The polymer trade between China and Southeast Asia runs through intermediaries who capture margin from information asymmetry. When a buyer in Ho Chi Minh City doesn't know the factory price, the merchant spread, or the current freight market, the trading house captures that gap.
Kantor inverts this. We evaluate 600+ merchants across approximately 1,600 producers on every order. Buyers delegate procurement optimization to us and judge on outcomes: price quality, execution reliability, and market guidance accuracy.
This isn't a marketplace. We don't connect buyers to sellers. We operate the procurement function on the buyer's behalf — sourcing, evaluation, execution, and intelligence — with economics that improve as we aggregate more demand.
