Who we are

Built to bridge operational distance.

International sourcing works best when both the customer and manufacturer have people nearby who understand the assignment.

Prowal was established in 2007 to support international trade between Europe and Asia. Our Dutch team manages the European customer relationship, commercial framework and project direction. Our team in Qingdao communicates directly with manufacturers and supports product development, production follow-up and quality coordination. This structure reduces dependence on remote communication and creates a clear path for decisions and escalation.

How we are organised

One assignment. Two local teams.

The Netherlands

Your European interface

The Dutch team translates the business requirement into a clear sourcing assignment and remains the central point of contact.

  • Commercial communication

How we operate

Practical principles.

Clear ownership

Every assignment requires a clear scope, responsible contacts and defined decisions.

Direct communication

Questions and deviations should reach the right person without unnecessary layers.

Transparent reporting

Customers need visibility of progress, risks, decisions and required actions.

Honest assessment

Not every product, supplier or assignment is suitable. We say so when that is the case.
