Asia Trade Consulting

What Asia Trade Consulting does

Asia Trade Consulting (legal name ASIA TRADE) is a Peruvian-based import consulting firm headquartered in Lima that facilitates the procurement of industrial machinery, production lines, and technology from China and other Asian countries into Peru. The firm operates as a boutique professional services provider, guiding Peruvian business owners through the full import lifecycle: commercial intelligence, supplier identification and validation, on-site factory inspections in Asia, term negotiation, order tracking, international freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and post-delivery technical support. Its target customer is Peruvian manufacturing and industrial enterprises, particularly in food and beverage, seeking to modernize operations through imported Asian equipment.

The company is founder-led by CEO Aldo Girao Kosaka, who personally conducts every prospective client consultation via a 30-minute discovery call accessed through the firm's website contact form. Asia Trade Consulting generates revenue through professional service fees charged to clients on import engagements; pricing is quote-based and tied to the client's planned investment amount, and is not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales delivered by the CEO, supported by a single digital channel (the company website) and a curated supplier network in Asia. The firm competes on the strength of the founder's Asia expertise and on end-to-end execution capability rather than on proprietary technology.

Operationally, the firm runs lean with 11 employees, has been active since 2007, and has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no documented M&A activity. A documented reference engagement with Ecolácteos (a Peruvian dairy processor) involved a USD $142,000 import of yogurt and cheese production lines plus a custom-built cold storage chamber, completed in 60 days versus the firm's stated 8-week average delivery benchmark for machinery imports. The firm is privately held, domiciled in Peru, and operates without any disclosed AI, software platform, or proprietary technology stack.
