THE BEIJING AXIS China Business in Perfect Strokes

THE BEIJING AXIS (TBA) is a cross-border business bridge to/from China in three principal areas: Strategy, Sourcing and Investment.

Since our establishment in 2002, we have successfully worked with many international and Chinese MNCs across various sectors and industries, with a core focus on the Chinese mining and natural resources sector and on China's burgeoning industrial and engineering sector. Our work is always cross-border – supporting international firms as they act in unfamiliar territory in China, or supporting Chinese firms as they venture out and 'go global'. We are committed to safety and sustainability, and our solutions emphasise 'actions and transactions'.

Our company is organised along 3 synergistic cross-border China businesses: TBA China Strategy Group, TBA China Sourcing Unit and TBA China Capital Advisors.

• In Strategy, we help clients enter new markets, expand existing markets, develop and implement new strategies, and better understand their
  customer base and competitive environment through analysis and intervention. We provide these services through TBA China Strategy Group
  (CSG).
• In Sourcing, we help clients build and manage supply chains in China and abroad - for projects, equipment, components, finished products, raw materials and commodities. We identify and select qualified suppliers, organise tenders, and request and analyse quotations. We also assist clients in negotiating favourable commercial terms, overseeing contract execution (including QA/QC and expediting) and coordinating communications and logistics across the supply chain. We support bulk commodity producers with their international marketing efforts, and assist bulk commodity users with their procurement efforts. We provide these services through Bateman Beijing Axis, a JV between TBA China Sourcing Unit (CSU) and Bateman Engineering N.V. Bateman Beijing Axis is a China-focused Global Procurement House.
• In Investment, we help clients raise capital from strategic investors and advise clients on cross-border acquisition, disposal and joint-venture transactions. We provide this service through TBA China Capital Advisors (CCA).

We work across industries but have exceptional experience in metals, mining, industrial machinery, chemicals, transport and automotive components.
