# About CNAL Consulting

Sourcing and supply chain consulting from Madrid, with people on the ground in the markets we cover.

## Who we are

CNAL Consulting is a Madrid-based international consultancy specializing in sourcing, supply chain management, market entry, and business verification across China, Türkiye, and the European Union.

We work as an operational partner, not a remote advisor. We speak the languages, visit the factories, read the contracts in the original language, and give you an honest assessment of what we find. Every report is personally reviewed. Every project has a single point of contact from start to finish.

Over 50 projects completed. Clients in more than 16 countries. Languages: Mandarin Chinese, Turkish, Spanish, and English.
