Who We Are
Clarity. Control. Commercial Confidence.
At Novex, we help businesses turn fragmented, time-consuming sourcing into a structured, strategic advantage. We work exclusively with B2B clients — from mid-sized enterprises to multinational brands — to solve complex supply challenges with clarity, speed, and commercial certainty.
HOW DID WE GET HERE
Company History Timeline
Year 1975
Our roots go deep in manufacturing and supply chain execution. Edward James began working in manufacturing, sourcing, and supply chain management in 1975, building decades of hands-on experience across multiple industries.
Year 1995
In 1995, Edward moved to Italy and founded Novex SaS, working closely with European manufacturers and brands to improve sourcing transparency and supplier reliability. Soon after, Ian James joined the business, and together they laid the foundation for what would become a globally active sourcing group.
Year 2010
In 2010, Novex transitioned into Novex Group Srl, expanding its reach and refining its consulting-led methodology. One year later, Ian moved to Germany, gaining direct experience in manufacturing operations, IT systems, and technical sales — which would later inform Novex’s structured, technology-aware approach to sourcing.
Year 2014
In 2014, Edward relocated to the United Kingdom, helping further internationalise the firm and align it with UK-based corporate clients and procurement teams. This allowed Novex to operate fluently across the European sourcing landscape, while expanding its delivery model globally.
Year 2025
In 2025, Novex formally launched operations in Germany, adding deeper continental reach and strengthening its supplier auditing and execution capabilities.
We are connected with thousands of vetted manufacturers and wholesalers worldwide, allowing us to ensure global consistency of supply, multi-market sourcing flexibility, and robust contingency planning. This network — continuously validated and expanded — supports our clients with scalable, cross-border solutions that remain aligned to brand, cost, and compliance requirements.
Today, Novex supports clients across a broad spectrum of industries — from consumer goods and packaging to engineering and private label manufacturing — and has worked with hundreds of companies across six continents.
We are not agents or intermediaries. We are strategic partners — embedded in your process, aligned to your goals, and measured by the commercial value we deliver.
