LT-LIA isn't a trader who resells other brands. We design our own hardware in Thailand, contract-manufacture it in Guangzhou to our exact spec, and ship containers direct to Chittagong. The LT-LIA hexagon on the carton is our own mark.

The route
01

Factory audit

Our Guangzhou staff visits each factory. Sample cases sent back to Dhaka for physical inspection before we place a bulk PO. If a batch fails QC, the order is cancelled — no exceptions.

02

Consolidation in Guangzhou

Rather than one factory per container, we consolidate 20–30 supplier lots into one shipment at our own bonded warehouse. This unlocks LCL rates, cuts our per-SKU cost, and keeps our SKU count above 3,000.

03

Sea freight to Chittagong

42 containers a year land at Chittagong Port. Our clearing agent has cleared for us since 2014 — average dwell time under 4 days. Duties paid, LC settled, container railed to our Tejgaon depot.

04

Stocked at Nawabpur

From the depot, product is racked at our Nawabpur wholesale showroom (C1) and Banani retail showroom (C2). Bar-coded, cycle-counted weekly, tied to our POS. So we can tell you in real time exactly how many BR-425-BR are on the shelf.

Our cartons. Our racks. Our staff on the floor.

আমাদের নিজস্ব ওয়্যারহাউস।

The LT-LIA hexagonal mark on those cartons isn't a supplier's brand — it's ours. We spec the packaging, print the boxes, and stack them in our own Guangzhou consolidation warehouse before any container leaves for Chittagong. This is what "direct import" actually looks like.

Why it matters for you

Owning the brand means owning the quality — and the price.

If you're buying an unbranded closer from a Dhaka trader who bought it from a Chittagong importer, you're paying four margins for a product no one stands behind. LT-LIA-branded items skip all those middlemen — and we back every carton because it has our name on it.

Our Deluxe line comes with a 2-year written guarantee. Try getting that from an anonymous white-box import.
