Efficio opens Shanghai office, strengthening global procurement and supply chain support for multinationals

London, UK 5th February 2026 - Efficio, the world’s leading procurement and supply chain consultancy, is delighted to announce the opening of its new office in Shanghai, China. This expansion marks a significant step in Efficio’s Asia-Pacific strategy and enables the firm to provide enhanced, localised support to large multinationals across a range of industries operating in, or with, the world’s largest manufacturing market.

Deep experience supporting multinationals in China

Efficio’s track record in China spans nearly two decades, supporting large, international businesses with procurement and supply chain transformation. Our teams have successfully delivered complex projects for multinationals in sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, technology, and more. As our clients increasingly look to strengthen their supply chains and optimise sourcing from China, Efficio’s Shanghai office will provide the on-the-ground expertise and rapid mobilisation required to meet these evolving needs.

How Efficio will support clients from Shanghai

The Shanghai office serves as a scalable, agile hub to deliver Efficio’s full breadth of procurement and supply chain services, from sourcing and supplier management to working capital optimisation. The local team brings together senior procurement professionals with both deep sector expertise and global project experience. Our presence will enable Efficio to offer continuous, hands-on support to clients with operations and supply chains in China, as well as to those looking to find and manage sources of supply in China and South East Asia.

Efficio is also investing in building local capability, including the recruitment of experienced professionals from both China and international markets. This allows us to offer clients a seamless, high-quality service, whether the need is for local category expertise, supply chain resilience, or broader procurement transformation.

A sustainable growth strategy

Efficio’s approach to market entry in China is deliberately phased and client-driven. The Shanghai office is now open as a formally recognised Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise (WOFE). Efficio’s global model also includes robust support for secondees and local recruitment, ensuring flexibility and the ability to scale in line with client needs.
