technology abroad. Developers who install verified, certified components gain a real sales argument with European purchasers — and a supply chain they control.

The CyMea verification framework

Every supplier gets a verdict

We assess factories and trading partners on the ground — business licenses, production reality, certification authenticity, export history, financial standing — and give you an unambiguous recommendation.

Proceed

Verified manufacturer, authentic certificates, credible export track record. We proceed to negotiation with defined quality gates.

Proceed with conditions

Fundamentals check out, but specific risks need contractual protection — escrow or letter of credit, third-party inspection, sample validation before volume.

Walk away

Reseller posing as manufacturer, unverifiable certificates, or structural red flags. We tell you plainly — and propose alternatives.

How we are paid — and why it matters

CyMea works exclusively on the buyer's side. We take no commissions from factories, hold no distribution agreements with manufacturers, and work to fixed fees agreed with you before an engagement begins. Our only product is a sourcing decision you can rely on — including "don't buy".

Services

Four ways to engage

From a first feasibility check to a standing procurement desk — each step builds on the one before it.

1

Sourcing Check

Feasibility scan for one product need: supplier landscape, realistic price corridor, certification requirements, MOQ reality — and a clear go / no-go.

On request

2

Supplier Verification

On-the-ground audit of a shortlisted supplier by our teams in the Greater Bay Area: licenses, production lines, certificate authenticity, samples — with a traffic-light verdict.

On request

3

Sourcing Mandate

End-to-end execution: negotiation, contracting via Hong Kong, payment security, pre-shipment quality inspection and logistics into your corridor — EU or North Cyprus.

On request

4

Partner Retainer

Your standing procurement desk in the Greater Bay Area: continuous supplier management, Canton Fair representation, new-product scouting and distribution-partner search.

On request

On the ground

Three locations, one supply chain

CyMea maintains an established, long-standing presence in the Greater Bay Area — three locations, each covering a distinct stage of the sourcing chain.

Guangzhou

Discovery & trade

The Pearl River Delta's trading hub and home of the Canton Fair. Supplier discovery, showroom and factory visits, trade-fair representation on your behalf.

Shenzhen

Technology & verification

The heart of China's electronics and battery ecosystem. Technical vetting of storage, inverters, charging and smart-building products; factory audits with engineering depth.

Hong Kong

Contracts & payment security

Common-law contracting, international banking and recognised arbitration. Agreements and payment structures — letters of credit, escrow — that protect European buyers.

Two delivery corridors

EU corridor: consolidated sea freight into European ports with EU customs handling.  Eastern Mediterranean corridor: for North Cyprus projects, routing runs via Türkiye — we plan customs, transshipment and final delivery into the TRNC from day one, not as an afterthought.

Compliance & standards

The paperwork is the product

Cheap sourcing ignores regulation until the shipment is stopped or the certificate turns out to be decorative. We treat compliance as a core deliverable.

For EU projects

  • CE conformity and applicable EN standards, verified — not assumed
  • EU Battery Regulation, including battery-passport readiness
  • F-gas and refrigerant rules for heat pumps and HVAC
  • Ecodesign and energy-labelling requirements
  • Forced-labour and supply-chain due-diligence exposure, assessed per supplier

For North Cyprus projects

  • EU rules don't formally apply — European buyers' expectations do
  • Verification to the same certification standard as EU deliveries
  • Documentation packs developers can show European purchasers
  • Customs and routing via Türkiye handled within the mandate
  • Warranty and after-sales commitments secured contractually via Hong Kong

How an engagement runs

From brief to delivery

01

Brief & feasibility

Your product need, volumes and target price — answered with a realistic assessment and a go / no-go recommendation.

02

Supplier landscape & verification

Shortlisting, factory visits and audits through our teams in Guangzhou and Shenzhen — closed with a traffic-light verdict per supplier.

03

Negotiation & contracting

Price and terms negotiated on the ground; contracts and payment security structured through Hong Kong.

04

Inspection & delivery

Pre-shipment quality inspection, then logistics through your corridor — EU ports or via Türkiye into North Cyprus.

Questions

Asked before every first mandate

Are you an importer or a trading company?

No. CyMea is a buyer-side advisory. We do not resell products, hold no stock and take no margin on goods. You contract with the supplier; we make sure it's the right supplier on the right terms.

We are based in North Cyprus — does this actually work for us?

Yes — deliberately so. We operate a dedicated Eastern Mediterranean corridor: shipments for TRNC projects route via Türkiye, and we plan customs, transshipment and final delivery from the start. Verified, certified components are also a genuine sales argument toward European property buyers.

What about minimum order quantities?

MOQ reality varies sharply by category. Part of every Sourcing Check is an honest MOQ assessment — including consolidation options and small-batch strategies where direct factory volumes don't fit your project size.

How do you charge?

Fixed fees for the Sourcing Check and Supplier Verification, project-based fees for mandates, and a monthly retainer for the procurement desk — all quoted individually on request and agreed before we start. We take nothing from the factory side — that independence is the service.

Can you physically visit factories and trade fairs for us?

Yes. Factory audits and showroom visits run through our teams in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and we represent clients at the Canton Fair and category-specific fairs — with structured reporting instead of holiday photos.

What happens after delivery — warranties, spare parts, claims?

After-sales is negotiated before signature, not after failure: warranty terms, spare-parts availability and claim mechanics are secured contractually via Hong Kong, with payment structures that keep leverage on your side.
