Swedish design and manufacturing — on the ground in China
LeWorks is a Swedish-founded company based in China, helping international product companies develop, manufacture, and source products — safely and transparently.
Why LeWorks exists
LeWorks was founded in 2020, during the pandemic, when companies suddenly lost the ability to travel to China and manage suppliers in person.
What became clear very quickly was that sourcing, engineering, and manufacturing in China simply do not work without trusted local execution.
Rasmus Rasmusson, CEO & Co-founder
China is not hard to buy from — it is hard to manage
Many companies can find suppliers in China. The real challenge begins when problems arise during development, production, or delivery.
- Distance makes issues invisible until it is too late
- Remote sourcing agents can report problems, but rarely fix them
- Language, incentives, and local norms matter more than price alone
