Our Story

Bridging Africa &
China Since 2019

HBR Solutions Limited was built by Nigerians who understood the gap — the language barriers, the unreliable middlemen, the quality surprises. We became the bridge we wished had existed.

Who We Are

More than a
procurement agent.

HBR Solutions Limited — trading as Elkaris China Procurement Hub — is a full-service sourcing and procurement company headquartered in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, with an active operational office in China.

We were founded in 2019 with a single mission: to give Nigerian businesses and entrepreneurs direct, reliable access to China's manufacturing ecosystem — without the risks, language barriers, or hidden costs that have historically plagued African importers.

Today, we serve clients across Nigeria, helping them source everything from electronics and fashion to industrial machinery and building materials — all at factory-direct prices, with full quality assurance and end-to-end logistics support.
