About Us

The Origin of Moonick Asia

Moonick Asia began as a team of seasoned corporate buyers brought together for one mission: to secure one of the largest energy procurement deals in the European market—a quarter-billion-euro contract for one of Germany’s top 4 major utility players.

Each member of the team brought deep procurement expertise from giants like Volkswagen, Apple, ABB and others, they were handpicked for their ability to navigate the complexities of cross-border sourcing, supplier negotiations, and contract structuring in the Chinese market.

After successfully delivering the project, the team faced a turning point. Rather than going their separate ways, they chose to stay together. United by trust, experience, and a shared vision, they formed Moonick Asia—not just as a company, but as a bridge between European clients and the often-inaccessible layers of the Chinese supply chain.

Today, Moonick Asia helps businesses across Europe unlock better pricing, smarter terms, and more resilient supply relationships by leveraging the team’s hard-earned networks and insights—built in boardrooms, factories, and negotiation tables across two continents.
