Project Supply

Korean sourcing for
construction and
infrastructure programs

Korea-based sourcing and supply partner for construction and infrastructure programs across the Asia-Pacific, including U.S. Government and defense projects.

Eastlink sources materials and equipment from qualified manufacturers in the Republic of Korea and delivers them to project sites across the Pacific. We are not a stockholding distributor. We act as our customer's sourcing arm in Korea — identifying and qualifying the manufacturer, verifying specification and origin, assembling the compliance documentation, and managing export, inspection and logistics through to the destination port.
