Our Story

Bridging Europe and Asia's industrial worlds

MAXAM Group was founded in Hong Kong in 2018 by professionals who saw a gap: European companies needed trusted partners on the ground in Asia—not brokers, but real industrial operators.

Who we are

Industrial experts, not management consultants

MAXAM Group is an international industrial consulting firm specializing in Europe-Asia connections. We help European industrial companies set up, optimize, and source operations in Asia—and assist Asian manufacturers entering the European market.

Unlike large consulting firms, our team comprises engineers and operators who have run factories, negotiated with Chinese suppliers, and commissioned production lines. We bring field expertise, not slideware.

With offices in 8 cities across 5 countries, we provide the local knowledge and network that makes the difference between a project that succeeds and one that doesn't.
