02 / WHO WE ARE

Thirty years, one thing.

Import distribution and integrated marketing for everyday consumer goods — one continuous chain.

Echo began in Shanghai in 1995. For more than thirty years we have focused on one thing: bringing imported everyday consumer goods into the China market — from customs clearance and product registration to shelf space and brand communication.

Household cleaning, beauty and personal care, men's grooming, home fragrance — four categories make up our everyday. We believe lasting brand value comes from a sustained understanding of products, markets and daily life, not from a single campaign.

Today we represent eleven brands — from the UK, Belgium, the United States, France and beyond — working through major online platforms and premium offline retail.

We also keep looking for what comes next: new brands, new categories, and new ways for good products to become part of ordinary life.

03 / MISSION & VISION

Why we are here.

MISSION

In fast-moving consumer goods we are a specialist in import distribution and integrated marketing, with deep product penetration and real opportunities for brand development.

VISION

To meet the small, everyday needs of Chinese consumers — and to raise the quality of daily life by bringing them a richer choice of high-quality imported goods.

04 / VALUES

Four words we work by.

Not slogans on a wall — the four things we actually check ourselves against.

05 / WHAT WE ARE GOOD AT

What makes the chain hold.

01

Wide market penetration

Major online platforms alongside supermarkets and premium retail — each product reaching the shelf and the setting that fit it.

02

A marketing team that knows the market

Positioning, content, in-store display and activation run by one team, so strategy and execution never drift apart.

03

Import and registration experience

Customs, label filing, inspection and product compliance — mapped by category, so every step before the shelf is predictable.

04

Opening new channels

We keep testing new content platforms, retail formats and regional markets — finding growth for brands instead of competing over what already exists.

06 / RECOGNITION

Recognised by the brands we work with.

Unilever International partner awards, and consecutive China Beauty Expo industry awards.
